Trampoline for Kids & Toddlers: Safety, Benefits, and Recommended Options

Ancheer Mini Rebounder Trampoline

This model would have easily clinched our number one slot in these reviews had the manufacturer included a safety net enclosure. However, the fact that it is almost 2 folds pricier than the Skywalker Round Zoo above is an indication that it has a lot to offer in terms of usage.

One of the small trampolines for 2 kids, the Ancheer Rebounder is a rare oval-shaped rebounder with a handlebar that runs across the center to create 2 jumping areas and an impressively high weight limit (220 pounds) that accommodates 2 young jumpers flawlessly.

The Ancheer is spring-based, and as we have mentioned in another article on this site, spring trampolines are simply hard to beat in terms of bounce and are, therefore, the best for the jumpiest kids. As you might expect at this price range, the spring system has been heavily padded to give your kid an endless jumping experience with zero spring-related injuries besides giving you peace of mind too.

This bouncer’s frame and the handlebar are from heavy-duty steel and have been powder-coated to prevent rusting.

But what you’ll certainly like is that once it is fully assembled, you can easily fold this trampoline and stow it away to save on space. This also means that it can be used either indoors or outdoors without having to go through the assembly process over and over again.

If you are of the opinion that only an enclosure can make any trampoline safe for a kid, then we are sorry, this model might not fit the bill for you. The heavily padded handlebar, however, makes all the difference by offering additional support to prevent your kids from falling.

In addition, this tramp’s low-height and open design makes it possible for you to hold your kids’ hands until they are confident enough to jump on their own. But what’s so unique is that the handlebar can be adjusted from 38’’ to 45’’ and this makes the bouncer safe for kids as young as 3 years.

ATIVAFIT 36-Inch Folding Mini Trampoline

Ativafit 36-inch Folding Trampoline is the perfect trampoline for small children. A trampoline does not take up a lot of space, it is very compact and will be very convenient for your child.

The great advantage of this trampoline is that it can be easily assembled and installed. A reliable handle is attached to this trampoline, which will allow your child to feel safer when bouncing.

Ativafit 36-inch Folding Trampoline is made of high-quality materials – heavy-duty frame, stainless steel springs, safe pad cover, and PP jumping mat. The high-strength springs make this small trampoline bouncier.

As an important detail of this small trampoline, one can also note the availability of rubber holders on the legs. This allows the trampoline to be more stable and not to create noise when jumping.

If you want your child to have fun while jumping on a small trampoline, but still feel safe, pay attention to this model.

Clevr 7 ft Small Kids’ Trampoline

The Clevr 7ft bouncer with a weight limit of 100 pounds is the smallest of the 3 trampolines from this manufacturer; its bigger siblings measure 12ft and 15ft. Since this is a review of the small trampolines for kids and toddlers, we chose the smallest model since it is much lower to the ground compared to its siblings and this makes it easy for small kids to climb up without lots of struggles.

This trampoline has a pole-to-pole diameter of 7ft/84 inches and a jumping area of approximately 6.5ft. The jumping bed is surrounded by an enclosure featuring a combination of 6 posts and a high-quality polyethylene net that is both strong enough to retain airborne jumpers and yet flexible to resist ripping and tearing.

With regard to your kids’ safety, the net support posts have heavy foam padding to prevent injuries in case the jumper hits them and so does the spring system. There is also an unforgettable doorway with a zipper that can be zipped from either side.

This trampoline again has a heavy-duty steel frame consisting of 3 pairs of legs that have been precisely positioned to prevent tipping over.

Is it easy to assemble? Well, we could say so; most previous users affirm that they were able to put it up in 1-2 hours albeit the instructions not being so clear. However, note that it might be quite hard to disassemble it if, let’s say, you want to change its location. The good news, however, is that this tramp is weatherproof and can, therefore, pull through winter nicely. Moreover, its small size makes it easy to position it in most kids’ playrooms and this might be a great relief if you live in an area with a bad weather climate year-round.

Little Tikes 3-feet Trampoline

This Little Tikes trampoline is made from a combination of metal and plastic. It is suitable for children between the ages of 3 and 6. The maximum weight limit is 55 lbs. Therefore, only one child can jump on this trampoline at a time to comply with safety measures.

