Warning!
Do not buy this trampoline. I got it for my 12th birthday. I thought that the bands would go just as high as the springs, but they did not come close. It was really fun at first, but then it started breaking down, and I only weigh 100 lbs. The welded metal that holds the legs to the trampoline breaks, and you have to buy replacements at Variflex.com for ridiculous prices. Also the parts take about two months to come. Do not buy this product. I recommend a Jumpking.

Buy the kinds with springs!
This one lost is bounce within the first year. By the way, my children weigh a combined total of 120 lbs. After calling, emailing, and writing, I have found that there are no replacement parts for it (unlike the kind with the springs). I think that $563.00 (by the time I bought the cover and the enclosure) is too much to spend for one year of use. I know find myself looking to buy a whole new trampoline. Disappointed

need new one
I would say a spring one is much better... I think most people who have this don't really use spring ones alot. If you have tryed both go with what you like better. If you haven't tryed both go with spring. for all who are worried that straps are safer, just get a larger spring cover than needed, like the jumpking one. I always take springs over strap. Many kids like me prefer doing flips, spring is safer for flips because you get higher, which makes them easier to do. With a low height, you would have a better chance of messing up. I am a diver, so i have good control in the air, but many kids dont, so i recommend a jump guard. You dont buy a trampoline for safety though, you buy the one with the best bounce. more bounce means more fun so just get the highest bouncing one. i hope this helped you're decision.

Great for the elders and the youngsters!!!
I love it baby! :-) It is good for my grandma. She hurt her quad. For theripy they told her to jump. She jump on my trampoline and her boo boo got better!!! I sing in the shower as I watch my kids jump off the trampoline! I see them through a window in my shower! I enjoy watching my kids jump!!
Thank You Variflex!! You rowdy howdy folks are an apple flavored Life Saver. Apple is my favorite flavor

NOT THAT GREAT!
IT ISN'T VERY BOUNCY AS THE ONES WITH SPRINGS. CAN'T GET ENOUGH AIR. AND IT LOOKS TERRIBLE GOING INTO YOUR 2ND YEAR BECAUSE THE PAD AROUND IT DETIRIERATES, AND YOU CANT BUY A NEW ONE BECAUSE THEY'VE SEWN IT ON SO, BASICLY YOU HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW TRAMPOLINE. THAT CAN GET EXPENSIVE. ... Read more

5 stars is yes!
this toy is one of the best my mom have ever bought me thanks!

Birthday Present
I got my trampoline for my 12th birthday and I was really excited. Though, as soon as I jumped on it, it wasn't bouncy at all! I am not very happy with this trampoline, and i don't reccomend that you buy it!

Don't wait....buy it!!
My granddaughter spent the first 8 years of her life without a trampoline because her parents were afraid she would "hurt herself" if she had one. I bought this one for her and my 4 year old grandson for several reasons...it was not high off the ground (thus taking away the fear of injury); they can move it around by themselves; it was recommended by a friend; and the price. The kids were thrilled and have used it daily. It's great exercise...the other children in the neighborhood love to play on it....it teaches them to take turns (there's not enough room on it for more than 3 small kids at a time). It's just a lot of fun for them.

Durability has been great, just the right size - not big and bulky.

Is it my tampoline or is it just THIS trampoline?
I bought this exact one maybe a year ago. About 2 months later it just collapses. Set up is not the onlt thing that is hard, actully trying to get a high jump is VERY difficult. This is a little kids toy but most little kids don't just like baby bounces do they? I would not recommend this trampoline to ANYBODY!

