Trampoline mini - can exercise trampoline be used for kids?

[danpige]

Is there a real difference between the mini trampolines for kids and the small exercise ones you can get? Loads of the exercise ones for sale second hand and I am thinking I might as well get one of them?

We inherited a small exercise one and some kids complain it doesn't have much 'bounce' (it does seem stiffer than the kids ones). Cos there's no bar to hold onto it does also seem a lot less safe but tbh DS seems to prefer to use it as a car park for his cars rather than a trampoline!
