Bought a cheaper, inferior trampoline and very disappointed. Would love a Spring free like our neighbours have! – I am a grandmother caring full time for two grandchildren aged 5 and 6. I was advised to purchase a trampoline 4 years ago when the children came into my care. I opted for a cheaper brand than Springfree and have regretted it ever since. My neighbours who have twin boys aged 7 purchased a Springfree around the same time as I purchased my cheaper brand and it still looks like new despite constant use. My grandchildren keep asking when we can have a Springfree trampoline like theirs! My inferior brand has not stood the test of time and is showing multiple, obvious signs of wear. As an aged pensioner I regret not researching trampolines through Choice Magazine I have always relied on throughout my life and who highly recommend Springfree for safety and durability. If I had my time over and the chance to spend the extra on a Springfree given the safety and durability I would definitely do so!
