Trampolines! Good idea or a waste of space after the novelty has worn off??

[PippiLangstrump]

Please advice.

just wanted to say thanks to you all for helping me out and give you an update. we got an 8ft one and I feel it's the perfect size. There's plenty of space for DD and many more kids (as shown on her bthday party). easy to assemble and does not take too much space.

the only downside to the one we've got is that the actual trampoline stands lower to the floor than other I've seen, which is a good thing so DD can go on it by herself but not good for an heavt adult to jump as DH almost touched the floor. and yes the weight limit is 150kg. (suspicious though).

all in all very very happy.

Pippi - did you use the website mentioned above i.e. onlinetoysdirect.co.uk? I've just been musing over the idea of getting one for us! And another thing - whats 150kg in Imperial please?!

saythatagain, I wanted to buy from them, I even called them and they were really nice and helpful. DH was in charge and he went for another company (was his present). the trampoline is called Mad Dash, if you google it you'll find it, it's one of the most pop sites.

it was 119.00 free delivery. it is really good.

not very good on imperial but DH says approx 20st.

We have just bought this one and it is great. Both dcs (age 6 and 4) go on it, and I have had a bounce too. Needs two people to assemble but relatively easy.
Kids love it and even wanted to leave playscheme early (unheard of) to come home and play with it. Also were on it at 7am this morning - getting our own back on neighbours who were in their garden screaching at 9pm when my two were trying to sleep The weight limit is 23st so dh and I could go on together if we wanted

yea that's the one we've got to Carbonel. My conversion from metric to imperial wasn't the best...

too...
