I'm going to have to get a trampoline for DS as he is bouncing on his bed all the time! I also have dd (6) who will want to use it - we don't have a massive garden what do you think is the best size to get that will do the job without taking up too much space?

We have an 8 footer, TP, with the net surround. Best buy ever, but my boy is so bouncy that we have also bought an (adult) rebounder mini trampoline for inside. Am now considering whether I need one also for upstairs, as the house shakes when he bounces upstairs. All beds have been reinforced with plyboard nailed to base!

I think 8 foot is the smallest that is still worth it. Ours is 10 foot and that's plenty big enough for our 3, with a net.

We have just got an 8 foot from Argos as our garden is only just over 10 feet wide! It is perfect for my nearly 6 year old.

We have got a large one but get any size as long as it good quality and you get a good bounce!

I have still got a teeny one indoors that lives behind the sofa but can't actually see it in my living room apart from when you come thru the door!

We also have an 8ft TP one - my kids are also 3 and 6 and both use it!

I couldn't recommend a trampoline enough - they've got hours of play out of it and even use it as a den! Has helped with my dd's strength and co-ordination no end Smile

We got a 12 foot one of these last week. It is fab, really easy to put together, the net is nice and taught and can be removed for storage. Although it's Tesco branded it's made by TP so is very good quality.

12 foot turned out to be a bit too big so would recommend 10 foot for a teenager and 8 foot for little ones.
