Safe Family Fun

Trampolines come in many sizes and shapes, and some have special features, including an enclosure net for added safety. Popular brands of kids trampolines include skywalker trampolines ActivPlay and the 7 ft My First Trampoline. Propel and Skywalker trampolines are popular with kids of all ages.

Not coincidentally, professional gymnasts choose rectangular trampolines over other shapes. You’ve probably noticed there are trampolines that can be built into the ground. Basically, you dig a hole, install the trampoline, and the kids jump as if they are on the ground, but with more bounce. There is no proof that this actually lowers the risk of injury, though, since the frame and the springs can still present a safety hazard. You’ll want a trampoline with at least a year’s warranty on the frame, and a safety net that can be replaced. You’ll also want to make sure that the weight limit is high enough for your jumpers, and that the trampoline is made of materials that can withstand some heavy bouncing.

Although it is not considered to be the absolute safest trampoline there is, it’s still very safe and we do recommend it. All Skywalker trampolines meet or exceed ASTM safety standards. And, according to Skywalker’s site, the company aims for excellence and the highest possible levels of efficiency, safety, and quality. Would you like to shake up your exercise routine at home, or give the kids a fun activity they can enjoy with their friends?

As an aside, Skywalker also tells you how you can become an authorized retailer. Skywalker does keep to the safety requirements, though, and Springfree costs a whole lot more. I can’t promise to have covered every brand, but if you’ve got a question, just ask – I’ll try to look it up and add it in for you. Skywalker sells enclosure nets separately, for those who bought second-hand as well as those who are the worried sort and want to replace the net every year  or so. Springfree Trampoline provides a range of tools to help you buy a trampoline for your family. Use tools such as the Model Selector, Compare Models and Augmented Reality to make the perfect choice.

bounce pro trampoline can last anywhere from three months to six years and more. Still, if you want to prevent injuries, make sure you are familiar with the safety rules. Also know that there are different types of trampoline frames and joints. Make sure your trampoline uses these (Skywalker uses them). Generally speaking, if you’re not looking for a professional trampoline, a simple, classic, middle-of-the-road trampoline should be perfect.

Some of the pages did load in Firefox, but I couldn’t click anything. When I tried to click a link, the page kind of jumped and stayed the same. This also happened with those arrows you click to show the next product on the same page.

Customer reviews show the Skywalker trampoline is relatively easy to put together. Skywalker doesn’t say where they manufacture their trampolines, but another review mentioned that the trampolines, like most of what you buy, are made in China. As for which of their trampolines are bounciest, I would have to say the rectangular ones. The rectangular shape in general lends itself to being more bouncy, and therefore is the preferred shape for gymnasts and aspiring gymnasts.
