Mini Tramp Safety questions

[Guest guest]

Hi

My In-laws are giving me grief about getting a mini tramp, saying it is

not safe and that the " way " he is, he will really hurt himself. Has anyone had

any problems? any special precautions I should take? geeshhhh In-laws

Thanks

i'd say the only safety precaution you should take is to stay away

from your inlaws :-P

seriously, the tramp is what, a foot off the ground? he could get

more hurt jumping on the bed!

if they want to pay for a full size tramp with a safety enclosure,

then let them, otherwise tell them to butt out

I want to know where to get one for . Haven't been able to find one.

It was the best thing ever that I bought for my kids. My oldest

worked off a lot of energy on it. It held up for 2 years. I no

longer have the room for it now, but once I do, I will buy another

one in a heart beat.

Without. A small round one. I haven't seen any in a few years like

that.

The Wal-Mart website has them for 19.99 plus I think it was $7 to ship to Maine.

I am going to wait until the local Wal-Mart can get one in. I found one of the

square ones with the handle for $70ish on a website if you are interested in

that I will find the link.

How old were your kids when you had it? Just trying to decide which one to

get, with the handle or without?

The mini trampoline has been the BEST

$20.00 i EVER spent...and NO, she has

never fallen on it, or off of it..(now,

i have tripped over it a few times..lol)

But, really, it was such a life saver, and

it still is!!!! She even has one of those

big bouncy balls (walmart $2.50) and she

will bounce on the ball on the trampoline

at the same time...

Also, my little rach (2) bounces on it also,

with no problems at all...

Its set up in her room, and she uses it

EVERY day!!!!

[Guest guest]

Right now I am leaning toward the no handle one because of the cost and I doubt

would hold onto the handle (He is 2.5) plus (and keep in mind I have not

seen the handled one in person) I am wondering if he won't use, will it be in

the way or does it lay down and is short not even 3 feet so I'm not sure

he could reach it. I will try to find a link to one and see the measurements.

Which one are you getting?

I'm short on money too, so IF I get one, it will have to be the $20 one.

That way, if he doesn't use it, I won't be out a lot, but this kid LOVES

jumping on the bed, so I doubt that will be a problem. LOL!

Hey, if you don't feel safe with the tramp, just buy him a cheap twin

mattress and throw it on the floor for him! Just make sure it's a really

bouncy one!

[Guest guest]

ellen,

Try Meijers, WalMart, Kmart, any sporting goods store, possible Sears, etc..

Look in the dept they have their exercise equipment in.

We just got ours a year or two ago, but they still advertise them.

I have nothing but great things to say about our mini tramp

experiences...As well as the experiences I have had in the classroom

Well, actually, they may not be very tactful, but they are right

about needing some safety precautions...mini-tramps can cause serious

injuries if not used properly.

Rules?

* Make sure the mini-tramp is far enough away from hard furniture,

sharp corners, and windows that if the child loses his bearings, he

won't fall into something that could hurt him.

* Teach him to jump holding your hands...I have hold my

forearms, and I hold his---it's a secure grip.

* Teach him to walk onto the mini-tramp, not run and jump into it, as

many kids do...losing your footing can cause toes to get caught under

the vinyl edging and the kid takes a nose dive to the floor. Twisted

ankles, bruise knees, possible bloody lip.

That's what I can think of for now...if I remember any others, I'll

post them.

Ignore them and get a mini-tramp. Even autistic kids are smart enough to

know that don't want to hurt themselves.

Same here.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (as Penny would say).

He'll use it.

Trust me.

Well, some of them are. LOL!

I have one that does some self-injurous behaviour.

Me too. But that's a lot different from accidental hurt.

Boone doesn't like to cause his own pain unless he's pissed. Them he bangs

his head. No kamikazes off the trampoline so far.
