Thoughts on a Trampoline
-
Curious to know your thoughts on a trampoline for the kids?! We love the idea, but worry about injuries or having friends come over and get injured. Do you have one? What do you think about this? Are we worrying too much?

I feel like the risk of injury is high, although our pediatrician owns one for her family so I figure it can't be that bad hahaha
But as I'm thinking about it, I haven't heard of anyone getting hurt on a personal trampoline (something that required going to the doctor) but I have heard of several injuries/broken bones from trampoline parks

I was worried about the same things and kept going back and forth even though the kids were asking for one. Then my husband randomly showed up with one and so I just went with it. That being said, it was the best activity that all four of our kids (ages 3-11) loved. We had it for about 1 year and no major injuries or accidents (except me trying to do a back flip). It was a cheap trampoline and sadly did not last so we got rid of it. But I highly recommend! Great exercise for the kids and fun for all ages! We plan to get another one.

Husband is a neurosurgeon and is not a fan.

We did one for Christmas and it has been the absolute best for our family. The kids play together outside, stay moving etc
I do worry about injuries but that’s part of childhood? Try to mitigate by having a net and some solid rules/boundaries -
we don’t have one but our neighbors do, great balance for me
