This product has lasted well with two children putting it under regular use/ abuse on a daily basis. It can fold to almost flat for easy storage, it occasionally needs some of the screws tightened up. When we first assembled it, it was a tough two man job to tension and tie the elastic, however, we have not needed to touch it since. Good product worth the money.
It’s safe and sturdy, can live outside and is very much enjoyed by my three-yr-old.
Bought this for my grandsons bday and he loves it.
Very good or the price would recommend this one , we haven’t toke it down as yet but our son benefits from it for sensory inpu
Bought as a present and my grand daughter loves it. At the moment it is only used inside but it is nice and compact so easy to store. Hopefully it will also be ok outside, when the weather improves.
Great little mini trampoline for kids under 5(ish). My little one still has a go but he’s 7 so ahem a little bit too big! Durable, folds away and good to wear the kids out or to equip a smaller garden 🙂
Bought for a gift for our son. Lovely colours and fairly easy to assemble with 2 people. He plays on it most days and it is always a hit when his little friends come over to play too. Very good quality. Overall, really happy with this purchase.
Fairly easy to assemble but needs two people when putting the mat and its Elastic on. My grand kids love it.
Good Product. execution, easy to put on, though an adjustable handle would be useful.
Worth the money.
A very happy toddler!!
I managed to assemble this by myself, it was hard work, but just about possible
Bought this for our 2 year old granddaughter and she loves it. This is very sturdy and the elasticated cuff that goes all the way around the edge means we don’t have to worry about her feet going through the straps. Folds fairly easily so it can be stored behind the sofa when not in use. Recommended.
Came without additional packing so my child knew what it was when it was delivered so ruined the surprise. Other than that no issues, great you can fold legs and store it to the side when not in use
Excellent quality product fairly easy to assemble. Grand daughter absolutely loves it.
Quality childs trampoline. Simple to put together, tool supplied. Good size and legs can be removed by hand as springs hold them in place.
Bought this for school and the kids really enjoy using i
If one person building, do yourself a favour and buy a Irwin Quick clamp to help assemble and some cable ties. The bungle cord is a pain to hold tight to thread through the hoops if you only have two hands.
Great little trampoline – my two year old loves it. Make sure you put the parts the right way around when fixing the frame together as we took ages building then realised we’d connected the handle part too far apart and had to take to pieces to reassemble!
Bought this as a Christmas present for my young brother (1.5 years old) and he loved it. A little difficult to put together in terms of threading the bungee chord all the way around, but once made it is very stable and conveniently store-able flat by folding the legs and removing the handle. There isnt too much in the way of padding around the metal frame but other than that a good buy
Good product, easy to assemble (you need two people), kids love it.
Pros – the trampoline is sturdy and feels safe.
it comes with the allen key and spanner needed
to asemble it.
Cons – it definitely needs two people to put
together simply for the elastic cable part.
Difficult even with two! With not much use it
needs tightning up again – the allen key screws come loose.
The handle is a good support but is a bit of a pain to put on/
take down every time, a ‘folding’ one would have been better.
Overall though it is very solid feeling, would definitely recommend
over some others I’ve seen.
This was a nightmare to put together took me and hubby over 2 hours the bungee cord was a killer!! Lovely trampoline though my 3 year old loves i
Our Grandaughter loved this (Age 4)……It has to be supervised though as frenetic jumping can cause slight tipping when holding the handle bar……
Loved the idea of flat folding to be able to tidy it away.
I’d recommend putting this on a rubber mat or carpet as it skitters across a hardwood floor when being bounced on. The bases of the legs don’t sit quite perfectly on a hardwood floor either. But as a product this is a good and sturdy trampoline and my 4 and 2 year olds love it.
This is a very good product and my neice and nephew love it but you need the patience of a saint and the strength of Popeye to put it together, what a nightmare it is!
Why oh why can’t they pre build the mat and frame rather than the all mighty struggle with the bungee cord that could easily bring a grown man to tears!
