The Original Toy Company Trampoline

This trampoline has a cute blue/yellow/red color pattern and is basically tied for first place with the Bazoongi, you can’t really go wrong with either of them. It folds up into a really compact footprint that can fit in a small closet or trunk, which is a big plus. Sometimes it’s nice to put these things away for a month or two, then take back out for renewed interest! It has no metal springs, instead using a series of heavy duty elastic straps, which are excellent.

While bungee cord attachments tend to break after 8-12 months of heavy use, these elastric straps have proven themselves far superior, lasting for several years. We also thought this was one of the easiest trampolines to unfold and set up in our test living room, and liked that it used 6 instead of 4 legs to increase stability and safety. It also felt very sturdy and well built. This 36″ diameter trampoline also has the highest weight limit we could find, coming in at 150 pounds (!) so even mom might be able to have some fun!

Now for the fun parts: it has a nice wide bouncing surface, has a great bouncy elastic to the trampoline itself while still being firm enough to prevent kids from jumping too high, and a padded upper handlebar. This trampoline ended up #1 on our list for four primary reasons: first, it uses the elastic straps rather than the unreliable bungee cord, second it has a very high weight limit, third because it feels very sturdy with its 6 leg design, and finally it is super easy to assemble (took about 10 minutes).

The only downfall, like some others, is that once your kid gets heavier they might put more weight on the handlebar and make the back of the trampoline lift off the ground during jumping. While we highly doubt it would ever actually tip over, once your kid gets a bit bigger (60+ pounds) you might want to consider putting a little weight on the back legs (like a dumbell or bag of sand/rocks).
