As others have stated, it is a great toy but once a part goes (i.e. bungee cord), Lillian Vernon does NOT have replacement parts. L.V. told me I should have no problem if I call the hardwares stores. I have called several stores and they don't carry bungee cords for trampolines. . Too bad they did not do their research properly!

This WAS a great product while it lasted. The bungee is now totally frayed and the Trampoline mat is on its last leg. One of the corners is wearing out and looks like its about to give way any day now. I called LV to get a replacement, but they dont even have parts available for purchase!! I'm very upset and I dont know where else to turn for replacement parts. Anyone have any info?

 
The Worst Trampoline I have ever seen...

My daughter got this trampoline from her grandparents as an early birthday present. She is 3 years old and 39 pounds, well within the guidelines. She had it for 2-3 months and the cord just snapped in three places! I have never seen a trampoline that is supported with a single bungee cord, but not wanting to hurt her grandparents feelings we let her play with it and my daughter absolutely loved it! She was in tears and completely distraught when my husband and I had to take it away because it broke.

Service & Delivery comments:

While the customer service lady was friendly. I am completely disgusted that a $65 dollar item doesn't have any individual replacement parts, and basically that money is down the tubes because the company will not replace it after ninety days. It broke right after the 90 day period, and it took me about a week or two to call in to customer service. Even if I called right away it wouldn't have been replaced or mattered. Instead my husband has to try to find a bungee cord long enough to fix it himself. The biggest waste of $65 dollars and worst customer service policy I have ever seen!

This was THE best purchase I've ever made for my kids (as far as toys go!) We use it indoors in our family room to encourage gross motor while watching tv, talking, etc. Every kid that enters our house LOVES it. I've had it for nearly 2 1/2 years and the cord is just now starting to fray. EXCELLENT purchase!

I read the reviews prior to buying... yes, tricky to put together so I planned for it but , let's face it, some things are! Yes, our cord wore out, after 8 months of CONSTANT use. I don't see how it couldn't unless it was a steel cable! [...] I was worried my kids would fight about taking turns and I'd be constantly policing it. For the most part, they are pretty good. When we have friends over, they have more trouble sharing since it is newer for them.

This started out as a decent toy, and our son loved it. After a couple of weeks outside, though, it was obvious that the bungee cords wouldn't withstand UV. A couple of months after that, despite moving it indoors, the bungees had rotted through.Lillian Vernon won't replace the item after 90 days. They also won't sell you a replacement bungee. EVEN IF YOU OFFER TO PAY, THEY WON'T SELL YOU A REPLACEMENT BUNGEE.So if you want to pay [$] for 3 months of entertainment, go ahead. But be prepared to toss it after that.

Bottom Line:

My son really enjoyed this trampoline until the bungee cord started disintegrating less than a year after we purchased it. We have tried to locate a replacement bungee cord, but have not been able to find one with the necessary hooks to securely attach it. We contacted Lilian Vernon customer service, but since we had purchased the product more than 90 days ago, they would not replace it and were unable to help us find a replacement bungee cord. The service rep even told me other customers had the same problem with this toy, but there was nothing they could do about it! This toy does not last and is NOT weather resistant, so save your money. There are other mini-trampolines at amazon.com and toysrus.com that may be more sturdy. We are going to have to throw ours in the trash.

We got this 2 years ago when my daughter started getting occupational therapy. It has been wonderful for her. My little brother also enjoyed it. It has been a hit with every child that has come to our house. My son was bouncing on it pretty much as soon as he could get on it. The handle grip only lasted a few month which wasn't really a big deal. The cord is now falling apart but I still really can't complain. It is used constantly by a child who weighs between 50-60lbs

Bottom Line:

My husband and I first saw this product at a little kids indoor gym and thought it was wonderful. We bought it PRIMARILY for indoor use. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but we haven't had any trouble with the bungee or warping. It's absolutely perfect for the playroom, not too big and offers loads of fun for our little girl (2yrs). Our only disappoinment was when we found out it was made in China (failed to research it more before buying, so it was our fault!). Otherwise we're thrilled with it.

Service & Delivery comments:

Took quite some time, ordered at the end of Novermeber and become worried we weren't going to get it in time for Christmas. Box came torn and barely held together with postal tape...but everything was there and intact.

