Perhaps they are fed up with sleepless nights, teething etc and they're gonna bounce her into outer space.

Well, we left it 'till they were 3 and 4. And it was a bit bigger to accommodate a friend. But I wouldn't be hacked off about it.

Maybe they want to store things UNDER it? Shelter bikes, or lawmowers from the rain?

Or maybe they want to look what is in YOUR garden?
