[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [quote]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 [/quote] https://www.aappublications.org/news/2019/09/10/focus091019[/quote] 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. [/quote]
