Customer Review: Galt folding trampoline
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased the Galt folding trampoline for our 2 year old granddaughter who loves to jump on everything! It took some time to assemble and wrangle with the bungee cord, but it feels very secure. Our grandaughter loves it and now gets "air" when she jumps! "Air" is the space between her feet and the trampoline floor and is an integral part of a pre-schooler's physical development. Her brother is 5 and also enjoys jumping on the trampoline. It is so popular that their parents use a kitchen timer to make turn taking easier. The trampoline is on carpeted flooring and has not tipped in any way. Both children jump with or without holding onto the handle.
The only danger I can foresee is a child jumping off the side of the trampoline and that may easily be remedied by placing the trampoline between a sofa and love seat or a sofa and a wall. So far the children have had lots of fun jumping and the parents have peace of mind knowing that their child is jumping in clear view and on a safe surface.
Customer Review: Toddler's Mommy
Summary: 4 Stars
My son (almost 3 years old) loves his new trampoline. It seems pretty sturdy (so far) but he is able to get the back legs off the ground when jumping. He only weighs 32 lbs but is very active. I worry that the trampoline will flip over one day, especially as he grows and becomes stronger.
I rated 4 stars for education because it allows him to get the "wiggles" out so that he is then better able to concentrate when drawing, reading, etc.
When the package arrived, the box was dry and it did not appear to have ever been wet. However, several of the metal legs/parts are rusty. It doesn't affect the performance, but I would have liked to receive a product without rust. Also, it was missing one screw. My husband had to go to the hardware store and purchase a screw of the same size so that we could complete the assembly.
Overall, I am very satisfied, though. My son loves this trampoline. Despite the rust and missing piece, I would probably purchase one again.
Customer Review: WOW!

This trampoline is awesome. Now I can tell my 5, 3, & 2 year old to get on the trampoline and bounce, not on the sofa and ottoman. It was easy to put together. You will need 2 people to pull the rope tight and get it looped around the connecter piece. This seems to be well put together in it's design. I receive it a month ago and my kids play on it daily. They are on it now as I write this review. They will bounce, bounce, bounce and swing around the bar. The trampoline is easy to move from room to room with the fold in legs and the bar that is removable. The only drawback is if my 5 and 3 year old bounce very aggressivily and put a lot of weight on the bar while they are up in the air the back legs will lift off the ground. They have not tipped it over yet. Just keep a look out if you have an aggresiive child bouncer. We have rule only 1 child at a time, too. I love this trampoline and I think that this winter they can burn alot of energy.Customer Review: Child will love it, but not a value for parents.

My 5 year old loves this, no doubt. He's on it everyday. But after one year, the cord snapped (thank God it's not high off the ground) and my son is only 40 pounds. Now I'll have to pay $20.00 for a replacement cord (not including shipping). Screws popped out easily. If you're on the top floor of an apartmnet, beware of the noise it will make hitting the floor while your child is jumping. All four legs do not stay firmly on the floor. I'm not sure what the ASTM U.S.A. safety uses as it's approval, but mine isn't the only case of a broke cord. I too noticed two screws missing, but I didn't put it together and didn't notice until I saw a screw on floor. I was close to giving this two stars, but the cord is replaceable. I haven't decided if I will replace the cord or get a $30 trampoline from the sporting goods store (no bar). The cord may pop in another year or I might have issues with something else.Customer Review: Not for Fat Kids

My 6 year old son has a thyroid condition that causes him to gain weight rapidly when he eats honey-glazed pork rinds. So we got him this to help him shed some weight and he hates it. He works up a sweat in about 15 seconds and starts to wheeze and cough like an old Buick I used to own. He says it's not fun because there's no game pad...and he's right. How can you make a kid's trampoline without the requisite game pad?
We left it outside and it collects lawn clippings, which the engineers should have thought of. I mowed around it all summer and when the winter freeze killed the grass the paint was chipping which made me so angry that I kicked it and it dented a little. It's like the thing is made of old soda cans. So I took the dented, paint chipping, grass-filled apparatus and decided I'd donate it to the neighbor kids and I haven't missed it one bit.
