What is the best trampoline for kids?

Question

I have an 11 yr old daughter and she is soo lonely...everybody has "something".....a pool, a brother or sister. We were thinking a trampoline might be a lot of fun and give friends a reason to come by and visit....I don't let her run around like a lot of other kids can.

Answer 1

The American Academy of Pediatrics has declared those things to be dangerous and the #1 toy hazzard for kids.  DO some research and AT LEAST get a net!

Answer 2

NO trampoline!! My chiropractor told me that he stays in business because of trampoline injuries.  

My parents bought a trampoline for my brother and I when we were younger and it was fun, but so dangerous!! My parents are safety nuts, and we had padding for our trampoline, rules on how many people could get on and what objects were allowed on, and yet we ended up throwing the trampoline away because it caused so many injuries.    

Find a safer toy for her to use, whether it is physical, like a volleyball net, or mental, such as a dollhouse (imagination) or a puzzle.  Also, letting her out more would help with that lonely feeling.  She's a kid - keep an eye out for her but let her have some safe fun.

Answer 3

get a trampoline with a net around it

Answer 4

The one at another kids house. They are dangerous even with a net

Answer 5

No trampoline is best. Any device that sends your kids rocketing into the air is an accident waiting to happen.

Answer 6

ones with nets that are shaped like rectagles kids enjoy those the best