It will take two of you to put the base on and be prepared to lose both blood and skin. But when they clamber in and bounce away happily it is definitely worth it.
If you don’t buy anything else for your child – buy this!!! It has been used almost daily for a year and has remained in great condition. It helped our 22 month old learn to jump, and our 3 yr old expend lots of energy.
Found putting together a little tricky mainly securing the mat to the frame (took two of us and a bit of stretching) probably not helped by the fact my son was trying to jump on it at the same time.
But once set up once very easy to pack away and get out again to use can be folded down and tucked away quite easily very happy with it so is my so
We bought this as limited space so wanted something that would fold away easily. It’s a complete faff to fold away – the handle bar has to be screwed off and it’s really stiff to get on/off. The legs come off reasonably easy. The posts that the legs/handle go into are always sticking out so it needs to be stored somewhere that small people won’t catch themselves on i
Good product. Wouldnt describe as folding. Not the easiest to build up espcially tensioning the elastic to get it even all the way round, Definately a two person job.
Fantastic !! Our son has autism and loves to bounce. This trampoline has stood the test of time, 9 months and only now has the bunjie cord snapped, I’m impressed. Also I now only have to pay 8 pounds to replace that as the actual unit is still solid!! The folding system is excellent and words well if you live in limited space.
My only points of improvement if the manufacturer is interested, make the handle cover more ‘chew friendly’ for our autism heroes and include some easier to follow instructions for the looping of the chord, yes I’m thick! Maybe I could help? 😉
With regards to assembly – you WILL need two people and it is a bit of a nightmare. I ended up using cable ties to hold the rubbers in place against the frame whilst winding them around the legs to keep the main rubber ‘bouncing’ sheet in place and centred. Assembly aside, it’s a great little toy and has proved to be a prety robust and well made purchase.

A brilliant trampoline.. ideal for indoors good size but doesn’t take up too much room. Easily to put together. Made a good Christmas present for our son.
The trampoline, once set up, is brilliant. My two year old twin grand-daughters got the hang of jumping straight away and they love it!
It was easy to set up but doesn’t fold flat and the handle was a bit difficult to attach. (hence only four stars).
We were disappointed that delivery took much longer than expected.
Our little girl got this Galt Folding Trampoline for her 2nd Birthday, and it’s been the best present she got! She absolutely loves it! Bouncing along to her favourite tunes & tv shows. Legs fold under base & handle is easy to remove. Good sized area for bouncing on & nice height handle will make this last her at least another couple of years 🙂
Easy to store as legs and handle are removable. The bungee rope that you thread on the trampoline has come undone several times andis difficult to tie up. Definitely need two people in order to be able to pull the rope tight enough and tie it up.
It is sturdy and if the assembly instructions are followed then there is plenty of bounce!
Just a couple of things to note.
The instructions say that it is better if two people tension the bungee cord. We found it essential.
If you do not have a very strong grip then a pair of pliers to hold and help tension the cord may be useful. (it certainly helped us)
It is bigger than you think!
Clear the surrounding area as the hand rail is soon seen as an unnecassery device invented by adults!
Carefully check the welds as ours had a short but needle sharp shard coming from one corner.
Assemble in a soundproof room well away from the children. The bungee cord is blue for a reason!!!
Hope this is helpful. It is not meant to be off putting as it is a really good, sturdy trampoline hence the 5 stars

PLEASE TAKE NOTE on quickest way to install: After my failed attempt, I tired this approach and got it first time with ease. Use 2 people.
Step 1: Wear garden gloves to avoid rope burn and stretch bungee rope fully with one person on one end and the other person at the other end.
Step 2: one person hold the tension on the bungee rope as the other feeds through eyelet for each hole.
Step 3: ignore trying to get equal length between the mat and the frame. As you progress round the frame it sort of evens out when you pull to get the tension on the cord. Plus the cover hides it.
