Toys and Games Reviews of Galt Folding Trampoline
Customer Review: Not a good design
Summary: 1 Stars
Had this trampoline for a year, and had to replace the bungee cord 3 times, the first time Galt replaced at no charge, but every couple of months the cord would break again. At $20 a cord, I wasn't going to keep replacing it,especially for the price I paid for the trampoline. I put electrical tape on the screws and anywhere there was metal or a rough edge rubbing against the cord, unfortunately it has metal grommets and I believe that is the problem. I put it out for the trash this morning, and I'm buying one that has plastic grommets. Other than this problem, my kids loved it, unfortunately it sat broken most of the time because I got so tired of having to replace the bungee cord....AND my kids didn't use it constantly, so it's not a very good design in my opinion.Customer Review: Great toy, but does not "fold"..
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all I must say that we love this trampoline. It provides hours of fun for my two kids. It was a little tough to put together, but once done it's great!
IT IS NOT A FOLDING TRAMPOLINE, as it is called. We have a very small house and this feature was a major influence in our decision. However, it does not fold. I was under the impression that I could easily fold it up and store it when we weren't using it.
The Handle Bar actually just unscrews (remove the bolts) and it comes off. But, you still have the legs that are about 8 inches high off the ground and they do not fold. So, this item can not be stored so easily. Plus, you have to make sure you store the handle bar safely and without losing the bolt and nuts.
Customer Review: Do Not Buy - Will Fall Apart in Weeks
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm warning everyone out there about buying this product. I got it for my[...]son this past Christmas. He is on the autism spectrum and I thought it would be fun for him. He only weighs 40 lbs and is well below the maximum recommended weight for this product.
Within a month, the bungee cord that holds the entire trampoline together had snapped, rendering it useless. [...]
Two weeks ago, I broke down and paid $[...] for a replacement bungee cord. Today, that snapped as well. Four months after purchasing this product, and with less than two months of actual use, this trampoline is going in the garbage.
My son is devastated, and I'm very disappointed in all the money I've wasted on this thing.
Customer Review: Great at first, then...
Summary: 3 Stars
We got this trampoline as a Christmas gift for our 4 year old daughter. The assembly was no problem except for the bungy. It is very difficult to tighten. It untied after the first 30 minutes of use. My bad.
I then used a clamp to hold one end of the line taut while I tied the other through the clip. After both sides were secured in this manner, there was still way too much give. I ended up making a series of double overhand knots pulling the line tighter against the frame in order to give it reasonable bounce.
After 2 weeks of use, the bungy frayed and snapped. My daughter is very upset as she loves to jump. I'm about to try and contact Galt to get a FREE replacement bungy. Otherwise, I'm sending this back.
Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
Our 20 month old Daughter loves jumping. Before buying this trampoline, she would walk up to any object she could hold on to, and jump on the floor. Now she has a handle, and a surface much more springy than the floor. She LOVES IT. Her favorite is watching "jumping J" on Sesame Street's "All Star Alphabet" video while jumping in time with the letter "J". I was skeptical after reading reviews, and expected to receive a low-quality, cheaply constructed trampoline. That was not the case. I am a mechanical engineer, and I was very impressed with the level of quality, and sturdiness of construction. The price seemed high to me as well, but after receiving the item I have no regrets. To me, it is worth the price.
