Want to treat my daughter she is only 2 but I no she will love it and there are all ways older children round at her house.

Any way any one bought one and recommend a decent one for no more than £200 ?

Good grief, I think ours cost about 20 quid from argos.

Can I recommend if you're getting a big one, then you get the cage thing that goes round it so they cant fall off.

Yer thats the plan, I am thinking the more the money the better its built the longer it will last.

We have had one of these going strong for 5 years now

We also have the 12ft Canberra one by the same company, they both seem built to last.

i'm not a parent so ignore me if you want. but i'd try and avoid any where head on metal contact can occur as you don't want it going pete tonge. dome where the trampoline frames are covered by material.

Jolie, it get's wierder, I've just realised who you are (forum wise). You are the only person to make me shed a tear in the last god knows how many years with that chuffin' lion clip

I've been making people cry over the last few days with it.

Actually, come to think of it, I'm amazed that in this day and age of health & safety madness, trampolines are still allowed ! :eek:

Bad time to tell you then, that the disabled kid I look after had one that you could not only bounce on, but that swung from the ceiling toon

The linked trampoline is a good one - most of the TP range is solid quality, we have one of their tree house type things as well.

You could say the same about riding a bike, swimming, the list goes on. I have 3 kids aged 3, 4 and 7, two trampolines (8ft and 12ft) and never a single mishap. The TP range are built with safety in mind and as long as you don't let 2 kids on at once I can't see the problem.
