kids and trampolines

Depending on the ages of your kids a safety enclosure may NOT be the best idea.... That said though, my kids have been bouncing around on trampolines for a few yrs now (their cousins which ended up being given to us when she got a larger one LOL).. Now if your kids are REALLY little then I think they would be fine WITH ADULT SUPERVISION of course and VERY strict, set rules about the use of the trampoline....

I think they are dangerous, but they are also a great way for kids to get rid of energy :) If they are active they're just as likely to get into something more dangerous. If you get one, make sure it has the safety net. I think buying a good quality one with safety features is perfectly ok.

We don't have a trampoline for our daughter but we will get her one - you just need to make sure you get one of the new fancy ones :) They come with the safety nets & they also have springs on the sides, not around the top like they used to - that way there are no springs to get caught up in while jumping. These are a little dearer but much safer - then you have a rule of 1 child on the trampoline at a time & they should be just fine. I grew up with a trampoline as well & apart from a few bumps after colliding with my siblings or us being silly, the whole thing was fine! I guess it depends on your kids ages as well. I'm sure if you got your kids a trampoline they'd be fine - maybe you could get your hubby to be the supervisor - then he could see what goes on in there for himself.
