Video: Choosing the Right Trampoline

Hi my name's Vanessa Stratton from Kids Corner based just outside of Chester and on behalf of Safekids.co.uk we're going to advise you on how to buy the correct trampoline for your family and yourself.

There are various sizes of trampolines on the market and we have on display the ten foot twelve foot and fourteen foot sizes. There are many different makes of trampolines on the market. We only deal with the best quality trampolines for the simple reasons if you are buying something for your child’s safety you want quality.

When purchasing your trampoline for your family I would advise that you buy a good quality trampoline with guarantees to back it behind.

Charlie's bouncing on the ten foot trampoline now this is the only ten foot trampoline on the market that is low to the ground which is great if you have small children and also the ten foot size is obviously very useful if you have a small garden or you are limited with space.

The twelve foot size trampoline which is this one here is the trampoline with the best bounce. The bigger the trampoline the slower the bounce. So the twelve foot trampoline is the best bounce trampoline on the market.

The fourteen foot trampoline is a big trampoline and you do have to have a big garden. There's no point in having a trampoline that swamps the whole of your garden and you can't do any other activities in your garden.

The issue of multiple uses on a trampoline is quite contentious. If you have brought a decent quality round trampoline there is no reason why they cannot be used for multiple uses. For example Sam and Charlie are bouncing on an Active trampoline with a maximum single user weight of eighteen stone and Supertramp does advocate multiple uses on good round solid trampolines.

Again Sam and Charlie are on the trampoline together on a fourteen foot Axcel trampoline. The reason why the Axcel trampoline is the most expensive trampoline on the market is the fact that its quality is second to none. The springs are galvanised which gives the extra security of the bounce and the padding is coated in a smooth finish which is thirty millimetres thick.
