Trampoline with handle for older children?

DD is five and the size of a seven year old. We have just moved to a house with a teeny garden-it is also mostly paved. Her trampoline doesnt fit and it was a cheapy thing that never had much bounce in it anyway as well as she had learned to jump and swing on the net so it came dangerously close to tipping up a few times.

But she needs a trampoline really for her OT exercises and I think I'd like to get one of the smaller ones with a handle but I need a really sturdy one-I have seen one like this at oir old childrens centre but it was from a catalogue for school supplies. Anyone know where I could get hold of one?

there's one here that says for key stage 2, worth ringing to see if they accept private orders. Or there's something like this which is a handle for an adult rebounder.

Thanks ninja-first link my stupid computer blocked me from but is it TLS or similar? Must have a look at our catalogues at work, I have seen lots I wanted for dd but didnt realise I could do private orders-well maybe I can't but never thought to ask I mean.

same one on a different site. Could you order through work, is that a possibility?

Argh again my computer is blocking me but will try and get it from the name of the link as at least this time that shows. New broadband as we have moved and it is rubbish!

I can't order through work as we are managed by a school but not a school if that makes sense-I asked before but it all has to go through our accounts which are checked by the county council. BUT I could ring them directly and ask about it, you never know.

Just managed to get that link and that is exactly what I am after, thanks! Now I just need to persuade them they can let me order privately. Or persuade school somehow to work with me on it!

if you google school supplies uk and then search the site for trampoline it comes up on a few of them. I don't envy you moving, I still have boxes from 4 years ago, hope you're all settled soon!

That trampoline is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you.
Hope the move goes ok. We move 2 years ago and I would say we're only just sorted in the house!

I got this one for my dd www.tp-toys.com/shop/proddetails.asp?ProductID=110
And I know Galt toys make one very similar

Thanks and I know, moving is a nightmare. We've moved to be nearer dd's school as they are very very good for her and the best place for now but it is not my dream home, small ish and rubbish garden. Still, good to have our own place after years of renting and we luckily dont have too much to do but its the boxes for us too I can well imagine leaving them! No loft or garage here though so will have to do something at least start, argh. Thinking of applying to the family fund for help with making the garden more apprpriate for dd.

I liek that last link too but am worried about the max weight, think dd is 27 kilos but could be wrong. She is heavy!
