Advantages: 10ft!
Disadvantages: price

...This trampoline is perfect in almost every single way. I have always wanted a trampoline, so i know what great gift it would make for a family member. Obviously this trampoline will make you bounce , but it also has othr features such as the little ladder to give you and easy, safe way to access it. Also it has safety padding, which covers the metal edging, so that you won't hurt yourself if you land on the edge. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of this trampoline, one being it doesn't have the safety netting that some do which in the eyes of the parent of the child, is very important to make sure that the child does not fall off whilst bouncing - something that once happened to me and left a scar. I personally do not believe that this trampoline is worth £179.99. My reason being if you can afford to pay... Read review

Advantages: great fun, good way to exersice,
Disadvantages: you have to fight the kids off

...As you may have noticed by the title, i am reviewing the 8ft trampoline with enclosure. Which looks different from the one pictured ( but looks nice) and is smaller, but i will get round to that later. PACKAGING : This trampoline and enclosure come in the same box which is about 5ft x 2ft x 1ft and is a rectangle shape. the packaging is quite plain as it is a large cardboard box, with a big sticker on it showing the trampoline and the name of maker. I will add the box is very heavy, i had to have my partner pick it up for me as there was no way i could have lifted it by myself. So if you are a single mum and you want to pick it up, it would be easier if you had someone to help, also i dont think the box will fit into small cars, exspecially with the kids in the back. SETTING IT UP : When you have opened the box, if you have... Read review

Advantages: Great exercise for little legs, lightweight, sturdy, lots of fun!
Disadvantages: None.

...My daughter was one on 1st June and I can honestly say that there is not one toy that she does not play with or that we wish she had not have got. Karys (my daughter) loves to bounce. As soon as her legs were strong enough for her to push on them - she bounced. We bought her a door bouncer which she used daily from 5 months old and loved it. So when it came to her first birthday I searched around for a suitable trampoline. The bog standard junior trampolines that have the handle on were quite pricey but also impossible for Karys to get on and off on her own as she is not quite walking unaided just yet. Also these type of trampolines usually state they are for 3 years up which was no good at all. Then I hit the jackpot whilst creating Karys' birthday wish list on the Early Learning Centre website and here my story continues... Read review

...What do you do with an energy filled 5 year old? Buy him a trampoline to bounce it all out on. You want more? OK. tp do a large range of climbing frames, trampolines and all manner of accessories for keeping kids amused in the garden. They have a great full colour catalogue which covers everything in detail with sizes, part numbers and recommendations. Having decided to buy a trampoline, tp was our first port of call having already bought one of their climbing frames and been impressed by the ease of build and general quality. We picked up a catalogue from John Lewis/Waitrose and after checking sizes, placed an order for a medium sized one which arrived a few days later. Putting it together is very straightforward. Some fairly chunky but lightweight metalwork needs to be slotted together to act as the base and main ring... Read review

Advantages: Hours of endless fun and not just for the wee ones
Disadvantages: When the weather is bad

...The reason we decided to buy this trampoline is because my youngest son never asks for anything really expensive for birthday or christmas presents and we thought this would make the perfect birthday present. The trampoline was bought for his last birthday (July 2007), he was delighted, all my kids have had hours of fun and the added bonus is that they are out playing and I know they are safe. We bought the trampoline from Woolworths, it cost around £125 (approx) It came in two large cardboard packages. Whats in the box ? 6 pieces - upper frame tube with foam 6 pieces - lower frame tube with foam 6 pieces - cap blue and green 12 pieces - screws 12 pieces - screw cover 5 pieces - cord 96" 6 pieces - cord 120" 1 instruction manual When assembling it was quite easy but it does take two people, however hubby did all...

...Anyone who has read my brothers first review will know that it is his trampoline that I am writing about! I did offer to help him re-write his but he unfortunately wasn’t interested and so I decided I would write a review on it myself. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The Trampoline ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The trampoline was brought for my brother as a birthday present back in September. It had become a bit of a craze where we live to have one of these trampolines and so after persistent begging my dad ordered him one from Argos. The trampoline itself is 13ft in diameter (396cm) and 35inches in height (89cm). The framework is made from galvanised steel and is very robust. The jumping mat is high quality and made from black heavy-duty material, which has a white X, shape marked in the middle to indicate the safest spot to jump! The jumping... Read review

Advantages: Nice and compact size for the smaller garden.
Disadvantages: Maybe the cover could be better.

...We decided to buy this for our 4 year old's birthday last July, as she is trampolining mad! We wanted to encourage her to exercise as much as we could, as too many kids don't get enough these days! I researched this like mad, on the internet as usual, asking friends which one they'd bought, as it just seemed that summer EVERYONE had one, EVERYONE wanted one, and EVERYONE sold them - all differing prices and qualities - it was a minefield! Eventually after much deliberation and shopping around, I decided on a TP brand of trampoline. Without actually being able to walk around a trampoline shop and look/feel the quality of each one, the next best thing was to go with a well known reputable manufacturer, although slightly more expensive than others, I felt that it looked well made. Also, having a second younger child, we wanted one... Read review

Advantages: A good way of keeping fit, burning calories and improving balance
Disadvantages: You can get hurt if you mess around

...Of course I could only be talking about my favourite sporting hobby, trampolining – what did you think I was talking about? I grew up in Hastings and as a kid, loved playing on the seafront trampolines, but it got quite expensive if you wanted to have a go for half an hour every summer day. In the end my friend Jayne and I (Dodger on Ciao) used to visit the trampolines late at night after a session washing up at a restaurant, and remove the barbed wire covers. We could be seen practicing somersaults up to about 11.00 at night at the age of 13, such fun! At age 19, I moved to Bucks, which is not exactly known for it beaches, so my trampolining stopped as I assumed there would be nowhere I could continue. How wrong I was. •• WHERE CAN YOU DO IT? •• There are a number of trampolining clubs in my... Read review

Advantages: Light, ideal size for a child to climb on independantly
Disadvantages: Doesn't fold up and takes up storage space

...Last Summer although Muzz was a baby, I decided that I wanted him to have a trampoline. Having looked a round there were 2 or 3 which I had in mind and my mum and dad offered to buy one for his birthday. Seeing as his birthday is in October we had a few problems trying to locate the one I really wanted. So my mum and dad eventually just bought the Trampoline from Toys R Us. At the time it cost around £24.99 but has recently been reduced in price to £19.99. When my mum and dad brought the trampoline over, it was in a flat packed sort of box which wasn't very big and when I lifted it to move the box, it was remarkably light. Even lighter than a McLaren Buggy. But it sat in the hall behind the ironing board for just over 5 months before we decided that it was time we should get it out. The material part for the bouncy part... Read review
