Has anyone bought one of these or know anything about them that I should know? I am thinking of getting one for my kids for Christmas.

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for that link, they look pretty good to me.
I designed and built a playground for the blind school at NTH Rocks a few years ago and place a spring trampoline in a pit so it was flush with the ground and then placed 400mm wide rubber conveyor belt over the springs held with wire ties at the ends - very successful and safe, cost me about $100 for the roll of belt.
Mind you those nets on the springless ones look very safe' it looks though you might be able to slip past the net on the edge- I cant tell from the photo.
If you do buy one let me know iff its as good as it looks.
Cheers

Hello Jeremy,

We bought one for our kids last Xmas and it's been brilliant. We bought the "Springfree" brand and they are exxy (cost us around $1500 from memory). I then had the job of putting it together in the shed on Xmas eve. It's still there, it was too big to remove. Well, not really, you can put a fair bit of it together and quickly move it into position and erect it in about 15 minutes.

They are incredibly safe. When the kids are in there they can throw themselves in any direction, at the walls and so on, and they are perfectly safe. We've concluded that the only way a child can hurt themselves is to either jump out of it (they'd have to try hard) or to bump into each other.

The bottom line, they are very safe, easy enough to put together, well made, but quite expensive....

thanks, Rossluck. That's what it looks like to me too, but great to have your confirmation.
I'm happy to spend the money, but I do want it to live up to its publicity.
