Remember the trampolines that were available when we were kids? I sure do, and I'll tell you what,
NFL Jerseys, they were a lot different than the trampolines that are available today. In fact,
NBA Jerseys, the trampolines I remember were about 3 feet wide and meant for nothing more than jumping up and down vertically until you got tired (or bored). In fact, I think they call those mini trampolines now,

But now,

So what size should you get and why? Let's look at some of the variables to consider.
1. The Size of the Jumpers
The first thing to think about is the size of your jumpers—or the weight,

If adults are going to be getting on to it, you should get a family-sized or jumbo trampoline that is built to support more weight.
2. The Size of Your Yard
Another obvious factor is the size of your yard. You don't want to just squeeze it in where you can make it fit; you need to have adequate room for clearance so that people don't bounce off and hit something close by. Even if your trampoline comes with netting, which is a great safety feature to have,

3. How Much Bounce You Want?
How much bounce do you want your trampoline to have? You can generally assume that the bigger the model,
Wholesale Jerseys, the more bounce it will have. More bounce also means less surface stability, so when children are walking around,
NFL Jerseys, they will need good balance to keep from falling over. This can be good for developing their motor skills, but keep in mind that for smaller children it can be a bit less fun if they can't even stand up.
4. How Active Are Your Jumpers?
What the jumbo trampolines are really good for are active jumpers—not only for the additional bounce but the room to move around. As kids get older and enter their teen years,

5. Big Doesn't Mean Room for More
Keep in mind that a bigger trampoline does not mean the more the merrier. Significant injuries often result when more than one jumper goes at the same time,

So look at all these different variables and think about what size you need to get the ultimate in both safety and fun.
