I don't normaly right reviews on products I've purchased but this item has got me so upset that I'm writing one.
I'm a 30 year old guy and I've been through many trampolines since I was a kid, so I kind of know what I'm talking about. Most of them that I've had have been pretty decent, except for the cheap strap ones, this one is spring based. This trampoline caught my interest because it said it was 44' as opposed to the 38' trampolines which I had always bought in the past. And it was a little pricy so I figured it would be good quality.
First off the shipping took 2 1/2 weeks, that's not a biggie tho, I can deal with that. When I finally got it, it was really easy to put together, I just screwed the legs into place and I had it set up in a couple min. I started jumping on it and for some reason it didn't have the type of bounce I was expecting, and it sounded real squeaky, it wasn't as bad as the cheap strap trampolines but it didn't feel like it had the same bounce as a normal 38' trampoline. It did have a little more space to jump around, so I didn't mind too much I guess.
Now the item description says it has a 220lb weight capacity, that's no prob for me I'm only 165 maybe 170lbs, so I didn't worry too much about the springs breaking or the canvas ripping, which is eventually what happens to all mini-trampolines after using them for awhile. And I figured this one would last longer since it cost more and was larger than any other trampoline I had had. I was wrong! In less than a month of using it a spring busted off while I was jumping on it, the spring went flying across my room and hit my wall chipping some paint off! I jumped right off, I couldn't belive it! I only used it maybe 30 min a day. I've used other trampolines in the past, while weighing the same, and they sometimes take years to do the same amount of wear and tear that I did on this trampoline in a month.
Needless to say I'm very dissapointed with this product as it did not meet up to any of my expectations. This might be good for a 2 year old, but I truly believe the springs on this trampoline are cheaply made. I can't say anything about the Pure Fun 38-inch Trampoline because I've never used it. But judging by how much I dislike this product I don't think I'll be buying any other type of trampoline from this manufacturer any time soon. I feel robbed!

This is large enough for my two and four year olds to jump on, and it's sturdy too.The smaller one (which our physical therapist was bringing) seemed to require my daughter to be very "precise" in jumping (No easy feat with a child with leg problems). this bouncer allows for her being a little clumsy wihtout falling off or landing on the "springs" on the outside of it.Not to mention it's just CUTE ! -- GREAT purchase/// i'm glad I did it.
