Galt Folding Trampoline

This is the most common choice of physical and occupational therapists, because it’s relatively compact (about 2.5 feet wide square bouncing surface), sturdy, folds flat for storage, and kids can’t jump too high on its relatively rigid bouncing surface. It’s also fairly reliable, and the company is decently responsive when something happens. What will happen? Most likely, the bungee cord holding the jumping surface to the frame will break after about 8-12 months.

This is not unique to the Galt, it also happens with other bungee-based trampolines (like the old One Step Ahead ones). That’s why they sell replacement bungee cords online! Of course, we wouldn’t suggest trying to replace the bungee cord yourself: we tried it and got so frustrated after a couple of hours that we completely gave up. Also, just like with the trampolines above, we found that it has a tendency for the rear legs to lift off the ground during aggressive jumping.

You will notice that it is somewhat plain looking, and smaller, but it’s a good utilitarian trampoline option. Weight limit is 77 pounds. The bungee cord issue is the primary weakness of this trampoline, though it does come in at a good price point, usually about $50.

Best Trampoline for Kids and Baby

Image
Over the past few years we have tested over two dozen different trampolines. Some designed for toddlers ages 2-3 or so, and others designed for bigger kids aged 4-7 or so. There are also much larger ones for bigger kids aged 8+ and we include one of those in the list below, simply because we’ve had such great experiences with it. We focus primarily on toddler trampolines and “big kid” trampolines: The toddler trampolines usually are smaller, provide less of an elevated bounce, and have an attached handlebar with padding to ease kids into learning how to bounce on their own. These are very low to the ground (usually 4-6″), usually have a weight capacity under 80 pounds, and use either springs or bungee cords to hold the jumping surface onto the frame. Our boys have never fallen off one of these (knock on wood!), even in the beginning, and they are not the most coordinated boys in the world! But they have succeeded in bouncing the trampoline into oblivion and breaking t...

Nikon Z 6

Image
Nikon is new to the full frame mirrorless category, and while the Nikon Z 6 may not be quite as refined as Sony’s third generation, the new camera still packs a powerful punch. The Z 6 uses a 24.5-megapixel full frame sensor that captures excellent images. DxOMark ranks it right below the Sony a7 III by a single point. The camera body also has stabilization built-in. This can help in those low light shots if the baby isn’t moving around. As part of Nikon’s new mirrorless series, the Z 6 has access to a lot of existing Nikon lenses using an adapter. This could be reason enough to choose the Z 6 for photographers that already own some Nikkor glass. Like most mirrorless cameras, there’s a silent electronic shutter for when being quiet matters. And the Z 6 is even faster than the a7 III with a 12 fps, though that’s in an extended mode with a few limitations. The Z 6 is lighter than Nikon’s DSLRs, though not by a lot if you use a heavier Z lens or once you add t...
