JumpSport Elite 14' Trampoline with Enclosure ~ Review

With cold weather lasting a good portion of the year here in the Midwest, it's no wonder my kids were ready to run outside and play the moment the temps began warming up. They were especially excited this year, as we moved in the fall from a home that did not have much of a yard to one that is large, flat and a lot of fun! Now that we have the space, I've been on the lookout for fun things the kids can do outdoors...activities that encourage their creativity and things we can do together as a family. Thanks to JumpSport we've found all of that and more in one great product!

Founded in 1997, JumpSport began when CEO Mark Publicover invented the world's first affordable backyard trampoline safety net enclosure. Today JumpSport distributes its top-rated safety trampolines and accessories throughout the world, and its adult Fitness Trampoline at fitness clubs and retailers like Costco. With over 25 patented safety and game innovations, JumpSport continues to create playful, active and educational products for kids and adults of all ages.

For those who visit my blog on a regular basis, you may have read about the fun and engaging iBounce Kids Trampoline from JumpSport that we had the opportunity to review. It's a fun way for toddlers to exercise and learn important skills...and my kids are still having a blast on it! Thoroughly impressed with the safety features and quality of the iBounce, I couldn't have been happier to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review another of JumpSport's unique products... the world’s safest backyard trampoline... the 14 ft JumpSport Elite Trampoline with Enclosure and a 2-step trampoline ladder.

When the 14' JumpSport Elite Trampoline  arrived, we were all excited to get it put together and check it out. It arrived in four large boxes, which initially had me wondering how many parts there were, and how difficult it would be to put together. 

Thankfully though, there was a user-friendly manual included with step-by-step instructions on how to put it together (with helpful pictures). With two people working on it, it took around 2 hours to put together. This was actually less time than I had expected it to take...and the best part...it really was very simple! In no time the trampoline base was assembled. The part that took the longest was installing the springs and getting the enclosure put up.

We had several little ones excitedly awaiting assembly so they could be the first to test it out!

Putting it together went smoothly, and once I saw it completely assembled...I knew this was going to be our new favorite thing to do outdoors...not just for the kids, but my husband and I as well! 

Isn't it a beauty?! I absolutely love the rich dark blue powder coat finish. It blends in nicely with the yard and is very attractive looking. 

Before letting the kids get on and start jump, jump, jumping away...I took a moment to check out all of the many features that make this one of the world’s safest backyard trampolines. I was (and still am) very impressed with the quality of this trampoline. So much thought went into making it safe for users of all ages...which is top priority for this company.

I really appreciate having the frame pad which is UV and water resistant. It's a 21-ounce PVC outer covering with full width, 1 inch thick, gym-quality EPE foam core! It's thick and covers the springs and frame completely. I have peace of mind when my kids (as well as my husband and myself) are using it that we are safe from possible injury due to coming in contact with the frame or springs of the trampoline. 

I also LOVE the Safety Net enclosure! It was probably the most time-consuming part to assemble, but SOOO worth it and shows just how dedicated JumpSport is to safety! I would not use a trampoline without it. It's secure and ensures that anyone jumping on the trampoline is safe from falling off and getting hurt. The net features an overlapping entry which makes it easy for people enter and leave the trampoline, while still keeping those inside, safe. Even the poles that hold it up are padded!

Of course, once I had checked it over...the kids (and adults) couldn't wait to try it out! Although recommended for ages 6+, this trampoline really is fun for the WHOLE family! The day we put it together, we had lots of family over...and the children and adults all had fun...hours of fun! The 2-step trampoline ladder we were sent made it easier for kids and adults alike to get on and off with ease. 

From the day we put up the trampoline, the kids, family and friends have been able to enjoy jumping, flipping, and bouncing for hours on end...and the fun has not ended!

Whenever the weather is nice enough to be outdoors (which has been on and off this spring between rain and tornados!), the kids are always begging to go out and jump away. How can I say no?! It just means I get to go out and jump too! After all, it's not only fun but a great healthy alternative to television and video games, right in our own backyard! The kids and I are able to go out, have fun and be active any time we want to! It's been wonderful!!

Knowing that this trampoline is safe...even when the kids jump into the net or fall on the frame padding...is one of the best things about it! JumpSport has definitely lived up to their reputation of making safety their top priority...it's evident in their high quality, safe products for both children and adults! 

I also love having something the whole family can enjoy doing together. And, when we have visitors...it's the center of fun for everyone. Between the sturdy, high quality steel frame, durable padding and safety enclosure net along with 133 square feet of play space...I see this trampoline not only lasting us a very long time...but also being the source of fun, active play and entertainment for many, many years. Each and every time we get on the trampoline we have more and more fun...I don't see us ever growing bored of using it.

Here's a quick video I put together showing the many unique features of the JumpSport Elite Trampoline, as well as the fun and entertainment it provides!! 

I would definitely recommend the JumpSport Elite Trampoline with Enclosure to others. It's a family-friendly trampoline that truly has it all....safety, quality, and fun! Retailing for $1,149, the 14' Elite Trampoline is an investment...but well worth it in my opinion!