Step 4: watch your little version of yourself enjoy for countless hours.
The trampoline looks well made and the padding covering up the elastic helps stop feet sliding through the gaps. It has enough bounce to satisfy an energetic 6 year old and is reasonably priced. It has been used both indoors and outdoors and is equally good on both surfaces. I am happy to recommend this little trampoline.
This was bought for my grand daughters 2nd birthday she love it and calls it her bouncealine, plays with this quite a lot, and will develop her muscles in her legs and arms so it was a good buy keeps her amused.
Easy enough to assemble with 2 persons & some string / ties to secure corners (& a strong pair of arms!) until elastic “bungee” secured. Do feel the bungee cloth guard could be made thicker to provide a softer edge for the inevitable tumbles. Looking at size of box it came in, feel it could be supplied with base mat already assembled , otherwise pleased with purchase.
Great little trampoline for my 2 year old. He loves it! Putting together was relatively easy however the elastic rope was a little tough but understandably so. I really like the legs can collapse making it easier to bring from room to room and the handle easily comes on and off, Definitely recommend.
I dont personally understand the difficulty in putting this thing together.. I can only guess that everyone who struggled failed to read the instructions and lacked intelligence to follow the plait pattern which isnt even that hard (I am a man..).
My son jumps on this and loves it!
i’d recommend anyone to buy this, it took around 30 minutes for me to put together with my partner and we didnt even argue once.. or kill each other.
so buy if you want a decent indoor trampoline or outdoor one.
Arrived promptly in good packing. It was quite easy to put together – some of the instructions were a bit ambiguous but we got there in the end. The protective skirt that goes over the bungee cord is attached with velcro, but it comes off far too easily and is not a very good design. The mini trampoline is fun, though. The grandkids like it but it’s most popular with my German Shepherd, who regards it as her garden-bed.
Once assembled this little trampoline is a delight, but it would be very difficult to put it together without the aid of the Galt You-Tube video of instructions. My husband and I bought it for our grandchildren, and after constructing it we both reported the best night’s sleep we had had in ages. Sheer exhaustion!
This is a good product and has already been well used. The only thing that was not quite so good were the instructions that came with it as I think they could have been clearer. Although other reviews said that this was a problem to put together I managed it on my own.
This is great especially if you have a little one who has boundless energy…however watch it..my son would manage to make the back of the trampoline kick up & down when he jumped so I would have to hold onto the back when he’s on i
Good product, bit fiddly to assemble (definitely needed my strong boyfriend to wind the bungee rope tight enough) but a good size for a toddler. Unfortunately ours came minus a bolt for the handle, but as we’d already assembled it we couldn’t/didn’t return it. Nice of Amazon to refund 20% though.
Easy to assemble but care needed to thread and attach the bed to ensure the correct tension. A good size, in fact bigger than expected. Skirt covers the springs but gapes a bit so care needs to be taken so that the little ones don’t catch their feet in it. Perfect for our granddaughter although she is only 2. She loves i
Got this for my 2 year olds Birthday – it is a little bit of effort to put up but the end result is a sturdy good trampoline. The little one loves it and bounces away happily. The folding legs make for easy storage (not that we have put it away yet as its always in use!)
One of my best buys. I bought this on a recommendation from my son’s Occupational Therapist. It arrived quickly and was easy enough to put together (the manual says 2 people are needed but I did it alone and the cord is well secured). My 2 kids have been using it every day since we got it, it’s brilliant to release the tension. It folds flat and can fit under a bed or behind a wardrobe, so ideal for small-ish spaces
Good quality. Talkes a little while to assemble but quite easy to do. Folds flat quite easily but is fairly stable in use. Was a little disappointed with the rather thin padding that covers the elastic and frame but it would stop little legs falling though the gaps. Overall, a very good product.
