The Galt folding trampoline has been becoming popular as a recreation item in homes, schools, and private properties.
The Galt trampoline is a nursery junior trampoline with an easy grip handle, to encourage children to exercise and keep fit. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use; the Galt folding trampoline has a tough weatherproof mat and tubular steel frame with a durable coated finish. The Galt folding trampoline is great for developing gross motor skills.

Galt has been around for nearly 175 years, and during that time they learned to develop a few toys. Galt Folding Trampoline is one of the most successful toy developed by Galt, and its demand is still strong even after many years of its debut. As the toddler’s trampolines become popular, many toy manufacturers from the overseas developed cheaper alternatives. Galt Folding Trampoline is one of the most popular toddler trampoline that exists today.
Galt folding trampoline is very well designed, and very stable when assembled. A couple of enhancements that may be due includes (1) making it easier to assemble, and (2) make the bungee cord last longer or eliminate the bungee cord. Typical lifetime of bungee cord is about 6 months to a year depending on frequency of trampoline use. Giddy Up, a division of Elmers Products, who distributes Galt Folding Trampoline is pretty good about replacing broken bungee cord. Bungee cords have a 1-year replacement warranty, so if it ever breaks within the warranty period don’t hesitate to call the merchant or the manufacturer (Giddy Up).
Background
There are variety of sizes and shapes of trampolines exist today from the smaller, personal excercise type that are used in homes to the large outdoor variety types. With popularity of trampolines, trampoline gymnastics became an official Olympics Games in 2000. On a modern trampoline sports, a skilled athelete can bounce up to 10 meters high performing multiple somersaults and twists. With increased popularity of trampoline sports, children and teens may imitate atheletes without proper skills and without adult supervision which results in serious injuries.
I absolutely loved a trampoline as a kid and would love for my son to have a chance to own one! So fun!
These trampolines are great for motor movement. We used them when i worked in a school environment. would be great to have at home for my little ones now!
Great for helping young ones learn their balance and love that it can be used indoors when the weather does not permit outdoor activities. Wears out the little ones so they can have nice long naps!
It looks like it would be loads of fun for active kids and ones that are not it can help them get active. I think it would be great to keep the kids in shape instead of playing hand held games etc.
It would be a great outside toy for the kids to have fun on OR it would be great to have inside to = that way if they want to watch cartoons – they could jump and watch tv too. Plus they could exercise on it while their parents do their exercise on a treadmill etc. It all depends on what you are looking for inside or outside fun for the kids= let them choose !!
As you can tell by my comment – I do not have one BUT I hope to win it for my 4 yr old daughter. Thank you for the chance to enter this contest.
(comment from the 4 yr old daughter – I love jumping , playing and spinning.)
I need to get this product. This wills same me a lot of time.
My kids jump on the beds. I couldn’t stop them. This will solve my problem.
Thanks for such a wonderful idea.
We got this trampoline for our 2 1/2 year old boy and 15 month old girl for Christmas. They both love it! It’s been especially great this winter since we’ve gotten so much snow where we live (MA). It gives them a way to get some energy out on the days when we’re stuck inside. We’ve found this trampoline to be sturdy and fun!
We bought this trampoline for our preschool class at church (the Backyard Buddies). The kids and teachers love it!!! It provides an excellent way to get rid
of the wiggles before storytime and the kids line-up for it week after week!
I also purchased one for my granddaughter for her birthday! Super fun and safe!!!
We’ve had ours for 7 years, when my first was 1 and a monkey child. The bungee cord finally just gave way—after 7 years of pretty constant use by my 2 and all of their friends. That is pretty remarkable considering I just read that it has a 6 month to 1 year life span (bungee cord). We LOVE our trampoline and is such a great thing to have for the long Maine winters! I just ordered a replacement so we can have several more years of use (good thing my kids are small for their age so they get extra years out of it!) Thank you Galt for making a quality piece—which I feel like is a rare thing these days with children’s stuff. I’ve recommended it to many people.
