Review of TOP-10 Best Safest Trampolines in 2021

Zupapa TUV

The inconspicuous Zupapa is yet another great option for homeowners who are in the market for a top rated safety trampoline with enclosure.

This model is available in 12ft, 14ft, and 15ft sizes all of which offer the highest maximum weight capacities that we’ve seen so far. For instance, the 15ft model which happens to be the largest offers an amazing 375 pounds of jumper weight capacity, while the 12ft and 14ft have a capacity of 330 pounds each. Honestly, none of the trampolines that we’ve reviewed so far comes any closer to these figures.

These high weight capacities mean that you can confidently take a spin on these trampolines without the fear of plunging through the mat. Similar to the Skywalker Jump N’ Dunk, the padded spring system in this model is also located outside the jumping surface thereby eliminating the risk of trapped and injured limbs and backs.  

Another thing that boosts this bouncers’ rank in most lists of the safest trampolines on the market is its TUV Approved status. If you’re curious, TUV (Technical Inspection Association) is a Germany-based consultant group that tests the safety of products including amusement rides and electrical appliances.

But what’s even more impressive is that you won’t have to buy a ladder and a rain cover separately since these too are included in the package.

Kangaroo Hoppers

We would only recommend this bouncer only if you are really strapped for cash but you still want a trampoline with a safety enclosure. The reason for this is that unlike in the slightly pricier models, this bouncer’s net is fitted outside the edge. This means that, although the springs are padded, they still remain a threat to the jumpers’ safety.

That notwithstanding, we feel that this trampoline has your family’s safety in mind on other fronts. The best part about round trampolines is that they tend to pull the jumper towards the center more so if more springs are used.

The Kangaroo Hoppers features 90 stainless steel springs that pull the 15ft jumping mat in synergy to keep you from the edges. This mat also offers an enormous jumping zone. In addition, we appreciate that this trampoline has 5 pairs of unique curvy legs for stability and 10 sturdy plastic posts that hold the enclosure system upright. This unit also does come with a ladder to prevent your children from jumping off the bouncer, whereas not every small trampoline comes with a ladder. This is to say that safety is guaranteed especially if you follow the 1-jumper-at-a-time safety rule and back it with parental supervision.

Durability is yet another factor that we’ve come to like about this trampoline. First and foremost, we like that the mat has been crafted from Polypropylene and it’s UV-treated for durability. The Polyethylene netting is also UV-treated so you won’t have to replace it after only a few uses. The galvanized steel frames also feature a corrosion resistant powder coating that again takes durability a notch higher.

Honestly, what else could you ask for at this price tag?

Best Massage 10ft Trampoline

This is one of our best recommendations for parents who want a reliable trampoline without overstretching their budget. The Best Massage has a pole to pole diameter of 10ft. So, it will appeal to preteens and most kids who are just coming from a mini trampoline.

Important to point out, the manufacturer recommends a weight limit of up to 220 lbs. Having only one kid jumping at a time should boost safety besides protecting the structure’s integrity in general.

The frame is made of galvanized stainless steel, which is good for a product that is likely to spend its entire usable life exposed to the elements. Each of the top rails is connected to the frame with a T-socket making it reliably stable during jumps.

Concerning bounciness, the Best Massage is fitted with 60 high-tension steel springs. This is just the right number of springs for a 10ft trampoline, and we expect it to have a decent bounce.

Sportspower My First Trampoline

Sportspower- a Hong Kong-based leisure tools company- is making a really good name for itself with its bouncers. My First trampoline is among their best-selling models and our most recommendable unit for moms and dads looking for the safest outdoor trampolines for kids.

This bouncer has a diameter of 84 inches and covers almost everything that kids’ trampoline should include, in our opinion. To begin with, this single-kid trampoline is rated at 100 pounds (approx 45kg) in terms of maximum weight capacity- a limit that most children probably won’t surpass. But then again, you can never be too cautious with your little one’s safety.

Mind you, we’ve heard of 130+ pounds moms who’ve taken a ride on it. While we don’t advise you to confirm their claims, this should give you a clearer picture of how strong this trampoline is for your kids.

My First Trampoline is also low to the ground and most 3-year-olds should be able to climb by themselves with no need for a ladder. The springs and the netting support poles are also heavily padded to prevent injured fingers and legs, and the safety net (with a zipper) is dense enough to retain the jumper inside.

Sure, installation is easy and can be done solo in about 1 hour or so, but you should expect it to get a little tough especially if you don’t know how to put the last springs in a trampoline.

The manufacturer claims that this beauty is resistant to both rain and safe. To be on the safer side though, we recommend setting it up under a shade or getting a canopy.

Merax 15FT Trampoline

Merax is a brand that we like to recommend to individuals who want to pay for the trampoline quality and not the brand. This trampoline’s 15ft diameter means that it’s up there on the list of the biggest trampolines.

But what’s more appealing is its 375 lbs. This surface area and high weight limit combo make this trampoline just right for the entire family.

To give you greater value for your money, Merax also includes a basketball hoop in the package. Importantly, we didn’t come across any negative feedback regarding this hoop’s quality compared to what Skywalker uses for its Jump N’ Dunk trampolines. Kudos, Merax.

Besides the fun part, this trampoline also wins on the safety aspect. It comes with a zippable enclosure and a 4-step ladder to climb on and off the mat. The springs are well padded, too, and the 6 u-shaped legs make this trampoline both strong and sturdy.

Skywalker Rectangle Trampoline

The Skywalker Rectangle 15ft with a 250-pound weight limit is a safe big bro to the Jump N’ Dunk that we saw earlier on, and a perfect trampoline for gymnasts, athletes, and dabblers alike.

