Best Trampolines for Kids UK (2026)
A trampoline's safety features and build quality matter more than bounce height alone, especially after months of year-round British weather. This guide compares trampolines tested by Mumsnet's parent testers with their own children, judged on assembly, safety features, bounce performance and durability, and checked against Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents guidance.
We have not hands-on tested these products. Our picks are based on published independent tests and reviews, listed at the bottom of this page. How we pick.
Our top pick
Plum Space Zone II Trampoline
Best overall
Tested by mum of two Maddie, whose sons have used it heavily for three years and it still looks almost new. The Springsafe 3G enclosure keeps jumpers separated from springs and frame, and assembly proved straightforward, with Maddie's partner building it solo in two hours despite Plum recommending two people, though the ladder is sold separately.
- Springs safely enclosed away from bounce mat
- Weatherproof, rust-resistant galvanised frame
- Relatively quick, straightforward assembly

The 2G Springsafe enclosure and weather-protected foam pads add real reassurance for younger children, though assembly takes just under two hours and is easier with two people.

Best 10ft trampoline
Zero Gravity Ultima 4 10ft Trampoline
Mumsnet found this feels more premium than many similarly sized models, with a patented weldless frame designed for strength and a high 120kg weight capacity suiting older children, teens and even adults. A standout smart folding net lowers or raises in around five minutes without tools, though assembly is very much a two-person job.

- 120kg

- Price guide
- £200

Best for large gardens
TP Toys Up 10ft Trampoline
Mumsnet found this combines plenty of bouncing space with strong safety credentials and very good value, with a patented zip-free IGLOO door removing the usual worries of snagged clothing. The galvanised steel frame felt sturdy and stable in testing, and it's used by Olympic gold medallist Bryony Page, though tying the protective net to the base can be fiddly.
- Age
- 6+

Best for toddlers
Plum Junior Bouncer
Tested by Mumsnet's Deputy Head of Content and toddler mum Laura, whose 19-month-old loves it and feels confident getting on and off independently. The spring-free design uses woven elastic cords for a softer, gentler bounce than metal springs, and Laura found it felt exceptionally stable, though assembly took around 45 minutes and it doesn't fold for storage.

- 18 months+

- Max user weight
- 25kg
- Price guide
- £50

- Excellent grip handle for small hands
- Stable on different surfaces
Cons
- Doesn't fold for storage
- Bright design won't suit every home
- Wide footprint can be awkward in small spaces
Best first trampoline
Chad Valley Toddler Trampoline
Mumsnet found this a reassuringly simple option for introducing trampolining, with a padded frame cover, non-slip feet and a sturdy foam-grip handle to help toddlers stay balanced. It's lightweight, compact and easy to move indoors or outside, though the 20kg weight limit means children will outgrow it fairly quickly.
- Age
- 18 months+
- Size
- 58 x 57 x 58cm
- Max user weight
- 20kg
- Price guide
- £23-£30
Pros
- Affordable first trampoline

- Suitable for indoor or outdoor use
- Lightweight and easy to move
Cons
- Children outgrow the 20kg limit quickly
- Much smaller and more basic than premium toddler models
Best indoor
Galt Nursery Trampoline
Mumsnet found this well-designed for young children, with detachable handle and legs making it easy to store and highly portable at just 4kg for use indoors or outside. It includes a handlebar for stability and padded frame cover, in playful turtle or unicorn designs, though some found it tricky to assemble and pricey for a small trampoline.
- Age
- 12 months-3 years
- Size
- 70cm diameter x 60cm high
- Weight
- 4kg
- Price guide
- £60
Pros
- Detachable parts make storage easy

Cons
- Some find assembly tricky, needs two people
- Pricey for a small trampoline
- 20kg weight limit suits younger toddlers only
Best rectangular
Sportspower Sport-Pro Trampoline
Mumsnet found the rectangular shape gives a more even bounce across the whole mat than round trampolines, thanks to strong zinc-coated springs and a durable jump mat, making it good for children practising skills. It fits neatly in many UK gardens without dominating the space, though it's not suitable for under-sixes and takes around two hours to assemble.
- Age
- 6+
- Size
- 305 x 244 x 278cm (10 x 8ft)
- Max user weight
- 100kg
- Price guide

Pros

- Fits neatly in gardens where round trampolines feel intrusive
- Strong, rust-resistant galvanised frame
- Extra thick outer padding
Cons
- Not suitable for children under six
- Two-person assembly taking around two hours
Best oval
JumpKing Oval Combo Pro Trampoline
Mumsnet found this large, high-capacity model gives plenty of room for children, teens and even adults to bounce comfortably, with a more controlled bounce than a rectangular alternative. It comes as a complete package with ladder, tie-down kit and protective spring padding, though it needs significant garden space and takes time to assemble.
- Age
- 6+
- Size
- 457 x 305 x 270cm (10 x 15ft)
- Max user weight
- 120kg
- Price guide

Buying guide
What size trampoline should I buy?
Choose the largest model that fits your garden while still leaving the manufacturer's required safety clearance, since a bigger trampoline like the 10ft or 12ft models here gives children more room to grow into. An 8ft trampoline like the Plum Wave here is the most popular size among Mumsnet parents and suits smaller gardens well.
Round, rectangular or oval: which shape is best?
Round trampolines are the most common and give a gentle bounce that naturally pulls jumpers back towards the centre. A rectangular trampoline like the Sportspower here gives a more even bounce across the whole mat, favoured by budding gymnasts, while an oval like the JumpKing here combines a generous jumping area with a more controlled bounce than rectangular models.
What safety features should I look for?
RoSPA guidance highlights padded spring and frame covers, a safety enclosure net, and ground anchors to secure the trampoline in high winds. Look for a trampoline tested to the current domestic safety standard, BS EN 71-14:2025, and always supervise children and enforce one-jumper-at-a-time to avoid collision injuries.
Can I leave a trampoline outside over winter?
Yes, most trampolines are robust enough to stay outdoors year-round, but it's worth covering them with a weatherproof cover to protect against rain, frost and snow. If the trampoline feels light, use an anchor kit to stop it moving in storms, or dismantle and store it in a shed or garage for maximum protection.
