Kids Trampoline Models - Best In Childrens' Trampolines
The exploding popularity of kids trampoline models means that there are more brands on the market than ever before.
To the untrained eye, the materials they’re made from seem to be very similar, but nothing could be further from the truth. It becomes even more confusing when every company claims its products are made from the highest quality components.
When shopping for the best trampoline for kids, you want to ensure you really are buying a high quality, safe product.
The Vuly Play R&D Team is involved in every aspect of our product development, from design and material to manufacturing. We don’t just claim that our products are some of the best – we prove it with extensive research and testing.
See why Vuly Play offers quality kids trampolines at great prices and how long a quality trampoline should last for your family.
When purchasing a trampoline it’s crucial to consider the quality of its materials.
At Vuly, our engineers, collaborating closely with our in-house design team, are always working hard to ensure that we create the highest quality kids trampolines.
But what defines quality?
For a start, how does a 10 years warranty on your trampoline frame sound?
That's how confident we are in our trampolines. This is important because the frame is the key component that makes up a trampoline and its components. The steel used in Vuly trampoline frames is twice galvanised on both the inside and outside of the tubes for extra protection from corrosion and rust.
It’s not just the high-quality frame that stands out on a Vuly. We ensure every part of our children trampolines – are made to last.

Kids Trampolines & Safety Standards
You've probably heard that trampolines cause a lot of injuries. With Vuly, these are no more than just myths! Vuly has addressed primary concerns about trampolines expressed to us by parents everywhere!
We understand that there's nothing more important than the safety of their children. Our safe trampolines not only meet the requirements outlined by Standards Australia but exceeds them.
Standards Australia is the country’s leading independent standards organisation.
They specialise in the development of internationally aligned standards for different products in Australia. They are the body behind safety standards AS 4989:2015 Trampolines for domestic use.
This standard introduces trampoline requirements for enclosures, structural integrity, the need for UV-resistant materials, and impact reduction systems.
All of our trampoline models pass these Australian safety standards. Our trampoline enclosures prevent any contact with springs or frame, eliminating impact zones in the bouncing area.
We also provide loop padding connectors and a self-sealing door – just two small (but important) areas in which Vuly goes beyond what’s required. Further proving our commitment to safety, we also meet the requirements for many safety standards published by ASTM International and the European Committee for Standardization.
In short, you can be assured every single aspect is covered when choosing a Vuly trampoline.

How Long do Children's Trampolines Last?
When it comes to the question of how long do trampolines last, there are several factors that need to be considered. Of course, the most crucial factor will always be the overall quality of the trampoline and its materials.
While trampolines are available from most large stores and online – and at very competitive prices – you should always look for the highest quality that you can afford. Take a good look at the frame, jump mat, padding, and net on trampolines that you shortlist.
Here are some of the important aspects that also impact how long a kid's trampoline lasts.
The Frame Quality
A weaker frame is one of the main issues that cause trampolines to break down over time.
Some trampoline manufacturers cut down on price by compromising on the galvanised thickness that fabricates the tubes making up their trampolines. Others use materials that are not correctly treated for exposure to the weather.
Also, think carefully about the age and weight of the potential trampoline users, and make sure the trampoline frame you're looking to buy can support those users. Unlike most other brands, Vuly trampolines take up to 150 kg of weight. Our frames are also twice galvanised, so they won’t bend or break. All Vuly kids trampolines use reinforced square joiners, meaning that the frames are a lot sturdier than the round joiners used in other trampolines. The inherent strength of a Vuly frame also comes from its double-ring foundation – ensuring it's made for the utmost stability.
A trampoline jump mat takes a lot of bouncing over its life.
Not only must it be made of a super-durable material, it's also essential to frequently check that the mat is free from tiny holes and tears, as this will allow you to spot any damage before there is a problem.
Trampoline jump mats with small tears will need to be replaced as soon as possible so that the strength of other trampoline parts – and the jumper's safety – are uncompromised. Jump mats made from polypropylene are stronger than others – especially if they're also UV-treated.
Tested for 40,000 bounces, Vuly trampoline mats are strong and robust, suiting Australian weather conditions. Not only that, even when you're outside of the warranty period, you can still get half-price jump mat for life – along with any other core component of your trampoline. Vuly jump mats even have printed icons on them, for your family to create fun trampoline games and increase the enjoyment that you get from the trampoline.
Watch children bounce and use their imagination to make up contests using the images on the mat!
Trampoline Spring Quality
If you buy a low-price trampoline with springs, you'll need to check the condition of those springs – especially if the safety padding is not to the frame secured over the springs.
Kids trampolines may also break if their springs become overworked and worn out.
Some cheaper trampolines use shorter springs, with smaller diameters than others.
Not only will longer and ‘fatter’ springs outperform the smaller ones for quality and smoothness of bounce, they'll also last a lot longer and won't break as easily.
Take note of the material used to make the coils and if they seem tightly wound and strong.
Vuly springs use thicker hooks, tapered ends, and a chromate conversion coating that safeguards against snapping.
Because they attach to the topside and underside of Lift or Lift Pro frame tubes, Vuly springs activate based on user weight to push bouncers higher.
Not only that, Thunder and Thunder Pro don't even have coil springs to worry about!
The amazing Leaf Spring design from Vuly uses a single piece of shaped steel, with no rivets, to offer a bounce that far surpasses Australian Standards.
What Makes a Heavy Duty Trampoline?
At Vuly Play, we’re often asked what exactly makes a trampoline heavy duty.
Well, not all trampolines are created equal.
Some are designed with sturdier frames, to hold higher weights and to endure rough weather – others are not.
We define a heavy-duty trampoline as one that lasts, no matter the conditions or how much a family bounces on it.
However, unlike what the word ‘heavy duty’ normally implies, these must-have qualities don’t make these trampolines eyesores, at least with Vuly trampolines.
Trampoline Weight Limit
Heavy-duty trampolines can take more weight. Through a combination of a well-designed structure and solidly made components, they are able to rebound much heavier weights than normal trampolines.
This is ideal for larger parents or older children and means that the legs are less likely to buckle or the mat stretch.
Vuly trampolines boast 150 kg weight ratings – among the highest of any trampoline on the market.
