My 5 year old opened this for Christmas yesterday and immediately loved it. It has a lot more bounce than the mini exercise trampoline we have and, as a high energy child, it's a great outlet for her.  Unfortunately, the padding around the base won't stay on which is incredibly frustrating and has tripped her several times. I don't forsee this trampoline lasting long. It's not very sturdy or well made. I wish I would have read reviews before purchasing.
