Sorry it makes me so mad that people blame everything on trampolines when they have no idea how safe they really are. Everyone hears all sorts of stories and just assume its the trampolines fault, well unless the trampoline gets up and moves, its usually the persons fault.
Ours has a little latch so that kids cant get in or out if an adult has latched it. I like that for keeping the daycare kids out when it is off limits during daycare hours. Dont want any rascals sneaking in there and getting hurt!!

we have one for my own kids, its off limits to daycare kids. My kids love it and we have many safety rules in place for them. I actually DON'T have swings because I feel kids get hurt on them more often than on a trampoline (no clue on real statistics, just my experience).

Definitely agree that trampolines are dangerous, but if you are going to buy one make sure you buy the enclosure as well. That is a must! Again never ever and I mean ever leave a kid by themself on a trampoline. My two kids love to bounce around in our trampoline that we bought them and I always am out there when they are jumping around. We bought our trampoline and enclosure from this place http://www.frugah.com/Trampolines-s/42.htm

I've thought about it but our home owners insurance doesn't allow them. I'm not sure if they'd drop us or we would just get a higher rate etc but it's not really worth it to me to find out heh. We do have a place called the sensory gym here that has a trampoline and my own kids LOVE it. They get to use it there, I don't need to worry about insurance inspectionsPlus, I'm on the water. Parents are already a bit nervous with that,I don't need to make them even more nervous with a trampoline even though they (the enclosed padded ones) don't really bother me personally.

I am not a "trampoline hater", but I would never have one for daycare. To much liability. As a parent I wouldn't have an issue with my child on one with proper supervision. But there is a huge difference between my child and someone else's child. There are lots of things I would do with/or allow my child to do that I wouldn't do with a DCK. Also I think some things are up to each parent to decide on a case by case basis.

I have a question about trampolines, but not those big ones you put in the yard, the smaller ones, but with the enclosure. I loved them all my life, I practically grew up on them and I wanted to ask you; do you think that those small ones are also dangerous? I am referring to the small ones like the ones in the post? I am sad to hear that you don't approve trampolines, I have 3 sisters and a brother (big family) and we didn't think they were dangerous. (again, only the small ones, preferably with enclosure)
