All the mini trampolines I've seen are very stiff and give very little bounce. Is this one any bouncier?

It depends on the child's weight. My daughter is 7 average weight and can't stop jumping since we got it:) I wish I have bought it earlier .... I run a daycare at home and even the toddlers enjoy it. We all love it.

The grand kids absolutely love this! Was the best xmas gift for a few years. Watch our 7 ur old yesterday and was concerned she was going to hit ceiling in the house!

As commented by my daughter's physical therapist, this one really bounces well and isnt stiff like many of the others. This is not considered a gym trampoline like the adult ones.

I believe it is. We had purchased an ADULT mini-trampoline with very little bounce as you describe. I believe the higher the weight capacity, the tougher the springs and the less bounce. My son gets a good bounce on this trampoline. You can also try one with a bungee cord instead of springs. We had one with a bungee cord for years but he snapped the cord a few times and it was time for something tougher.

This is very bouncy and also extremely stable. My son gets great height with this, he's 41 lbs right now. It has easily fit two four year olds and a 7 year old bouncing at once (even though you aren't supposed to do that) and no sag and still great bounce over a year and a half later (heavy use). THe only thing is the foam on the handle WILL flake a bit and our cat chewed it to bits within a week but nothing duct tape around it didn't quickly fix! Did a ton of research, thrilled with my purchase, recommend 1000%

The springs are kind of loose though meaning they expand more than others under weight. As far as a bounce, no. But if your attaching to a swing frame they will lickly be to long. I had to replace them only 6 months into use for the elliments in Okinawa rusted them away.

I think it moves good.. Maybe not as bouncy as my jumperoo. If you are looking for a more bouncy one id recommend the jumperoo from fisherprice. This is great for moving around in there and lots of toys to play with. We used it very little though in comparison to our jumperoo. Hope that helps :)

Yes, it is a spring trampoline, tons of fun for my 15 month old. Need 2 people to put it together bc you have to stretch the mat equally from opposite ends as you add springs or it is very difficult.

I would say "just right." It feels the most like a big trampoline of the small ones I've tried. I've had my rebounder for about two years and still use it all the time. I love it.

it's a great little trampoline for the money...be careful opening it/setting it up...it lasted about a year and a half before the straps starting coming off but it is very stable and easy to use...I used mine every morning for 30 minutes during the cold months

This is for fitness and you do not jump high for that. The jump capability for fitness trampolines is more subdued so it shouldn't be a problem. Watch the enclosed DVD to see the workout and observe how low you really "jump".

The springs are not too stiff nor are they very springy. I feel that it's a really good toy, well constructed and fun

Yes, it bounces but with some effort. I bought it to exercise my hands & feet.

The 13' Bouncer has some bounce to it. If you are looking for a floating trampoline that has big bounce, check out the Island Hopper 15' Classic water trampoline. Here is a great comparison video to explain the differences between bouncers and water trampolines. http://watertrampolines.com/comparem.asp

Not real springy. My five year old has to jump with it. It's loosening up but in no way will it come close to bouncing her off.

I haven't had any issues with bounce. I used it for bounces off of a wall for reps and it performed as expected. I am very pleased with this ball and I would/will buy another one.

The springs are not stiff. My grandson is 3 and it does not bounce across the room which would be dangerous. He gets a good bounce out of it and enjoys it every day.

The product itself is not inherently noisy. However when you bounce there is a slight movement when you jump the legs do hit the ground a tad... probably not nearly as noisy as if you were to just jump on the bare floor, but I can't imagine it wouldn't create a bit of rhythmic bouncing noise for the folks underneath you. The top & side apartments it would be the noise coming from your 'Bouncing DVD' that would be more noticeable!! Certainly not from the rebounder itself! It folds in half, not easily, but certainly doable, and would slide under a bed, or sit up flat against a wall nicely.

It does bounce. I use it for ball slams. It is about the size of a basketball.

The total rebounding surface of the Stamina is 34 inches, which is enough for most stationary exercises like jogging in place but could be too small for side-to-side motions or dynamic exercises like jumping jacks. Beginning exercisers may not even want to perform more advanced routines, anyway, so the Stamina's relatively small bouncing surface shouldn't present a problem. We find that the Stamina does everything first-time users would want in a budget-priced mini trampoline, and it is safe for young children to use strictly for fun as well. http://bestreviews.com/best-mini-trampolines

I think it had the right amount of stiffness and bounce for my kiddos. It wasnt so floppy that they would fall off while climbing on but even at age 2 they could move him.