Best backyard toy ever!
We have a slightly sloped yard so I was hesitant about getting a trampoline. We tried it, and it works fine! My kids love it! Of course, like any other toy, they take it in spells but it still gets used alot after 6 months. I was also concerned at first about them falling off of it. I almost bought the enclosure to go with it but I decided to wait and see how high they jumped, etc. This trampoline is so small, they really can't get a lot of "air" so they don't do flips and other dangerous tricks. It's also very low to the ground. I am glad now that I didn't get the enclosure. We don't really need it. I would recommend this trampoline for younger kids. The weight limit is 120 lbs so it can't support larger kids. Also, since it is so small, we only let our two preschoolers jump together. When we have guests over, it's one at a time. I love it that my kids want to be outside so much. This is better money spent than on video games, in my opinion! ... Read more

GREAT INSIDE OR OUTSIDE TOY
I bought this toy for my 3 year old and she loves it. We have been using it for over 2 months now and so far have not had to make any repairs. When we use this outside we do set it up on a piece of carpet to help protect the bottom. We also fill it up with all our "ball pit balls" when we bring it inside. My little girl has a blast bouncing and jumping in it with all those balls. The only thing I would tell parents to watch out for is that the sides are not as tall as they look in the picture. It is very easy for toddlers to fall/roll out of this. I have also had the problem of her wanting to sit on the edge - like she can with her inflatable swimming pool. Only since this is not weighted down it is easy to tip over. I would only use this on carpet or in the yard and only with parental supervision - but her and her friends to have a great time in this and it was well worth the money.

not as bouncy as it appears
We thought this would be a great alternative to getting an outdoor trampoline, since it would be safer. And we thought our kids would love it since they often want to jump on the bed. But this product is not as bouncy as it appears. My kids mainly arranged their stuffed animals in it and laid in it with them. After a few weeks it began to deflate. We patched it at the seam, but it still gradually loses air. It's been a disappointment and has been discarded.

Kids loved it!!!
My kids received this as a gift when they were 4 & 2. They absolutly loved it. We set it up in the living room for a while and they jumped in it for a week. WE had 4 kids at a time bouncing around in it. When the weather was warmer we used it outside. We kept it upside down when not using it, so it wouldn't collect water. after 1yr the bottom chamber had a leak, kids still jumped in it, we also put it in the pool and used it at as a big float. All the kids loved it but after 2.5 years it was completely worn out. will probably get a new one.

Fun but didn't last
My 2 year old loved this toy for the two months that it lasted. After limited indoor only use it started coming apart at the seams. Two 1/2 inch holes appeared in the floor seam and no amount or type of patching has improved the situation.

Great while it lasted, WATER problems if outside
We bought this for our 2 sons, ages 2 and 4, and it was a huge hit with all of us at first! It's pretty durable and keeps the kids safe, supervised, of course! But it's not easy to inflate or deflate, so we left it outside for a while, and after it rained a couple of times the bottom filled with water, and there is absolutely NO way to get it out! We thought there should be a plug for this reason, and with the water in there the unit expanded, pushing the floor up far enough that we couldn't let the kids use it safely. We used it until we had to get rid of it by cutting it up. I guess if you're going to use it indoors, or take it down EVERY time you use it outdoors, it's a great investment, the price is great for what you get! But if you leave it outside don't plan on using it for very long. ... Read more

watch how you shop
I was looking for a trampoline and I kept looking around for the encloser trampolines. I purchased the 13 foot trampoline encloser but I didn't realize that the trampoline came separate. I have the encloser kit witch I spent $70.00 on and no trampoline. When I looked on the internet I never saw that the tramponine was separate and it wasn't clearly explained that it was just the encloser part. I also found out that the size of the trampone is not standard, therefore, in order to utilize the encloser kit, I have to spend another $110.00 for shipping on top of the shipping it cost me for the cover and the encloser kit. I am really upset that this is costing a large amount of money just because they didn't specifically say that the encloser kit needed the trampoline. Bevery careful, it is not every day that you go out and buy a trampoline and the encloser kits are totaly separate. I am very disapointed. ... Read more

broke after 2 weeks
My children (13,5) have wanted a trampoline for several years.We finally broke down and let the "Easter Bunny" bring us one!Not even two weeks later, all the straps that hold on the blue frame cover (padding that covers the springs) have ripped out.Now there is nothing holding it on the trampoline.This is NOT safe! I can not let my (very upset) children on it until I replace it.....we will see how the warranty is, and just how long I will have to wait. ... Read more

SpongeBob SquarePants Sport Fun Waterslide
This waterslide reminds you of the most funny characters on tv, Spongebob and his friends. Its so much fun to slide all day and it cools you off on that hot summer day!!! I think the Spongebob waterslide we be sold out soon its so much fun. Everyone should try it.

