Very Happy with Bazoongi 48" Bouncer Trampoline
I have two high-energy kids - a 5 year old boy and a 3 year old girl - so I'd been searching for an indoor trampoline that would allow them to have fun while safely expending some of that amazing kid-energy during the winter. :-)
We researched a lot of trampolines and ended up getting them the Bazoongi 48" Bouncer trampoline for Christmas. It's been a huge hit.
Here are the pros and cons we've experienced so far.
PROS
- As shown in the item image, the blue outer ring completely covers the springs. (This is a big deal when you have little kids as you don't want them to get a foot caught between two of those.) My understanding from reading reviews of other trampolines is that many are not built in a way that fully covers these pieces.
- The Bazoongi Bouncer has six legs which I suspect makes it more sturdy than models that have only four.
- For us, 48" is the perfect size for an indoor trampoline. It's big enough to allow the kids adequate jumping space and yet small enough to fit in our not-so-large living room.
- The bar that is attached to the trampoline for support is fully padded - there are no sharp or metal parts exposed. It's also seems to be a great height for both our kids to hold onto.
- The trampoline allows for good jumping. (It has a nice "bounce", which is obviously very important from a fun-factor perspective.)
CONS
- The weight limit is 80 pounds, so my husband and I can't jump on it (which is a shame as it looks like a lot of fun.) :-)
- Even with the extra two legs, my son (who is around 50 lbs) sometimes seem to wobble it a little when he leans on the support bar too heavily. This is probably our biggest issue with the trampoline, as it makes me a little uneasy. However, to be fair, it's only wobbled when he's leaned very heavily, and he probably shouldn't do that. I suspect if you use it outside you could tether it to stakes in the ground or something and not have this issue.
- Assembly was not as bad as we expected reading some other trampoline assembly reviews. My husband is quite handy and was able to have it up and ready in about a half-hour. He did get his hands pretty dirty though as it comes greased, so you might want to avoid attempting assembly on your light-colored carpeting. :-)
- The cost is more than some of the other models we reviewed, however it really does seem to be a good, sturdy bouncer and I suspect we'll get a lot of use out of it, so I feel it's worth the extra cost.
As with all trampolines, you should never leave your kids alone when using them, and only one child should be on the trampoline at a time. (We had Santa leave a note for the kids with safety rules.) :-)
Hope this is helpful!
