Trampoline for 3 year old?

[Anonymous]

Which trampoline do you recommend for a kid who is 3 and 4 months? Indoor and affordable in price probably, but open to any suggestions.

Trampolines are not safe. It is a poor parenting decision

I bought a small exercise trampoline ten years ago for my now 14yo. Not a kids' trampoline, but the low to the ground round trampolines they sell for adults. It's worked just fine for getting energy out.

My ER doc spouse would agree that they are not safe.

Relax people, she is talking about a small indoor trampoline. Look on amazon. I bought a parent and child trampoline with a handle bar in the middle. When child got older, I took off the handle bar. about 55 inches, oval shape. Not even enough space to do backflips, just jump

Nope

I had one for my son at that age. It was triangular with a handle. Only way to burn off the last bit of energy at night.

We had a square one with a handle. It had bungie cords, not springs. go for it, OP! We are very risk averse and those kinds of trampolines are FINE.

I have this one, bought for my then 3 years old daughter (6 now). She was not interested until her little brother turned 2. Then they started playing with each other, filling the trampoline with plastic balls. Now they play with it once for a while. It's still in the playing room because I have a 7 months old. Like with all the toys, it was played with a lot at the beginning and tapered off. It's fun while it lasts and safe.

I would suggest to wait with this till post covid..
it is pretty risky equipment with TONS of injuries every year and if your child will end up in ER or hospital you are exposing them and the whole family to the virus.

Younger children are much more likely to sustain an injury on a trampoline, especially when bouncing with an older or larger child. These young children have the highest risk of severe injuries, including spine and lower extremity fractures.
etween 2002 and 2011, there were over 1 million emergency department (ED) visits for trampoline injuries with the vast majority in patients younger than 17 years

+1. There are a lot on amazon, look for the mini indoor rebounders with handlebars.

This is unhelpful since the majority of people have full size outdoor trampolines.

The small indoor trampolines with handles that are used for preschoolers are a staple of occupational therapy. The bouncing helps with balance and it burns off energy. It is great especially for sensory seeking kids. But just like bubble gum and sucking lollipops are things that can calm a child with SPD, they also work for kids who don't have SPD.

Bouncing also increases the circulation of lymph fluids.

Indoor trampoline is totally fine, OP. Get one with a handle. Have a rule that your child needs to hold the handle. Have a rule of only one child on it at a time.

My kids have had their share of visits to urgent care and ER and nothing was related to the indoor toddler trampoline.

We got an indoor rebounder (in the adult exercise section at costco) For my kid at that age. We’ve had it 8 years—no injuries. You just jog/jump on it—no flips and you don’t get much air.

This is what we got:

Small Indoor trampolines are safe and a lifesaver right now. They aren’t doing flips, drops, etc just bouncing up and down on feet and it really helps calm my son,s nerves.
