We have a small garden so are limited for play equipment, I like the look of this for dd4 and ds6 but I'm not sure how good they really are. Just wondered if anyone already has this..I'll try and work out how to do a link

we have a normal taller trampoline and I really not sure that one is a good idea! We have a safety net around it and it is 8ft wide (I think) but the kids are always crashing into it. surely they could still cause some nasty injuries coming off that one - since it is small, they are bound to fall off.

fios one looks lot better, with the net. I dont think you need a massive one unless oyu want to go on it with them

That was my concern but also I don't like it when there is more than one child bouncing and I wondered if this would be prevented because it was so small.

fio's does look good but ds is already 6 so would really be too old for that one.

personally for 2 dc the ages of yours 5t may be too small. I am looking at getting an 8ft one for my trio but oldest is 4. I just imagine if I lay down and the kids only had from my toes to my shoulders length to jump then I can forsee a lot of accidents especially 2 together iykwim

I think if I got it they would have to use it under close supervision but this would probably defeat the object.
