The 9 Best Trampolines for Bouncy Fun
The 9 Best Trampolines for Bouncy Fun
We all need to get more exercise, but talking kids into putting down their screens in favor of a brisk walk is a big ask. Backyard trampolines take the chore out of exercise for everyone, and the fact that they are easily accessible and universally fun for all makes them more likely to be regularly used. Every trampoline we selected was carefully vetted with children’s fun and safety in mind. We also took into consideration trampolines based on brand warranties and customer service. We researched trampolines that were rated highly by users and met safety standards. Finally, we picked a range of prices and styles—and many are suitable for inside if that’s a better fit for your space.
1) Super Jumper AirBound Round Trampoline

This 10-foot trampoline is suitable for kids 3 and up, and is safe for adults, too. The net enclosure is 6 feet high, which makes it great for the older high-jumpers in your crew. The trampoline is also UV-resistant and rust-resistant. The only con is the weight limit, which seems very low for its size: 198 pounds.
2) Skywalker Trampolines Mini Trampoline

This is one of the safest trampolines on the market and it comes with a three-year limited warranty. The 40-inch-wide round trampoline comes with a patented enclosure that protects kiddos from pinching their skin at openings. The 360-degree padded handle bar helps stabilize the smallest customers as they jump.
The trampoline also features stretch bands instead of springs to protect jumpers’ joints. These trampolines are designed for inside use, though, so if you’re dreaming of a backyard jump space, move on.
3) Giantex Outdoor Combo-Jump Trampoline

This trampoline wouldn’t look out of place at a circus. It comes in multiple sizes, from 8 feet to 16 feet, with ladders starting at the 10-foot size. This is an outdoor-only trampoline, with a safety enclosure net that connects to the spring cover. The special enclosure system is designed to eliminate gaps and ensure safety.
A steel frame and jumping mat are included. The largest size has a weight limit of 330 pounds, which seems a little low for the size.
4) Giantex Mini Outdoor Trampoline

This 7-foot trampoline is a great outside jumper for children on the younger side. It is built low to the ground, which makes it ideal for shorter legs (kids ages 6 and under for this one), and is much roomier than most trampolines designed for younger children. The trampoline also has padded poles and a zippered closure on the safety net, making it even safer.
Built from galvanized steel with a reinforced triangular base, the trampoline will withstand rust and stand up to enthusiastic, repeated use. Maximum weight is 220 pounds.
We love the colorful, kid friendly design and the range of bright colors: blue, yellow or green. This would make a perfect gift for an active young child (or two or three).
5) HearthSong Mini Trampoline for 2

This trampoline is built for two jumpers, and its unique oval shape and size (56 by 35 inches) gives kiddos just enough space to jump face to face. It also features a padded handlebar that is adjustable in height, from 24.5 inches to 35 inches.
What we love most about this trampoline is that it is transportable, and works indoors and outdoors. For energetic young kiddos, this kind of activity center is great to have on hand, indoors and outdoors; and at just 29 pounds, it’s easy to move.
6) Mikat Panda Kids Trampoline

For families with budding design enthusiasts, this trampoline’s design will definitely win their hearts. This 5-foot trampoline works inside and outside. The frame is made of thickened galvanized steel, and the U-shaped base is reinforced to give it extra stability and strength, and prevent tipping.
The trampoline’s base is low to the ground, with an Oxford cloth wrap-around made to look like bamboo forest. The protective netting resembles a serene-looking panda, with cute little black ears that stick out. Perfect for children 3-6 years in age.
7) Lovely Snail Mini Trampoline with Hoop

The only thing better than a trampoline, is a trampoline with a built-in basketball hoop. This five-foot jumper is built with six thick foam-padded poles and a zippered net enclosure for ultimate safety and bouncing fun. The trampoline is also waterproof and UV-resistant, with a stable structure equipped with W-shaped legs for extra support. The basketball hoop adds to the fun, making this a wonderful option for young families with active kids. Reviewers rave about the quality and customer service.
8) Merax Trampoline With Basketball Hoop

This 15-foot trampoline could double as gym class for a large family of active kids. The trampoline features 6-foot high enclosures with galvanized rust-resistant steel frames and six W-shaped legs for maximum stability. The jumping fun gets kicked up a notch with a built-in basketball hoop designed to keep the ball from bouncing out of the enclosure. The trampoline comes with a four-step ladder. This trampoline is serious fun, but best suited for kids 8 years old and up.

If you have aspiring Olympic gymnasts in your family, this professional-grade rectangular trampoline will fit the bill. The 10-foot by 20-foot frame is commercial grade, double-dipped galvanized steel inside and out to combat rust and corrosion. It was built specifically with competitive jumpers or gymnasts in mind.
Considering the hefty price tag, it makes sense that the trampoline comes with a lifetime warranty. This trampoline—for current or would-be gymnasts—definitely will bring home the gold.
