5 best trampolines for your backyard, in UAE, for 2024 | Bestbuys-lifestyle – Gulf News

Exercise outdoors, or let children burn off energy, on sturdy, spacious outdoor trampoline

With cooler weather comes the opportunity to get active and enjoy some fresh air. But are your little ones reluctant to leave behind their tablets or video games? If so, they may need a little motivation.

Enter trampolines. With proper supervision, these backyard additions make for a fun and exhilarating way to exercise within the boundaries of your home. Adults, too, can benefit from jumping on a trampoline – it’s known to improve heart health, develop balance and coordination, and relieve stress.

But to decide which one is best for your family, it’s important to know how much outdoor space you have, for installation. Trampolines are best placed in an open and safe area, ideally on soft grass. Most trampolines come in either round or rectangular configurations. While athletes prefer rectangular ones since they offer an even bounce and more rebound control, you’d be better off going for a round one for children. This is because the perimeter springs in such trampolines pull jumpers towards the centre with each bounce, making them the safest choice.

Also, consider the size and weight capacity of the trampoline. If you’re looking for one for adults, opt for larger trampolines, which tend to have greater weight capacity. If multiple children will be using the trampoline, they would also require larger versions, from 14 to 16 feet. For solo jumpers and younger kids, a trampoline between 8 to 10 feet should be sufficient.

We’ve scoured user reviews and top ratings on Amazon to curate a list of the safest trampolines, in a range of sizes and budgets. Shop below, with Prime membership, and get ready to spend memorable moments with your family outdoors this winter.

A safe trampoline that won’t be an eyesore in your backyard, Jumpzylla’s Recreational Trampoline comes in six sizes, but we selected the 12-feet iteration for families with two or more children. Its powder-coated steel frame is sturdy and durable, and doesn’t rust over time, even with months of use. The trampoline complies with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards for safety, so there are many safety considerations here that you’ll appreciate – from curved poles and a durable ladder to thick, padded covering over the springs, and a ring around the top that keeps everything in its proper place. The net used here, is made from high-density material, and offers some resistance, so you don’t have to worry about your children crashing into the curved bars. The entryway also has a double zipper buckle lock to keep kids safe within. Overall, it checks all the boxes for a safe, high-quality trampoline for young families. Reviewers say the only downside is that the mat doesn’t stay put over the spring coils, and requires frequent readjustment. But that’s a small price to pay for this sturdy, stylish trampoline.