Finally, after scanning the internet, and a couple of poor purchases that’s I’ve had to return, I’ve found a trampoline that folds down flat so I can out it away at the end of the day. I have a toddler that loves to bounce, this certainly gives him the freedom to have a good bounce till his hearts content. I can’t fault this product whatsoever as it’s just what I’ve been looking for. Solid, sturdy, good sized bounce area, folds down completely flat.
Took two of us to thread the elastic – although my husband would probably have done it just as well without me… We have taken the legs down occasionally to move it from room to room a bit easier. My 2 year old loves it and it seems very stable.
Bought this for my grand daughters 2nd Birthday. She tried to help us put it together! When it was built she was in her element jumping up and down, absolutely loves it. Then when she got tired she got her blanket climbed on it laid down and went to sleep 🙂 now that’s a pretty perfect present.
I looked at loads of reviews and lots of people stated that these were not easy to put together and that they were unstable.
My experience is very different:
The trampoline was pretty straightforward to put together – it was a two person job to stretch the bungy cord around – but it wasn’t at all difficult. It is very worthwhile to take a little time to make sure all the parts line up, but once assembled the trampoline is first class.
My two year old daughter loves it, and so far 3 months after purchase I have no complaints and it’s used indoors every day.
The ‘skirt’ around the top stays in place and the the legs do fold away for storing the unit away. I would agree that if my daughter does huge jumps on it then the trampoline does move a little – but for the size of the thing I wouldn’t expect anything else.
All in all an excellent bit of kit.

It took me and my wife around 30 minutes to put together. One reviewer’s comments really helped me here – the person who said to tie the four corners of the canvas in place before starting to thread the bungee rope. I’m sure that’s why we didn’t have as much trouble as others have and I recommend doing that first.
The kids love the trampoline and it’s great indoors and out (although I wouldn’t leave it outside overnight). Well worth it.
Our grandson loves this but if we had read the reviews first we would definitely have had it sent straight to his parents and let them assemble it. Why don’t the manufacturers include temporary corner cable ties as one reviewer suggested so that it is held in place whilst lacing. We were so glad that we hadn’t presented it unassembled and tried to put it up with excited child shrieking in the background.
So to summarise – a great toy once assembled!
This is a lovely trampoline but needs 2/3 adults to put it together when first assembled!!! The bungee cord takes a lot of pulling to get it to fit the mat in the middle. Once put together its a great trampoline and bigger than I expected.
Nice trampoline my son enjoys jumping on it. The only minuses is about quality: it was a real hassle to fit that elastic string round the frame and one of the screws that was suppose to be holding the handle didn’t match to the hole
My 2yr old son has been using the trampoline with great enthusiasm. So much so that he fell asleep after particularly vigorous bouncing and stayed asleep while he was carried upstairs, changed and put in his cot. We then slept for 12 hours.
Wish he did that all the time!
Do see the other review, however, about using lengths of string to position the mat in the correct place before attempting to attach the bungee cord to the mat and frame. You definitely need the string so that, as you feed the bungee around, the mat doesn’t get pulled to one side or another. It is a great tip and saved us – you do need 2 people to assemble it easily – a load of time and hassle.
I bought this trampoline for my son’s second birthday. I chose it cause it seemed bigger that the others offered by amazon. Also our neighbours had one and i knew exactly what quality was. It stays out in the garden thou some friends have told me that they use it indoors. My son loves it. Whenever he’s out in the garden he goes to bounce.
It was easy to put it together. I would definitely recommend this.
They have one at nursery and she uses it there, loved it the minute it was uncovered (no, I didn’t wrap it, just threw sheet over it!) she knows to use the handle all the time, and even has enough space for her and 3 1/2 year old sister to jump. I put it together myself, bit of of a hassle getting tension right on elastic, but sorted it in the end. Folds to fit under our sofa too, so bonus there, not that it’s been out of daily use since she got it.
Bought this due to good reviews published by other people. Well designed and robust trampoline.