Rectangular bouncers aren’t so common but they are there. These models make the best trampolines for large families with quite a good number of serious jumpers for a couple of reasons. Most importantly, rectangles tend to offer a larger jumping surface area for multiple jumpers to practice maneuvers with reduced risk of collisions. 

In addition, these models are renowned for creating a far much better bounce than their square, round, and oval alternatives. But the main reason why rectangles make the best trampolines for people in gymnastics is that their springs work independently thereby giving the jumpers maximum control over their takeoffs and landings anywhere around the mat.  

True to Skywalker’s culture, the springs (76 to be precise) are padded and outside the net to create this brand’s patented no-gap enclosure system. This means that no matter how close they fall near the edge, your children will never land or even injure themselves on the springs.

This beast again has a super strong structural base that should never go unnoticed. It boasts 4 very thick legs and galvanized steel frame that work together to create a super sturdy bouncer for the most aggressive jumpers.

To add on to this, this trampoline is fitted with reinforced T-sockets that further boost stability and prevent structural twisting.

Habitrio 16ft Circular Outdoor Trampoline

If you have enough space in your backyard and a large family of jumpers, then why not go for one of the largest trampolines this year? The Habitrio comes from Merax- a trampoline brand with global recognition thanks to its emphasis on the safety and quality of its products.

Hands down, the winning feature of this trampoline is its size. With a diameter of 16ft, the Habitrio offers a jumping surface area of over 190 sq. ft. This usable area will allow 3-5 kids to jump together. This is possible when you consider the manufacturer-suggested weight limit of 375 lbs.

It’s evident that Merax also takes your jumpers’ safety seriously with this trampoline. For instance, the galvanized steel frame is sturdy, and it’s less likely to bend or break. Secondly, the UV-proof enclosure net attaches to the mat giving this trampoline a no-gap design.

Skywalker Jump N’ Dunk

Skywalker is a name to reckon with in the trampoline industry, and what we like about them is their ability to enhance the overall safety of the jumper without taking their price tags through the roof. If you are looking for an affordable alternative to the Springless Trampoline 13ft Jumbo above, we can confidently recommend this one.

The Skywalker Jump N’ Dunk 15ft is a spring-based trampoline engineered to withstand up to 200 pounds of jumper weight. Uniquely, this model does not suffer the safety hazards that plague conventional models. Similar to our top pick above, this bouncer has a patented no-gap enclosure design that is achieved by attaching the net directly to the mat and taking the springs outside the jumping zone.

Worth mentioning, the net is supported upright by heavily padded steel posts that have been curved outwards to keep the jumper safely out of harm’s way.

This trampoline actually gets its name from the basketball hoop on board and it’s available in a variety of colors to suit your family’s needs. While what we are reviewing here is the 15ft model, you can also get it in 12ft and 8ft sizes.

SONGMICS Trampoline

Buyers around the world continue to connect quality, durability, and reliability with German products- a trend that has existed for over 110 years. Boasting a German origin, Songmics is among the most celebrated brands in trampolines space, of course, because of the seriousness with which it takes your kids’ safety and fun needs.

If you are looking for an affordable and safe outdoor trampoline with basketball hoop, trust us- this one has got you covered. This model is available in 3 sizes; 12ft, 14ft, and 15ft and you can also get it without the hoop if you don’t find it necessary. Regardless of your choice, your trampoline will sport the features that we’ll list here.

This model features 6 ‘W’ shaped legs each with 2 contact points that make it even more stable than the Kangaroo Hoppers above. The steel frames have been fully galvanized for years of durability besides giving them a good appeal.

The most interesting bit about this trampoline, however, is the 375 weight limit– it’s German, remember? Usually, such a high weight capacity will allow a couple of children to hop onto the mat at a go or an adult plus 2 kids.

To eliminate all your doubts appertaining safety, the jumping mat is a Polypropylene that has been high- pressure tested to pass TUV’s safety and durability requirements. On the same note, this mat is held in place by 96 galvanized springs that give it a good amount of bounce as most buyers affirm.

Still, on the subject of safety, the safety net enclosure is actually connected to the mat to get the padded springs out of the way. This net again has a concave craftsmanship that further directs the jumper towards the center and away from the springs in case of a mis-jump.

To add to the already impressive design, the net is a dense mesh that gets a nice pull from the nicely padded and tight rails. And you also get a nicely welded 3–step ladder to make getting in and out of the trampoline much safer.

SKYTRIC Trampoline with Top Ring Enclosure

Our last recommendation here is from Skytric- an American manufacturer that has made a really good home run with its trampolines in the recent past, and a sister brand to Upper Bounce.

This model is available in a range of sizes ranging from 8ft to 15ft although all of them have been engineered with the same blueprint.

This trampoline is getting a good press, firstly because of its gapless design that eliminates the risk of falling through or hairs and fingers getting trapped in the springs.

To give this trampoline its 330-pound maximum weight capacity, Skytric has crafted a really strong mat from Polypropylene with 8 rows of stitching to make it resistant to abrasions and tears. This mat is again held in place by 96 galvanized steel springs that create both strength and a good rebound.

This trampoline again has 6 pairs of legs with a total of 12 contact points to keep it stable on the ground. On the same note, we really love the way the enclosure system poles connect directly to the legs. Besides making the installation process simple, we feel that centralizing the joints in one place rather than all around the edge minimizes the development of weak points.

Touching further on its installation, this trampoline is designed to assemble and disassemble without a lot of hassles although several buyers say that they faced a few hiccups at first.
