User Submitted Jump Start Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-12-02 No sounds and music on ours, but still a fun toy. My kids--3 years old and 2 years old--LOVE this trampoline and use it multiple times a day. I would give it five stars but ours is defective; the sounds that are supposed to be interactive with the jumping child (counting, etc) have never worked. When they push the buttons, one will make animal sounds and another will play music, but none of the other buttons work and there's no counting or any interaction. I tried several adjustments recommended in the owner's manual and it just doesn't work. However I don't mind, it just means less noise. (It doesn't bother me enough to return or exchange the trampoline.) Other than that, it's a super-fun toy and still a favorite after six months. Extremely durable (which is important for a trampoline), I can see it lasting for years, and with the weight limit at 80 pounds they'll be able to use it for that long. It's a great way to get a little exercise and burn off some energy, especially when we can't get outside because of the weather. If you have the space, this trampoline is useful and fun, definitely worth the money. Date: 2007-12-01 Jumpy Thing Our two year old LOVES to jump and this has been perfect. Our seven year old has enjoyed it too and we were happy that it supports up to 80 pounds. It was difficult to put together, but totally worth it. You definitely need two adults. I wish the songs had a volume control and would love some educational songs or counting songs to go with the jumping. Overall, we are happy with our purchase that has entertained our girls. This is a fun one!!! Date: 2007-11-20 still used almost daily We bought this for our now 4 year old last Christmas. Well, it's almost Christmas again, and she and our almost 2 year old use it almost on a daily basis. When our younger daughter was not even 18 months, she loved to stand on it and "jump". Our friends' kids' go to it immediately when they come over. It takes up a decent amount of space in our den, but we can't get rid of it, because our kids still use it ALL the time. It's very sturdy too. Definitely worth getting! Date: 2007-11-15 A pain to put together but overall awesome! I just purchased this trampoline for my 6 year old, although all three of my children (from 2-7) have thoroughly enjoyed jumping on it. I can't seem to get my 2 year old off of it. I know they do not recommend it for that young of an age but with supervision, they do just fine. They love the "count your jumps" game and try to get a higher number each time. It appears very sturdy although I wouldn't recommend high jumping because it does lift off the ground if they go too high. The only major issue is the process of assembly. I did not have any help when putting it together and although I was able to do it myself, it was VERY frustrating and took forever. There is directions but they are kinda confusing and take looking at them very closely. I would recommend taking their suggestion and getting somemone to help assemble it. Threading the bungee to hold the mat on, was extremely difficult by myself. I am getting a little nervous now that I read the reviews about the bungee breaking but I guess that's the chance you take. I did notice as I was trying to adjust the mat that the bungee was already beginning to fray slightly due to the grommets being too sharp around the edges. I would suggest keeping the company contact info handy. Overall this is a sturdy and very fun trampoline for little kids and a good way to burn all thay pent up winter energy. I would recommend this to a friend. Date: 2007-11-13 Great toy, but don't tighten screws til done with frame assembly! This is a great trampoline. My son has been playing on it like mad since I FINALLY got it together. It seems like a durable toy and has a large jumping space. I really like the chunky handles-great for little hand and for kids with OT problems (weak hand muscles, etc). It is a superb toy at an excellent price and I would recommend it to any parent. It is low to the ground and quite safe. Don't let the tough assembly stop you from buying. It is well worth a little sweat! I must say, though that you will spend a good amount of time getting it together. I have put quite a few things together in my time, but this job literally exhausted me! The instructions are not really good at all and you would be well advised to refrain from tightening the bolts until the frame is completely intact. In addition, you will need 2 fairly strong folks to successfully get the bungee cord fit together. Good luck keeping you kid off while you assemble too. My guy knew this toy was going to be a winner from the moment I got it started.
