How well does this work for a child who weighs over 50 lbs? Does it move and lift on each jump? Would you recommend this for a child of this weight?

Our 8yo is 73.50 lbs. It does not lift when he jumps and he jumps alot and fast. He doesn't use the handle bar however.

Depends on age of child. We bought this for my 2yo and it does not lift at all. however my 5 and 8yos jump on it daily, depending on how aggressive they get it does lift and has tipped over when they have shifted their weight forward on the bar. But when they just jump straight up and down it does not lift.

I just got this for my 2yo and he bounces like crazy! When he's not using the handle bar, it doesn't lift. When he is using it, it tends to lift, but it hasnt' tipped over...... yet.... .LOL

My son is not quite 40 lbs. it works perfectly for him, but I'm not sure about a 100 lb child. Sorry I can't be more help.

I think so. There is a weight limit, but I think it is 75-80 pounds. Probably not best for an adult, but I can jump on it for short periods, lightly, with no problems (170 lbs).

It's pretty real for little guys. My 3 year old uses it and it works perfectly. A little less bouncy for my 5 year old but he still likes it. It's great for kids up to 50 lbs in my opinion.

My son weighs about 46 pounds and it holds him fine, even with him standing and jumping (not recommended but have caught him doing this) on it.

There is a 100 pound limit on this trampoline. I bought it for my grandson who is very small 28 lbs and had a disability so he is not as active a jumper as his cousins who are 5 months older and 5 months younger than he is. This is PERFECT for him. However, his very active cousins would have torn this apart very quickly. It's small.....so if he is Active and wants to do flips and such, this may not be for him. My son had to get a much more stable tramploine for his boys.

I bought this and I jump up and down on it.. I weigh 165lbs and it seems solid as a rock... I would think if you are under 300 lbs (and not jumping on it) it should be fine.

I think it is 500 pounds. I have had a whole group of kids on there with no problems. From 2 years to 10 and everywhere in between. I tried getting in there once with them and at 200 pounds I was a little to much for it. I could do it by myself but not with all the kids. But it can take 6 or 7 kids jumping around no problems.

My daughter had hers for less than a day. She only weights 30 lbs. and is 5 years old. Don't think so. She did not jump on it. Bad factory work, still did not receive a replacement :( and starting to think I never will.

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though.

my son was 4 when I used this. he was tall for his age so his head bumped the top when he had a helmet on, but it still worked and he loved it!! The package says up to 50lbs.

I bought this for my 6 yr old granddaughter. She loves it. It works great with their weight. They just have to move their feet to get it going. It has a hand brake if it seems scary at first. It works well on any flat surface. Rugs of course make it hard. I'm almost tempted to one one for myself. Lol

It is weighted pretty heavily, but does wobble some. A mat under it helps some, but not much. Good for practicing only the most basic maneuvers - pullovers, etc., but not for anything advanced. We purchased it a couple of years ago for our grandchildren and they are already outgrowing it. Current ages: Boy age 8, Level 5 & Girl age 11, Level 5.

I am not certain if this would be satisfactory for a 70lb child. It is small for a toddler/youngster of average weight (probably up to about 50lb). The diameter is not small and the elastic floor might extend too low for fun. The perimeter with the yellow band in the middle extend inward as a handle when toddler/youngsters are beginners and want to hold on. I don't remember the manufacturer's suggestion of a weight so you might want to check this item.

We bought this pogo stick when our oldest was about 12 and youngest about 9. The youngest is a small child and doesn't weigh much so he had a harder time with it at first, the older one could use it just fine. My younger one is almost 12 now and can jump on it really well now. I think the weight of the person has a lot to do with it, seems like about 60ish pounds is the magic number to make it "easy," though it is possible to use with less effectiveness at a lower weight. Breaking in the springs doesn't hurt either though. I'd say just give it some time.

It should work fine for anyone up to 250 lbs. It would be a little small for someone larger. My father is 190 lbs and it works fine for him.

On the couple occasions I've seen bigger kids use this jump house, I don't think larger kids can jump too high due to the limited volume of the air bag and blower motor. I've gone inside it to play with my grandkids on a couple occasions and we usually play with me laying down. I weigh 250 pounds and have played with the kids many times and this item just seems to keep going and going (I think around 2+ years now). I think it's a good product (but don't expect to catch much air if you're larger in size).
