The best trampolines that are safe for children

It may come with a higher price tag, but the Springfree Compact Round Trampoline is award-winning for its safety features and provides plenty of jumping room. Ideal for smaller gardens and soft bouncing for little jumpers. It's innovative in its design with no springs, meaning while it's still compact at 8ft, it actually gives you more jumping space, unlike normal trampolines, where you can't bounce near the edge. There's also a FlexiNet™ safety net enclosure with no hard metal poles, a SoftEdge™ mat and a hidden frame to keep your child super secure while playing. It comes with a 10-year warranty, so you can splash the cash on this bouncer without worry!

One mum says: "We've only got a small city garden but the compact spring free fits perfectly. It's a bit more than I wanted to pay but it's a brilliant design and definitely the right choice for our family. VERY happy." Another parent review said: "Great customer service. I would definitely recommend buying the installation service, it was a God send!"

The Plum Junior Jungle Trampoline with Sounds has four motion-activated jungle sounds. It even has a colourful, safety pad with jungle patterns.

Easy to assemble with 2 people (compared to how I imagined!) and excellent, easy-to-follow instructions with good packet system for all the small bolts and screws.
