Durable design

This trampoline comes in a range of sizes to fit into gardens, both small and large. It can be self-assembled with the included instructions. For strength, the frame is without welds, and the padding is made from PVC to resist UV rays. The enclosure is attached to the outside of the jumping mat to keep users away from the frame.

Best for toddlers

Balance improver

This trampoline is ideal as a first buy and is recommended for little ones ages 18 months and above. There’s a soft-grip handle to help them stay stable, and the jumping mat is made without springs. It’s 85-by-81-by-81 centimetres so that it won’t take up much space, but it doesn’t fold down for storage.

Best for adults, too
