Mini Tramp Safety questions

[Guest guest]

To be honest we kept our old sofa cushions for safety. The funny thing is

that's what she uses to jump most of the time. So if you can't find a tramp

check out on trash day for someone throwing away an old sofa and steal a

couple cushions LOL

The only safety problem we had was moving it in order to play in the

fishtank.

Raena,

Thanks! My thoughts were to put it in the middle of the room with pillows on the

floor around it and to supervisor the use until I can tell how well he will do

on it. My biggest concern is and trying to use it together and

banging heads LOL

Thanks for the advice. See if In-laws could learn tack

Warm Regards

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.

Oh my.

Um, I don't mean to be nasty here but...your in-laws need to mind there own

business.

He will be fine with the mini-tramp, and you will know how to take the

necessary precautions. They aren't any different than for an NT kid.

geesh.

LOL Sorry the local Wal-Mart didn't have one so I am waiting to get to the one

that only 35 minutes away. In the mean time, I mentioned it to the In-laws. One

would think I would learn after 13 yrs. My MIL talks slow and loud to if

that tell you anything. I am getting a tramp just wanted to make sure she

couldn't tell Jack " I told ...blahblahblah " hehehe

I do know someone whose daughter had a fairly serious head injury from a

mini trampoline. She was expected to recover fully but it took weeks.

However, I have always considered a mini trampoline safer than many of the

other things that Putter might do in order to give himself whatever it is

that he gets from the mini tramp. In the winter he would get on it about

every two hours and it probably calmed him, stimulated his vestibular system

and just overall did good stuff.

So does climbing my high chest of drawers and leaping off.

Given that Putter was going to do something leap-y it seemed best to choose

equipment that was intended to be leaped on.

Oh, and our mini tramp does have a handle and I do think it has been safer

because of it.
