what is the actual "inside jumping area"? Can two 7yr olds jump at same time? I hear the net is not the best but does the outside mate hold up?

Hi. The trampoline is awesome and the way the safety netting is set up on the inside makes it very safe as there is no possilility of falling through springs. However, this placement does reduce the inside jumping area by about 6" each side....Probably not big enough for two jumpers over 5..and best for a single jumper.

Not sure I understand your question but - One side of the net attaches to a pole that goes into the ground, the other side of the net attaches to the outside of the trampoline (the safety bars). You play on the ground, in the space between the tramp and the pole.

Yes, that is why I purchased it for my 5 year old grandson. He loves it and there is not many areas that he can't go on and his 7 year old brother loves it as well. I little pricey but worth it to be able to handle it on almost any surface.

The trampoline material itself is every bit as sturdy as a full size tramp, however the size of the jumping area may not be big enough for an older child. My 3 year old son (he is very tall - 39 inches) is already too big to jump inside without hitting the guard rail. The inside diameter is only slightly larger than his arm span.

The net does go on the inside of the springs, however you should still have a safety pad. If a child hits the net with enough force it could stretch/tear and they could get themselves caught in the springs. I wouldn't take that chance of the net stretching or tearing if a child bounced into the net with enough force.

There are lots of ways to play. One child can have tons of fun with it. My 7 year old has enjoyed it from the time he was 4.

We have the 10 foot Ultega. The net is on the outside of the springs and pads. Not that you asked about this, but we really like this trampoline. It is very stable. We've had it for about two years with no problems other than having to replace the spring safety pad

My daughter who weighed about 40 lbs played in it very rough, and it never seemed to be unstable at all. She was very aggressive while trying to learn to flip both frontward and backward, yet, I never saw it tip at all. Would I put two kids into it at the same time, no. Not because of the trampoline's shortcomings, but two kids should never be on any trampoline at the same time. The chance of one or both of them getting hurt is huge. They can't control themselves very well at that age and size and more likely than not, their heads are going to clash together, which is something that should never happen. Keep it's use to one child at a time and you'll have no problems with it.

My 12 year old daughter could jump with it. It actually takes practice with the kids knowing how to use their weight (muscle memory). She is 85 lbs.

My 2 yr old doesn't seem to be able to move it around too much when he's jumping. Based on my experience I don't think you'll have that problem.

We use it in the basement. My older boy (age 11) can get all of it and not damage the drywall. (Not that I've noticed anyway... there could be some depressions here and there for all I know.)When you have it running continuously, the balls are ricocheting all over the place, you're ducking behind the net to not get hit. It is something to experience.

It's pretty durable but I'm not sure how it would handle with regular use by teens. My children are 3 and 1 and I occasionally jump in it and we have not had any issues. AND we use it all the time!

I put my granddaughter in the jumper near the end of 4mos/early 5mos. She loves it! She is occupied 45min to an hour. We love it! It bounces sooo easily, she has fun. My granddaughter's toes/feet can touch the floor, she will be 6 mos next week and we are going to TRY raising it one strap mark.

the kids do enjoy it but it does not have the bounce like a land trampoline you can jump high enough to do a flip (my daughter takes gymnastics do dont know if that makes a difference)

Well, I haven't jumped in it myself, but my 3 year old niece and 5 year old nephew absolutely LOVE it, they bounce like crazy in it and they act like it a "club house" and play inside it all the time-- $$ well spent!!! :)

Hi there ,well, to be honest, i am heavy and my kids like to jump or play on the sofa. So the result was that we broke the main part. My husband tried to fix it.didn't work out.we kept a corner but it's not worth it.

We were thinking the same thing. Our son is 8, and can hop on it but not really bounce. We just got it for Christmas so we were thinking the same thing, that maybe if just needs to be broken in, that its new and tight. Plus he's at the bottom of the weight capacity, I wanted him to be able to use it for a while.
