Product Information

Common outdoor trampoline injuries include sprains or fractures caused by awkward landings, many of which occur when two or more people are using the trampoline at the same time (it should always be one at a time). You should be able to set the trampoline into the ground yourself by digging a big hole, but you'll need to know about retaining walls, drainage and such. Might be one for the professionals unless you're very handy. It's also a decent size, not too big or small and is suited to most children above age 6.

When it comes to buying a safe trampoline, look for models with safety pads that cover the springs and frame, or enclosures (ie netting) that should prevent children from bouncing off the trampoline.If you're concerned about your lawn, and are planning to move the trampoline regularly to avoid dead patches in the grass, then consider the weight of the model when purchasing – some of them are pretty hefty.

So if you're looking for the best trampoline for your kids - one that'll last for years to come and not prove too much of an eyesore for neighbours, you've come to the right place. To help you make an informed choice, we’ve tested and investigated the top models on the market, taking special note of the trampolines our trusted community of Mumsnet users rave about, especially those that have additional safety features. Look for materials and components that look like they’ll last. It’s also well worth paying a little extra for decent padding on the frame and covering the springs. Accidents do happen, but a bit of padding goes a long way. A sure-fire way to protect your trampoline from the elements in winter is to dissemble it and store it away in a garage or shed. Although this could be cumbersome, it’ll go a long way towards ensuring your trampoline stays in tip-top condition for longer. How much should I spend on a trampoline?

What is the best shape for a trampoline?

A trampoline is a big investment but also one with which safety is paramount, so we also reviewed the latest safety guidelines, as laid out by experts from organisations such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), to make sure that every product we were recommending met or exceeded European safety regulations. We've also put together our own guide to trampoline safety. If your trampoline feels particularly light, it’s a good idea to anchor it into the ground using an anchor kit. This will reduce the risk of it flying through the air and into your neighbour’s garden should there be a storm.