Not as hard to construct as many others have said although it take two of us to construct it in about 1 hour whilst the kids waited to jump on it – therefore build first if giving as a present.
Best used indoors but we have forgetfully left it outside in the rain and all materials were fine.
The only minor issue is that to fold it up you have to remove the balance bar via some screws and then store this. The legs fold into the body but the balance bar needs to stored separately or strapped somehow to the folded trampoline.
All in all a good product and the kids love it.
Very active son and with this ‘gorgeous’ weather we’re having it’s been a lifesaver. He’s 2 years old and has used this every day for the past 2 months. Would definitely recommend it, but it does take two people to put it together properly.
Perhaps the design/specifications of this trampoline have been modified, as we didn’t find the lacing of the bungee cord too difficult. On our first attempt we pulled the cord as tightly as we could (as advised in many reviews). We found there was too much cord left to tie, so redid it. This time, using very little tension, it was successful.
A useful tip is to mark the cord, dividing it into quarters, so you can monitor your progress as you thread – to check the tension. We used previous advice in J Clout’s review to tie the trampoline in the corners to position it correctly. Thanks Jace, it was a great help.
Our grandson was so excited & pleased with his present, Mum & Dad were happy too, as he won’t be bouncing on the sofa anymore!
The 3 year old who received it has fun jumping on it and crawling under the bar. His Mum loved assembling it too.
The reasons that I gave it 5 stars:
* sturdy,
* quick to set up (less than 1 hr with no tools required) and simple to disassemble though i think it will be around for a long time,
* looks great,
*perfect for an active little boy to use both in and outdoors,
*good for when mum and dad don’t have time to take him out, and
* fun and healthy for him and fun to watch – I count how many jumps he can do.
It was delivered quickly, though the packaging was bulky and it appeared larger than the description. His parents were initially concerned with the size before we took it out. Two small kids can play on it too. I’m thrilled with this and it was the perfect gift. I want an adult one for myself now!
I really like the design of this trampoline, with the detachable handle and folding legs. It makes it very convenient for storage. The previous one I had was a fixed frame and was quite awkward to store. I also like the cover for the bungee – again an improvement on the previous one. The reason I have only given 4 stars is that it does seem a little wobbly on one of the legs.
I was looking to replace our old broken trampoline, and as this one is similar (and was on sale!) decided to buy it.
It was a present for my 3 year old daughter, but in my view can be used by younger children, my other daughter who is 5 1/2 also uses it quite comfortably.
My husband put it together and said it was quite straight forward to assemble (no swearing!!). I think the folding part is the handle, which looks like you unscrew it for that to hapen, could be usefull for storage.
My big disappointment was when it arrived, in a box with a large picture on the front, therefore showing my daughter what it was (and yes it was a birthday present!!)
I was almost put off buying this trampoline based on the reviews. I’m glad I wasn’t! It took two of us around 30 minutes to put the whole thing together. Stringing the elastic was a bit fiddly, but not as arduous as some people seem to have found it.
Four stars as the finished item does feel a bit wobbly, especially around the legs and the handle. Our litte girl loves it though!
Bought this for my asd child and he loves it, he learned to say high on it as he can jump so high and use up lots of energy on this robust trampoline. It is well made and has many uses he uses it to lie on to relax I love the fact that it is good up until the age of eight my son has used it every day! Highly recommended! A great investment!
We bought this trampoline for our grandson’s second birthday, I made my choice based on the good name of Galt Toys and the other reviews. Living in France it can be quite difficult buying birthday presents. The supplier was very good, the trampoline was delivered in plenty of time for his birthday. We have seen a video of him enjoying bouncing on the trampoline so its been a great success. At the moment, the weather being what it is he is enjoying it inside but it seems robust enough for being used outside come the summer! My son said it wasn’t too difficult to assemble, despite some of the excellent reviews to the contrary! They are also able to fold it away when not in use without too much difficulty. I would happily buy another one for our grand-daughter come June.