Slide this one to the chum bucket
My kids loved playing with this toy. Within an hour of normal use, the bumbers at the end split and the plastic near the end of the slide started to tear. We had a true "Slip-N-Slide" that survived most of last summer.

Fun that doesn't last
My kids love the waterslide but it didn't last an hour before it start to fall appart. First, the bumpers at the end separated, so it wouldn't hold water. Next, the slide began to rip just below the "Spongebob" image.

Loved It!!
My husband and son played on the slide for hours. It held up well. They both loved it. I would recommend to all spongebob fans! But the slide needs a few more tie down areas more than the four given

Wish I could review It.....
As soon as I hooked up the hose to the slide, the tube popped and ripped. Terrible. ... Read more

waxtex and match.com
i just bought a box of waxtex yesterday and it has severely changed my life. this box of waxed paper holds my hand when i need comforting, laughes with me when i am happy, cries with me when im sad, and it can truly feel what i need a partner to feel. thank you eugene for this amazing recomendation. i went to www.match.com, filled out the questionare, and now, im engaged!

An excellent trampoline!
I just bought the 12' Hedsrtom trampoline yesterday, and I LOVE it! You can jump sooo high! As for putting it together, the hardest part was putting the pad around the side of it.The frame was easy to put together, and the springs were a breeze! It took me, my brother, and my dad about 45 minutes to put it together.Overall, it is an excellent trampoline, which DEFINETLY gets 5 stars!

Great investment if you have kids' parties
I got this for my kid's Birthday/Easter party and what a great deal. I bought mine at the local Toyrus for only (...). I was going to rent one of those jumpers from JumpForFun for (...), but thought about benefits of a trampoline. For the same money I entertain the kids, but I keep the entertainment(trampoline). What a deal. There was a lot of tension when installing the legs, but the rest of the building was easy. Up in 30 minutes with help from my brother. I am happy with the purchase. Now I need to find a cover.

Great for the whole family!
We are so happy to have found such a terrific trampoline! The springs are so much bouncier than the trampolines with the bands. It holds more weight so my husband and I can use it too without worrying if it will break. My older children play on it every day and they never say that they are bored. My youngest jumps on it only with my supervision(we haven't purchased the enclosure yet). It is better than jumping on the bed! It was very reasonably priced and well worth every penny! ...

TOO MUCH WORK!!
This cover works well with keeping leaves and such off of the trampoline; but every single time it rains, I have to spend an hour or so getting the standing water out from the middle! It is a back breaking job and it is hard to understand why trampoline covers are not made to handle this correctly. More damage is done to the trampoline with the heavy water sitting there than leaves and limbs falling on it! This is a worthless item.

Disappointed with lack of quality
Used this item for less than two months (which was about 10 uses) before the elastic cord that secures it around the perimeter broke. Once the elastic is gone there is notheing that will keep the cover from falling off in the lightest of breezes.
I also agree with the review concerning water pooling in the center of the trampoline. At the very least I'm sure it weakens and shortens the spring life and also probably has the possibility of compromising the longevity of the trampoline frame.
One other complaint I have is that it is very difficult for one person to put the cover on by themself. As you attempt to pull the cover across the trampoline, the whole cover just slides on over and you end up walking in circles trying to get one side to stay put long enough to stretch the cover over to the opposite side.

Useless with 13'-14' enclosure
Can't use this item with a 13 or 14 foot enclosure because the safety net, when properly connected, prevents this item from securing itself over the trampoline edge. Recommend that you raise the safety net at its bottom slightly or connect the cover to several spring areas around the trampoline with small rubber-coated s-hooks.

