Best Trampoline for Kids and Baby

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 the bungee support cords, and we will talk about this issue when we review individual units. The toddler versions, because of their smaller size, are perfect for a play room, basement, or living room. Usually used indoors given their size, and just like one of the best play kitchens they are really a play room essential!

The “big kid” trampoline includes safety netting (attached to the inside of the springs), a slightly larger and more elastic/bouncy jumping surface, and is a bit higher off the ground. These usually have a weight capacity between 100-120 pounds, and kids can jump quite a bit higher than on a toddler trampoline. They are a good option before stepping up to a larger and more dangerous trampoline that allows kids to bounce too high for their own good (and your and your insurance company’s sanity). They are also still small enough to fit inside if you have a good space with high ceilings. As trampolines get larger than these (usually around a 7-foot diameter max), they are too big for in the house and are left outside all year round.

Another note is that while your kid is using an outdoor trampoline, be sure to put on some kids mosquito repellent and sunscreen for kids, to keep things fun, safe, and comfortable!
