Why You Should Get a Round Trampoline

By Matt McLaughlin

Hours of fun is provided with a round trampoline. A round trampoline provides fun for any age, young or old. If the weather is pretty then my children are in the backyard jumping on the trampoline. Our two year old loves begging to go out on the trampoline and jump around. Trampolines allow you to jump high and gives you good exercise.

You can purchase a round trampoline starting at 3 ft in circumference to 16 ft. Before you purchase a trampoline you need to decide what your needs are in the household. Do you have a energetic child or an inspiring athlete. If you want a house trampoline just to provide a place where your child can get some energy out then you need to purchase a smaller trampoline, but if you have more than one child a larger trampoline is the way to go.

We invested in a 12 foot in diameter round trampoline for our 5 kids from ages 2, 8, 9, 13 and 17 and I wish I could tell you in a year's time how many hours they have spent on the trampoline. It has helped with more time spent together down to our children being exhausted when it comes to bedtime. They spend hours out on the trampoline jumping, flipping and bouncing around with each other.

All kinds of people use trampolines besides children; athletes, gymnasts and cheerleaders use them for training purposes. Kids and adults of all ages use them just for fun and exercise.

There are some safety precautions that come with owning a trampoline. The first thing you need to make sure is that your trampoline is on level ground and if you have younger children it would be a wise investment to purchase an enclosure for your trampoline. The enclosure provides some safety for your children which allow them to stay inside the trampoline while jumping around having fun.

Trampolines are affordable and the investment will pay for itself in time. We have had ours for almost a year now and sending our kids outside then watching them wore out when it comes to bedtime is worth it. When the kids are full of energy you can send them outside and tell them to jump around and then the energy falls out of them. Trampolines are a wise investment and I recommend everyone that has kids to have one. - 2368
