Previously I purchased an adult round trampoline for less than half the price. This trampoline did not have the handle bar. My todder son, age 2.5, enjoys the trampoline so much, I thought I would get the higher priced model. To my surprise, the higher priced model is not as high a quality as the lower priced adult trampolines. The most important problem is that this trampoline uses a bungy cord to wrap around the inner mat, and not springs. Springs work MUCH better. The bungy cord moves and adjusts, and does not give a good spring action. The handle bar is on one side of the device, and when the child jumps, the other side tends to raise up and when it goes down it pounds on the floor. This can ruin a wood floor, and it can cause a loud sound throughout the house. The frame is very light, and does not appear to be a durable as other frames. Overall, the design looks good, but it is not functional. The manufacturer needs a new design that eliminates the above problems and which uses springs. Perhaps the bar should be centered more, and perhaps some mechanism should be in place for putting a weight on the side opposite the bar to prevent this side from going up and down. Finally, when the trampoline goes up and down, this is dangerous, and the child could topple it over, and hurt himself. 1 star The following review received 17 helpful votes out of 18 total votes: Review Date: 2005-10-06 "Great value for the money" This trampoline is a great product , I live in NEW YORK CITY , an the ability to fold the legs and handle - can make it very goood for compact storage. It is the only one on the market that carries the ASTM safety approval .....iT WILL ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO EXERCISE AND KEEP FIT. You and your child will have hours of energetic play together. 5 stars The following review received 9 helpful votes out of 9 total votes: Review Date: 2007-09-14 "Fun, but check the cord often!!!!!" I bought this for my two daughter (3&5) last year for Christmas. We have used it almost every day. Epecially over those long Vermont winter when we could not go outside. This trampoline had held up well until today when my daughter was jumping and went right to the floor because the elastic bungy that holds the whole thing together broke. Galt sells replacement on their website for $20. I am glad that my daughter didn't get hurt and I will make sure to check the new bungy often.
