40-inch Foldable Trampoline with Stabilizing Bar

We bought this for our daughter who has autism. She is 5 yrs old, and our 2 yr old loves jumping on it, too! We had tried one of the trampolines made for kids, but it broke after 2 weeks use. This trampoline was cheaper, much easier to set up, sturdier, and better quality. We didn't use the extentions on the handle, so that the handle is right at their height. This is a fabulous thing to have in the house - especially on rainy days!

The actual trampoline seemed sturdy enough but the stabilizer bar wiggled quite a bit and did not feel very stable. I had purchased this for my young (toddler) grandchild and was a bit disappointed that the stabilizer bar wasn't really all that secure.

I am unable to do most exercises and low impact was suggested by my doctor. This turned out to be the perfect answer since I can work both muscle and aerobic activities at the same time. In a week, I have lost five pounds and love the way. (PS I jump while I watch the evening news and that helps me keep the pace up!)

Being under 5'5" tall, I didn't have the arm (or head-to-foot) length to put the rebounder into its fully open position and had to wait for my hero of a husband to arrive and set it up. The price was excellent, but the rebounder comes w/out any "how-to" exercise instructions. The least expensive (VHS) program on rebounding (new, not used) comes in at around $25. So, if your choice of rebounder includes a work-out, and the price is around $100, go for the one with the DVD or tape. One other thing: The materials smell like a tire factory moved into the family room.