We bought this for our 3 year old and for about 6 months there wasn't two hours that went by at home without him jumping on it. Our baby learned to jump on it before she could walk. All visiting kids were enthralled by it. It WAS truly a hit. Unfortunately the bungee cord broke after about 6 months of regular use by active but lightweight kids. If I can get a replacement cord from Lillian then I'll be tickled.

The trampoline is lots of fun for young children. It's a great indoor gross motor activity for my classroom.
It was very difficult to put together, though! It required myself, my husband, AND our son all pulling and stretching the bungee cord to get it together. The diagram is very small and hard to see, and you have to follow the lacing diagram EXACTLY, as the pattern changes on each side. If not laced correctly, the frame warps and the legs will not all touch the ground.

My 27-month son, a born jumper, loves this! He hops and laughs all day inside the house. He's big for his age, too, and this still is great for him! The soft handle grips only lasted 3 weeks before they wore off. We are going to get some pipe insulation to replace them. It was not too bad to assemble, especially if you are used to "some (meaning a lot) assembly required." But I can see how some found it difficult. I think most children will love this!

My 3 year old loves this and uses it every day. She gets so much enjoyment from it every day. I think the exercise is great for her when we can not go outside. My 6 and 8 year old love it too but the mat tore after only a few days of use. This is probably best for ages 3-5, up to 50 lbs. if you want it to last.

Like others, we found assembly directions unclear and difficult. It was worth the hassel as our 4 & 6 year old LOVE to jump on it. We feel it is safer than the larger trampolines and like that it is light enough to move inside on rainy/cold days and outside for nice ones. We have very high energy kids and this seems to be the perfect thing for them to play on! We almost purchased a triangular shaped mini-trampoline, but am glad we didn't as this one has a much larger jumping area and is weather resistant. No more jumping on the couch and beds...

My daughter loves it. And its very safe. These two facts alone make the extra effort of putting it together worth while. You will need two adults to put this together. The most difficult part is connecting the large bungee strap ends together. The rest is easy, but it does take time. It took me about 1 hour by myself.

Finishing assembly was tricky; my husband had to hold one end of the cord while I stretched the other end to meet the hook. Looking at it now, it isn't square and I'm wondering if the sides were labeled correctly. One leg does not meet the ground and when my 4 or 6 year olds (neither of whom is anywhere near 75 lbs) jump on it, the whole thing rocks and bounces off the ground on one side.

I've been looking for a safe, small trampoline for my daughter for awhile. This one seems to be the one. So far it has proven to be safe (but we had a chat about using it first and safety rules that needed to be followed) and tons of fun. My only complaint came during assembly. Lacing the middle part and getting it centered up was difficult for me. I thought I had decent arm strength, but lacing and centering took me WAY longer than I would have thought necessary.

After my son used a similar trampoline during occupational therapy, I knew I had to find one! This is a great thing to have at home and both of my children LOVE it. My son was dismissed from OT, but he still needs to get some energy out and get some feedback to his joints and this is the perfect tool. It is in our livingroom and both kids go to it when they know they need it. It is great. My sister got one for her kids after they had used ours and I ordered one for my nieces that were premature and have minor developmental delays. It is a wonderful outlet for ANY child! Teach your children to use it safely and you'll be very pleased with this trampolene!

Concept is great but the product arrived with very little instruction. It would have been returned for a refund but my granddaughter wouldnt hear of it!! Of course, she wanted it assembled so she could play with it.

 
Secured my standing as favorite Auntie!

We ordered this trampoline for our 3-year old niece for her birthday. The day they received the package, her parents could barely get it out of the box before she started jumping on it. Sophia absolutely LOVES her "champoline" and I have secured myself as the best Auntie in the whole wide world - what more can you ask?

 
Ok, but not the safest toy
By manther225Verified Purchaser from Cincinnati, OH on 7/18/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Bright, Durable
Cons:
Unsafe
Best Uses:
Living Room
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The trampoline was fine until my 3 year old niece really started jumping on it. As she was jumping, the back of the trampoline was coming off the ground. This isn't safe and I worry that if she is jumping when nobody is watching, she may fall forward and hurt herself.

