As parents, we’re always looking for exciting and engaging activities for our little ones. Trampolines are a fantastic way to promote physical activity while aiding coordination and motor skills, and most importantly, they provide hours of fun!
But at what age should a child get a trampoline? According to some experts, children should be at least six years old before using trampolines to withstand repetitive jumping.
If you’re wondering which kids’ trampolines are the safest, look for models with no springs, an enclosure net with flexible rods (removing the need for rigid metal poles), and shock-absorbent mats. A Kiwi brand like Springfree ticks all these boxes, ensuring your kids enjoy bouncing fun in the safest possible environment.
To help you choose the perfect trampoline for your backyard, here are the best trampolines for kids in New Zealand the whole family will enjoy.