Every child will be pleased with the large jumping area. In addition, there is a handlebar that will help prevent the child from falling and injuries. This trampoline is for indoor use only.

Langxun 5-Feet Trampoline

The Langxun is yet another irresistible model that we’d highly recommend to anyone who wants a small trampoline.

Time for honesty: while safety and performance were the leading factors while making our list of the trampoline for kids for 2021, this bouncer’s eye-catching color pattern really enticed us. Therefore, this might make a really good gift for birthday parties and will suit both boys and girls. Believe us; your kiddos will love this and the best part is that its price range is way below the $150 mark which, in our opinion, makes it a really good deal for a small trampoline with an enclosure net.

The Langxun is a sturdily built bouncer with a diameter of 5 feet (pole to pole) and a jumping surface of 19 sq. ft. Compared to the other models in this list, this tramp is hands down, the best for the most energetic kids.

Its relatively higher single jumper weight limit- 220- pounds, on the other hand, is a pointer of how strong the stainless steel rig and legs are. Actually, this manufacturer states that this trampoline can withstand weights of up to 330 pounds.

Installation is a walk in the park and what makes it even easier is that all the necessary tools are included in the package. On the same subject, this bouncer can be used either indoors or outdoors. The feet have rubber points to prevent the frame from scratching your floors besides giving the weather-resistant frame a stable grip outside.

Svan 36 Inches Kids’ Trampoline

The Svan is a go-to model for parents who are in the market for small trampolines for pre-school, toddlers, and young children. With a diameter of 36 inches and a maximum weight limit of 55 pounds, this is also one of the most affordable bouncers for kids with handlebars out there at below $60 (during the time of this review).

This tramp’s construction design is a unique blend of safety, convenience, and fun. From a safety point of view, for instance, this model is spring-free, and as opposed to the elastic bands that the Skywalker Round Zoo uses, the Svan uses bungee cords that offer a much better bounce while eliminating all issues of pinched fingers and backs.

In addition, the jumping bed is around 14 inches from the ground and this makes it easy for kids above 3 years to climb up and down with minimal assistance. This bouncer again comes with a padded handlebar that has been slightly curved to ensure that the jumper utilizes the center of the jumping mat as opposed to moving towards the edges- this again prevents the risk of the trampoline tipping over with intense bounce.

Here is the best part: the Svan 36 inches kid trampoline is designed for use both indoors and outdoors. But unlike most trampolines for kids, once you’ve assembled this bounce, you won’t need to disassemble it to move it to another location since the entire rig is foldable and the handlebar can also be removed. Notably, this folding design not only makes it a breeze to change the location, but it also makes it possible to store the tramp away after use for people who live in congested apartments.

Skywalker Mini Trampoline

Skywalker is a regular name on this site and a highly recommendable brand especially when you are not sure about which trampoline manufacturer to go with. Their 48-inch Round Zoo bouncer is probably the small trampoline for kids with enclosure, and it’s not hard to see why.

The first feature that attracted us to this model is its spring-free design- a concept that eliminates almost 80% of the common injuries that occur when the jumper either lands awkwardly on the spring area or goes through the spaces.

In place of the springs, the Round Zoo uses 30 7.25-inch stretch bands that have again been heavily padded to eliminate the issues of limbs plunging through or been trapped. Actually, the elastic band system is outside the enclosure system and, therefore, gets rid of this risk completely.

The jumping mat that offers a usable area of 8.45 sq. ft. is crafted from polypropylene and has been woven to offer the jumper a stable feet grip with each jump. In addition, this mat has several images of animals that make the tramp more appealing to children besides giving it its name.

Other safety features of this tramp include a wide and stable base that prevents the bouncer from tipping over and a lower enclosure that prevents kids and pets from crawling underneath where they might be hit from above. There is also a 360-degree heavily padded handlebar inside to offer additional support and the enclosure support frames have also been padded for impact protection.

The Skywalker Round Zoo bouncer is recommended for kids between 3 and 7 years of age. It’s isn’t so complicated to put up although you really don’t want to do that every day. On the same note, while the frame is weather-resistant, most of the other components aren’t. Thus, it’s used as indoor trampolines to ensure durability.