 
A must for special needs kids
By Mom to 13 from Chicago IL on 7/13/2007
Pros:
Great therapy tool
Cons:
Padding easy to destroy
Best Uses:
Children
Describe Yourself:
Parent
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My special needs son loves to hop on his knees which caused us concern. He is now able to hold the handle and hop on his feet stretching those tight Cerebral Palsy muscles in his legs. My older children are too big to jump with out damaging the unit. So I would recommend purchasing this for the use of only younger children.

 
Can't live without it!
By Kate from Eden Prairie, MN on 7/8/2007
Pros:
Entertaining, Fitness, Fun, Interactive
Cons:
Bungee cord broke
Best Uses:
Children
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Even in Minnesota where it snows half the year, my kids get exercise on it every day. They can blow off steam and love jumping to music. A must for people with small children who need to keep kids active year round. One fault, we wore out the bungee cord and can't find a replacement with the appropriate hooks. The bar and jump pad are like new and it's wasteful to throw them away, but may be left no choice! Hours of fun!

 
And he's off...
By ScrappyVerified Reviewer from New Jersey on 7/3/2007
Pros:
Entertaining, Fun
Best Uses:
Small children
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My niece loves this thing. She jumps on it every chance she gets. Although it is not recommended, we had 3 kids jumping on it at one time. It is pretty durable and I always know where she is. It is easy to assemble and there is no learning curve.

 
great product. great value
By Cyric612Verified Reviewer from Clayton, N.C. on 6/29/2007
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This was the prefect product for my three year old that had trouble learning to jump. Now everytime someone comes to the house he runs over to show off how well he can jump. My one year old walks up to it and starts jumping on it too. I like it because the jumping area is bigger than some of the other trampolines I have seen. I was so glad that a friend introduced us to this trampoline. I was looking at comparible trampolines for double the price......literally.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This trampoline is the greatest invention. My daughter is a little over weight and it is hard to get out and exercise in the winter. I put this up in my living room and my kids live on it all the time. They don't know that it is healthy all they know is that it is fun. I bought one for my niece too.

Wonderful, wonderful product!!
By Mom of 2+1Verified Reviewer from Beale AFB, Ca on 6/12/2007
Pros:
Can Withstand Use, Entertaining, Fun
Best Uses:
Children
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My 3y/o son was ready to jump on this the second it was put together. We got it last September for his birthday. He has sensory needs and is autistic and this really stimulates him! He LOVES it. And, my almost 5y/o daughter loves it too and so do ALL the kids that come over. I'm a little afraid of some of the bigger kids getting on it and breaking it, but it has held strong so far! I couldn't have asked for a better mini tampoline!

 
Lots of fun and good exercise
By GrammaVerified Purchaser from Bedminster, NJ on 6/7/2007
Pros:
Lots of bouncing fun, Very sturdy and colorful
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My 3 year old granddaughter loved it and so did her young party guests ages 3-7. Lots of great bouncing for either indoors or out. It's easier to assemble with two people - good directions.

 
Fantastic Product for Kids
By km from Middletown, NJ on 5/29/2007
Pros:
Can Withstand Use, Entertaining, Fun
Best Uses:
Family
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My son who's nearly 10 has ADHD. When he gets home from school, he jumps on the mini trampoline to burn off energy before homework. In between the homework assignments for the different school subjects, he takes a few minutes to jump on the mini trampoline, which breaks up the homework monotomy. Since the trampoline has a handle, my 2 1/2 year old toddler can also use it safely. This is a great product. You need to know, though, that it's not collapsible. I love this product. I think it's a terrific investment at [$]. After the first week, I felt I had already gotten my [$] worth.

Actually perfect for small children.

Cons:
Troubling to set up bunge
Best Uses:
Home play area
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Mine lasted about two years, I have three children- somehow all three damaged it over time becuase the bungee cord weakened and eventually snapped. I think it is perfect for the stated weight limits. I was careful to only let one on at a time. My kids would jump on it to music.

 
Broken in 6 months
By Loves to Jump from Rhode island on 5/9/2007
Pros:
Lightweight
Cons:
Tough To Store
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The bungee cord strings snapped and broke in 4 different places after six months of use. My 3 year old son LOVED this trampoline and used it everyday, as he has sensory needs. Unfortunately it is now siting broken in our basement.
