Review on Skywalker πŸš€ Space Explorer Trampoline by Trevor Garrett

48 " Perfect for our 6 year old

We chose the 48" trampoline and so far it has been a perfect fit for our 6 year old. We were short on space and it was the right size for our needs. We only use it indoors on a mat. He has a gentle soul, so he hops in the middle without holding on to the frame and has never broken toys. So I assume this trampoline will last a while if used alone. It probably won't last as long as the number of children increases or if they advertise it. Our son is now very tall for his age and his jumps sometimes fly over the net when he jumps but the net is much higher than we have seen in other brands of the same small size and we don't feel threatened. . We like the floor grid so the animals can't get under the trampoline and hurt themselves. The flash works fine. We haven't had any accidents yet. However, assembly turned out to be more difficult than expected. I wasn't physically able to assemble it and I had to call someone for help, which I rarely do. The main problems were that the round frame around the base had to be folded together neatly (big ends into legs). The bungee was very difficult to install as the trampoline has to be quite tight (I couldn't psychologically put them on without straightening my shoulder). Also during assembly you need to go here and look at the photos on Amazon to make sure you attach the bungee correctly. The instructions were useless in this area as they contained conflicting information, numbering and location of the bullets. The rest of the instructions were ok. My only concern is why the pointed screws were used - won't they rub against the inside of the metal frame and possibly cause damage? Because of this, I don't want the ends of the screws to be sharp and pointy. By the way, this trampoline does not fold or simply disassemble, so it stays where you set it up. Overall I think this is the best trampoline in terms of price, size and safety factor. My 6 year old loves it, especially with the astronaut picture. It's too hot in here to play outside for months, so it gives the kids a source of energy that's safe and fun inside.