Useless out of the box
Even a moderate wind tears it off the trampoline, so we had to attach velcro straps to keep it in place. During rain, water is collected inside it and causes the trampoline to dangerously sag, so we had to make a hole in the middle of the cover to let water out during storms. ... Read more

Editorial Review

One of the safest--and bounciest--trampolines around, this13-footer from Variflex meets ASTM safety standards and uses a cleverdesign that has no springs to decrease control, and no holes to fallthrough or get caught in. The bounce comes from the "Ultra-Flex"system--a tight network of rugged, springy fabric bands sewn onto themat with heavy-duty stitching. Thick foam pads attach to the frame withheavy zip ties so they can't be removed easily, and a heavy-gauge nyloncover wraps around the entire rim. Six galvanized legs hold the framesteady, and the bounce from the weather-resistant mat--even with nosprings--is fantastic.--Paul Hughes ... Read more

Wonderful product, however set up is difficult.
I have an 8 year old autistic son who absolutely LOVES this trampoline! It's in our back yard and he spends hours on it every day...sometimes jumping, sometimes just lying on it and looking at the sky. It's high enough to discourage my 2 year old daughter from attempting to join him.

It is amazingly durable and there aren't any springs to cause potential injury.

The only drawback is that setup is difficult for your average Mom and Dad. Other than that, I would highly recommend this product.

By the way, the recommended jumping guide with instructions is fabulous.

A red one! KOOLIO!
WOW! Such a good price! I have never seen a red trampoline either! SO koolio! I have always wanted a trampoline, so if I get one...THIS IS PROBABLY IT!

Best thing put on this planet
Its amazing, it is the funnest thing ive ever been on, and its always ALWAYS there, easy to move and doesnt mess up the lawn. it is easy to see past if you have flowers, also I think it is safe if you use it right. Over all, it is the best thing ever! IT ROCKS!

Best thing that happen (info on the thing you will need)
the main things u will need is a cover and the netting u should get the netting because if your child falls of it wong be pretty it also is just a nice safty percosion naw i think u should really think of getting one because it is fun for u and the family and u have a great time with your kids and spend family time together be nice get one u dont have to be rich to get one but u might want to buy something smaller for them if u r on a budget. My 2 children have a fun room/jumping with a princess and pirot jumping cassels and a tramp and the play trains and power wheels and a pool but instead of water there is either squishy smpund or the other has balls it is loads of fun plus u should get the newist thing we added to their rooms both these wonderful little cars from power wheels thats a golf cart then my husband made his a little place it the yard to drive it around and play gold then my daughter (youngest) got a train set that has bridges (we installed) that go around the ceiling of her room and also the nicest thing is we have lots of books and little dolls that she brings in the litttle carts at the bottom ( best room)and TOYSRUS has everything we baught there make your daughter happy with the toys and your boy more toys than he can ammangen :) enjoy :)

Great product
I have only had this cover for 1 month, so I cant say how it will hold up, but it seems to be made very well. I have been using an ugly tarp from the home depot to cover my daughters trampoline. It would blow off, so I had to put bricks on it. It really looked trashy. This cover looks so good. It fits great and is easy to put on. If you have a trampoline, I strongly recommend it. It comes in 2 sizes so be sure to measure your tramp! ... Read more

A Lot of Fun, but a liitle trouble putting it together
This trampoline is a hard to find product.We have been looking for a trampoline for kids that wasn't an inflatable and had a safety handle bar.This one is sturdy, has fun sounds and the games are a kick for the kids.It took me about 90 minutes to put this together by myself.The directions are difficult to follow, because they are poorly illustrated.The suggestion of using plastic ties, to center the jumping mat, was a life-saver.I simply used twine and it worked just fine.It would be best to have a second person to help put it together.Overall, we are very pleased with how much the kids enjoy it and how solid it feels.