Well constructed, totally safe and brightly colourful giving hours of good fun exercise.
When assembling it follow the instructions to the letter and with a very strong pair of hands or better still an assistant it will be ready for use in about 15 mns.
A strong well made toy.
It’s very hard to assemble it, especially to stretch the cord, but it’s worth it. My older son has spent many hours playing with it and now it’s time for my younger one. I already have it for more than two years without signs of wear except of the foam in the handle bar, but that is not a fault of the product. My younger son tests every new tooth on it. I have to add that both my kids are lightweight though.
Oh how my children LOVE this. The hours they spend bouncing on it, on their own, in tandem, holding on, letting go, jumping off it. It has been more than worth the money. Only small problem I’ve found is that even when really tightened the bolts have a tendency to work loose over time and so need regular attention or lots of observation to make sure one doesn’t work its way out.
This is a very nice toy! Both my girls (4 and 2 years old) have been enjoying it almost daily. It was not that difficult to assemble (it does require however two people). The only problem with this toy is that it is not very stable. You might need to place it against a wall or something (I have placed it against the back of our living room sofa). Overall we are very pleased with this purchase.
Bought for a 3 year old bouncer. She LOVES it! Even and 8 month old seemed to enjoy being bounced on it. Fits together well, sturdy bit of kit as you’d expect from Galt. There was a piece missing to ours but we managed to improvise until we got a replacement, and therein lies another tale. Whilst the service from Galt was fantastic it seems a bit excessive to return the whole item for a new one, when all we needed was a replacement bracket that held one side of the handle together. Overall, very pleased.
Well I ordered this trampoline for my sons second birthday.It arrived on the day which was very quick delivery as usual from amazon.It was simple to put together Is a fair size, strong and doesnt slide on my wooden floor, Just a shame my son still prefers to bounce on my bed:)All in all a good safe trampoline,costs a little more but seems to be worth it!
This trampoline is excellent our 2 year old granddaughter. Even though during some of our recent visit she had a cold, she still though this was her best Christmas present. Grandpa found it hard work to assemble the elastic bungee cord as it need to be very tight but its worth the effort.
Assembly isn’t as hard as some reviews suggest. If you do as the instructions say and read the leaflet before starting it’s easy. If like us, and most folk, you don’t, watch out to get the 2 uprights for the handles in the right position. And it’s trial and error to work out which end of the knot in the picture is the long end and which the short. Otherwise a good bonding exercise for grandparents and a sense of achievement!
My 3 year old has been asking for a trampoline for a few months so we duly obliged for his birthday. He was delighted when he saw it & has had lots of fun jumping about. It tires him out quickly so he spends quite a bit of time lying & sitting on it. Easy to store as legs fold away easily & handle is removeable. It was a bit difficult to put together & I would say it needs 2 people to thread the cord whilst keeping it tight. The tip from one of the other reviewers about initially attaching the bounce mat to the 4 corners of the frame with cable ties really helped keep the mat in the right position whilst threading the cord. I can’t really speak for the durability as we’ve only had the item for a few weeks but it looks and feels sturdy. In particular, the bounce mat is made from quite thick material & appears to be much better quality than the bounce mats found on other trampolines on the high street. Nice bright colours as well.

Trampoline easier to erect than other reviews say. Managed by myself. Original one sent, had a fault in the weave of the net but Galt were excellent in sending another one. Reinforced my idea that this is a reliable and respectable company. Legs have stretchy cord and can be pulled out of the frame whilst still being attached. Easily fitted back in. Good product.
Others have complained about the difficulty of assembly: it is actually quite straightforward to put together (allow 30m) and the only problem for a single person was the last stage of feeding and tying the rubber rope that holds the bouncing surface in place: this needs 2 pairs of hands
When the trampoline arrived it required some basic assembly, as we had to attach the mat to the frame using the bungee provided. The easiest way to do this was to tie the four corners of the mat to the frame using some strong cord or rope, and then thread the bungee through the holes (as advised by another reviewer on this site). Once the bungee was securely in place, we removed the rope, and hey presto! All we then had to do was to fit the handle and attach the cover, and the trampoline was ready for use.
