Springfree trampolines

**IhaveYourToaster** · 11-08-2011 11:34

I was wondering if anyone could recommend these trampolines? I am looking into getting my almost 2yr old DD one as she loves the old school one we have (metal rectangular frame, exposed springs) but obviously can't jump on it by herself safely.
Would like to hear about any other brands you recommend also.
Thanks!

We looked into getting a springfree trampoline for our DD but all the ones around us where over $1500.
We ended up getting a trampoline with a net around it but with the springs on the outside of the netting.

Hopefully you find a decent priced one.

Thanks confusd. Yeah the cheapest I have seen of theirs is $945. Just not sure if it's worth it.

In my opinion they are NOT worth it. They are 1000.00 for a SMALL 8 ft trampoline. To me as long as kids are supervised on the trampoline I don't see why they can't be as safe as one with springs. We just bought the 14 ft one from target with the mesh all around it. It also has the springs on the outside. they are AWESOME!

Ours is a huge one with netting all round and the springs are covered by padding.

We have a springfree, but only because it was given to us by DH Aunt and Uncle. They are pretty awesome compared to the old rectangle ones, but IMO not worth the money they cost. My youngest DD is almost 2, and I figured I could put her on it and zip it up while I was putting the washing on the line, but she unzips it, so I have to stay by the opening anyway.

I do love not having to worry about the kids falling off or getting their hair caught in the springs, but I think a cheaper one from K-Mart would be just as reassuring.

A friend of mine has a square springfree trampoline. It is really sturdy and looks like it will last longer than my Target one.

I another friend took the leg poles off her trampoline so it was only as high as the feet iykwim. She did it so she didn't have to have the net up and the Lo's could get on n off as they pleased.

Thanks ladies! We ended up getting a Vuly trampoline with net and tent and it is brilliant!

I have a Vuly too, best tramp ever! And we just love the tent!

**IhaveYourToaster** · 15-09-2011 22:12

Yes we are very impressed. First day using it and the tent and my DD discovered she can crawl on the padded mat in between the net and the tent. Was tough to get her out of there! So much for jumping!