Good fun: Hard to assemble
My 3 year old twins received this toy for their birthday.We didn't begin to assemble it until they were napping, so when they got up from a nap they could begin to jump.We assumed that a 2hr. nap would be more than enough time to assemble.Wrong! It took my husband and myself 4 hours to assemble this toy, and we are both very handy adults. The directions are less than adequite.The holes that are drilled to screw it together are extremely difficult to line up in order to insert the screws completely.The hardest part was centering the bouncing serfice within the frame.The serfice is a very sturdy piece of finely woven mesh material, it has No "give" to it. What gives this toy the bounce is the bungy cord that holds it to the frame.If you don't keep it centered while attaching and tightening the the bungy cord you will end up with large gaps on the side.We finely used tie wraps to center the jumping serfice, then added and tightened the bungy.When we were satisfied it was done, we cut off the tie wraps.Now that it is complete, my children LOVE it.It is very sturdy and I am confident it is safe for my children to use.

My kids love it!!
We just got this trampoline a few days ago, and everyone loves it! My one year olds are able to get on it and jump, my 4 year old really enjoys the games and the silly sounds it makes when she jumps, even my 8 and 9 year olds are having fun with it, since it holds up to 80 lbs.We have it inside, so at night when they have all the extra energy, I send them to bounce.My one year olds have sensory problems, so the input that they get from this is really good for them.I do think the colors are a bit bright, but it seems like they thought of every possible safety hazard, as everything is covered and padded.It does require two adults to put together though, but assembly only took about 25 minutes.I am really happy with this toy. ...

INCREDIBLE!
Allow me to tell you a story.

It had been three days since my wife left and I could feel the walls of my life rapidly caving in all around me, encasing me in a somber tomb. A cupboard of bourbon my only companion, I decided to indulge myself and consume the devil's elixir until I came face to face with Lucifer himself. It didn't take long, however, before every bottle in my decrepit apartment (Shampoo and Palmolive included) was guzzled and I found myself woefully still alive. Thus-my apartment being devoid of a sharp knife or even a functional oven-I realized that taking my life was, perhaps, not the solution to my troubles.

Not knowing what else to do, I hastily called my brother Frank, a masseuse who lived in Soho. He arrived at my door an hour later, giving me a firm hug which lasted several minutes.

"Thanks for coming Francis," I said (Frank always preferred being called Francis for some reason).

"No problem," he replied. "Besides, Tad and I had a fight again." (Tad was Francis' roommate of five years whom he met in college. They ran the massage parlor together but always seemed to be quarreling.)

Francis -who'd been known to moonlight as a gymnast-told me, "Listen, every time I feel down in the dumps, I prance on over to the neighborhood YMCA and take a few bounces on the communal trampoline; it never fails to make me feel great."

This sounded like a fantastic idea but there was one problem: My local YMCA was located right next to an elementary school and was frequented by many of the neighborhood school children. Due to a past "incident" I was no longer allowed within a two mile radius of the school thus ruling out any chance of going to the Y. Realizing this, I sobbed.

"There, there," Francis said, gently placing his hand on my leg. "I've got an idea."
Francis reached deep into his pocket and pulled out something, a booklet of some sort.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Trampoline catalogue!" he proclaimed flamboyantly snapping his fingers to some imaginary rhythm.

Together we flipped through the catalogue and immediately I saw a model I liked. My eyes lit up as I let out a gasp and pointed to the image on the page.

Seeing the object of my desire, Francis looked at me quizzically. "The 'Junior Trampoline,' huh? Why that one?" he asked.

"I don't know," I replied, "I guess I just like the picture."

We ordered it over the phone and the next day it arrived.

Sensing that a trampoline-induced elation had overcome me, obscuring the tumultuous events of my past, Francis gathered his shawl and walked toward the entrance of my apartment. "I'll leave you two alone," he said sassily as he closed the door behind him.

Well, I've had the trampoline for three months now and I can honestly say I've never been happier. Not only is it safe, durable, and easy to assemble, the Junior Trampoline also saved my life.