Needless to say, our daughter has had great fun bouncing on her new toy. We’ve had it for about two months now and it’s bearing up nicely, although I’d say she’s a relatively gentle user and we don’t have it out every day. With all the rain we’ve had this summer, it’s been great to be able to offer her some energetic activity within the home. Ten minutes or so before bedtime usually guarantees a good night’s sleep, which keeps us all happy!
Thie review refers to the ‘Galt Toys Folding Trampoline’.
Bought this for my 2 year old daughter and she loves it. A little fiddly to put up but nowhere near as bad as I was expecting from the previous reviews. Once up very durable and lots of fun though the foam handle is a little susceptible to being bitten by little mouths.
I brought this for my 2 Year olds birthday, and she loves it, cant get her of it. it folds down very easily so you can move it from garden to inside and also store it away when not in use. dont think it will never not be used though. I found it very good vaule for the price. it is very sturdy and strong. I found it very easy to put together but you do need 2 people so they can hold it while the other one pulls it tight. overall, if your looking for a trampoline, this is the one to buy.
I got this item for xmas for my little girl after reading the wealth of reviews on here.
It arrived promptly and my partner and I sat down on xmas eve with a glass of wine each, the instructions and a pair of heavy duty workmans gloves each. It took us less than an hour to put up, and thanks to the gloves neither of us had any blisters or lost any fingernails! We found that threading the bungee, then one person holding it while the other increased the tension and used the extra rope gained to thread the last eyelets worked to keep the mat in place, but you will need two people.
The little one loves it 🙂
We bought this particular trampoline for our 2 year old as it has the cover over the springs. it was easy to assemble with the clever use of some cable ties to hold the mesh in place whilst stringing the spring round. The war cry of ‘Bounce bounce bounce’ is heard many times a day as it is enthusiastically jumped on – a brilliant product! It lost one star, however, as it does tend to shift slightly when bounced on too close to the edges which is a bit of a worry but as long as fully supervised this is not an issue.
I didn’t find it as hard to put together as other reviews led me to believe. There were 2 of us though which made it easier as one could hold the bungy cord tight while the other put it through the fixing thingy. We gave the bungy cord a good stretch before we started. We also didn’t worry too much about getting the bouncy mat centred on the frame as the edges are all covered and it doesn’t seem to affect the use of the trampoline.
We did discover that we had the leg pieces the wrong way round once we finished assembling it (so that the handle wouldn’t go on). So we had to take it apart and start again. I’d therefore advise paying close attention to the instructions.
All in all very happy with this trampoline.
Once assembled, it’s great. The minimum age is specified as 3 years but my two year old daughter has had no problems using it and can jump very well on it even though she doesn’t jump off the ground at all normally yet. My four year old son also loves it and they both enjoy sitting/lying on it too when they’re less energetic.
As my wife’s mother said, “should have bought one ages ago!”
Really easy to build the frame but the cord is as everyone says a nightmare to pull though. I tied the cord directly to the frame with a good bit left over and just threaded away, then went back to the start ans pulled it tighter and tighter, leave equaling the distance untill after. Once it was time to tie it off that was the hardest part, you have to work the two ends of cord tighter and tighter so you have enough room to tie it to the toggle, then you can let it go and even it out. I built this myself in about 40 mins, by myself, I did however blister my hands faily badly. I recomend giving the cord a good streach by standing on it and pulling before you even think of threading it around
Someone mentioned the handle holes not matching up, I found this also but then realsied I was trying to build it wrong way, the black hand screws should be at the bottem on the handle near to the mat. The double hole brackets go nearer the top of the handle.
