Toys and Games Reviews of Galt Folding Trampoline
Customer Review: Son loved it but.....
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought the trampoline for my sons b-day. It came in rather quickly and he loved it. I loved the fact the his feet didn't get stuck in the cords. He was happily bouncing in the play room until about 2 months later he stopped. The blue bungie cord had rubbed against something on the trampoline so much that it frayed and finaly broke. I called the Galt company and in a matter of days a replacement cord was at my door at no cost. Hooraay!! Baby boy can go back to jumping. This time I taped up all the screws thinking it must have been the screws (even though they had rounded edges). Lo and behold it is now about 2 months later and again the trampoline is in pieces in the garage because of the frayed and broken bungie cord.
My son got the trampoline for his birthday in January and it is currently April and once again I have to call Galt. It's a good trampoline....when it's not in the garage.
Customer Review: Great indoor activity for your little jumping bean
Summary: 4 Stars
Ordered this mini-trampoline for my 3-year old. He loves it and wants to jump all the time. The handle is great for safety and for helping him stay put in the middle. The size of the trampoline itself is perfect - not too small. I was surprised that the edges aren't more padded; the metal frame does have a cover but virtually no padding. However, it hasn't been an issue as he does jump in the middle and stops to sit down and get off. The bungee cord broke after two months' use, which seems a little extreme, but the company has said it will ship another cord free. I really like that we can fold it up and slip it under a bed for storage, but it usually stays out most of the time as my child loves this trampoline. It's been great for early morning rev-ups and for rainy days. Well worth the investment.Customer Review: Little expensive for what it is...
Summary: 4 Stars
Seems to be a little pricey for what it is, but it seems to be a decently sturdy product. Not sure about the bungee cord yet...
As stated by other reviewers, it took help from another person. Just to hold tension as I pulled more of the bungee from where it was already laced through. It wasn't a very difficult assembly. Just make sure that you look at the picture and ensure proper placement of the attachement for the handle. I put the frame together wrong and did not figure it out until I tried to place the cover on (then had to take it completely apart and repeat). The directions weren't clear about the frame assembly. Even with that misstep, it only took me about 45 minutes.
The kid I bought it for absolutely LOVES it, though. We'll see how it holds up...
Customer Review: constant repairs needed

our friend gave us this to use in our apartment for the children to have a way to burn energy indoors, which is BRILLIANT, and the only thing i like about this purchase. it's a great idea. however, after only a few jumping rounds, the screws are all loose on the base, the handlebar is noisy from needing to be tightened and the blue rubber leg covers are dry rotting, thus rubbing blue spots into my rug. lastly, as others have stated, the bungee cord snapped and my 55lb daughter landed straight onto the floor. thankfully, it wasn't a small child and there were no injuries! i would NOT recommend this brand. maybe there is a better one out there? the idea is so perfect for apartment living with small, energetic children :) this one just requires too much maintenance.Customer Review: Great toy, but issues with durability
Summary: 3 Stars
I used to think Galt had great customer service...I called them once because a screw came loose and they sent a new one right away. Now, though, the bungee cord has broken (after the 12-month warranty) and they want TWENTY DOLLARS for a replacement. It's unfortunate they're trying to make a profit on replacement parts...what a customer turn-off! Besides, the bungee cord should have lasted. We use the trampoline only a few weeks out of the year, and our son weighs 50 pounds--nowhere near the 70+ pound maximum.
My son loves the toy, and I used to suggest the Galt trampoline to our friends, but after this experience I'll suggest they try others. I hate getting ripped off for replacement parts when the company should have built a sturdier toy to begin with.