Tube joint cracked
First of all, this toy is very popular with my 2 daughters (4 1/2yrs and 2yrs). My younger daughter has gross motor delays and we purchased this to work on jumping...WHICH SHE LOVES!! Since she is so young (and tiny) I am on top of her - trying to avoid her chin hitting the handle bar. (She doesn't extend her arms out very far either). Use extreme caution with children of ANY age. My 2 complaints: First, assembly is difficult for 1 person; with 2 people it is very simple (need 4 hands). Secondly, while assembling the trampoline (by myself), the "tube joint" cracked in half. I recommend checking this piece regularly, as well as all parts. The "tube joint" is the circular piece (with the teeth) that cranks the arm and legs open and closed. I called Galt immediately and they are shipping 2 tube joints to me - no charge, of course. My compliments: Pleasant customer service at Galt America...no automated phone nightmares...2 rings and I was speaking with a representative.

JR TRAMPOLINE
I HAVE PURCHASED THIS FOR MY GRANDCHILD AND HE JUST LOVES IT. WE ALSO HAD ALITLE PROBLEM WITH TIPPING,BUT AFTER CALLING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE OF THE MANUFACTURER, WE WERE ALL SET. WE HAD IT SET UP WRONG.THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GALT AMERICA WAS JUST WONDERFUL. I HAVE READ OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT THIS TRAMPOLINE WHERE PEOPLE WERE NOT HAPPY WITH IT, I SUGGEST THAT THEY CONTACT GALT.

My kids love it
It's a great indoor item. My kids, 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 bounce away on this trampoline. They get wonderful exercise and it can really work out their left over energy. It is made very well. I agree with another reviewer, it can tip with vigorous bouncing and my kids have bumped their mouths on the hand rail when not paying enough attention but I have no second thoughts about having it out where they can always get to it. It is a life saver for me, especially on rainy days when we can't get outside.

DANGER!!!
Within five minutes of assembling this trampoline for our three-year-old daughter, she had hurled herself over the handlebar onto her head!
She is very agile and strong, and had no trouble scaling the "safety" bar with her vigorous jumping. We tried adjusting the bar to a more upright angle, but the same thing happened! We are lucky she was not seriously injured, and have disassembled this toy.
If you have a very active child, BEWARE! The tarp is much too bouncy, providing a dangerous launching pad for tots. ... Read more

Don't Buy this Enclosure
Unfortunately, what the buyer doesn't know is that this enclosure only works with the variflex line of trampolines. Not only do you not know that when you are buying it, but the directions state that you can call for special parts. When you call, you will be told that it won't fit your trampoline, because it isn't a variflex.

Not impressed
I was not impressed - especially since it didnt fit my trampoline, the picture shows 6 poles holding the net up but in fact there are only 4 and the distance was not compatible with my 6 legged trampoline. The instructions to build were not great and need to be updated and the plastic balls on the top of the poles were flimsy. It cost a lot to ship and return for no end result. I have no idea re fun and durability as I couldnt use it.

Fun with reveiws!!!!
I think that this trampoline is very fun i dont have one but my friend does and i would like one for my self i suggest that you buy one for your child or children they are very safe! thank you

To good to be true
If they left you the choice of 0 stars, this is what the enclosure would have gotten from me. No, not because I don't like it, but I couldn't use it on my 8 foot trampoline.
Our trampoline didn't have holes inside the medal legs and besides that the enclosure was too short to go all the way around our 8 ft. trampoline. My advice before you buy it make sure you have the same brand trampoline as the enclosure.
We didn't have any problems putting it together and I am sure this is a wonderful product once someone can actually use.

It is perfect....if you care
It is not bad at all....if you PUT IT TOGETHER right...it is durable and holds them in...but it takes awhile to get it on if done RIGHT...but it worth it...it does not let them fall thru...I have 4-5 5 year olds in it a lot...and it doesnt let them fall out...great!!! ... Read more
