They'll jump for joy - but you won't, 6 Sept. 2008

First things first: my two and a half year old loves this trampoline. It made him giggle with delight from the first moment he climbed on it. Once constructed, it is durable, a good size and well balanced. 'Folding' is a slight misnomer: the feet do fold, but you actually have to unscrew and remove the handle if you want to put the whole thing away.

But as you watch your child's happy face you will have to try and forget the trauma that was the self-assembly process. I'm not quite sure why the actual trampoline section of this toy has to be self-assembly. It's much like buying a tennis racket and having to string it yourself. And about as much fun.

In essence the task before you will be this: take one bungy cord, and, using brute force, stretch it to double its natural length in order to lace it between the eyelets in the metal base and eyelets in the trampoline mat.

Excellent toy for active kids, 3 Jan. 2006

We had searched for a trampoline for under 3s but all said 3+. We bought this anyway for our 18 month old who loves bouncing (even on hard floors given 1/2 a chance!) and its fine. The under 36 months refers to the screws which undo to remove the handle - we don't intend to give them to him to play with. Our 4 year old also loves this trampoline and it is very easy to dismantle and reassemble , although to date we haven't been able to dismantle as its been in use for 10 solid days since Christmas. A great way to keep square eyes fit too as ours will bounce during TV time!
