[blparent] Trampolines, yes or no?

[Dianna Alley]

my motto is all kids get hurt yeh they are dangerous but if i could I would 
have one.  I mean your child could fall and bust their head just as quick as 
falling off that.  anything can be unsafe if used in a way that is unsafe.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes!


I need all your opinions on outdoor trampolines.  My husband feels they are
not safe, and should not be used if I am alone here with the kids.  So, we
don’t have one.  We are outside of town, no public transit here, so if
someone got hurt, I’d have to call my folks or the ambulance.



Do any of you have a trampoline?  What are your concerns, and what are your
rules about it?

I ask because I have one child who is impulsive and very much a kinesthetic
learner.  He needs lots of body movement to have a good day without getting
into too much trouble.  A large outdoor trampoline would help him, but I’m
worried about accidents and ER trips.   I agree with my husband that it’s
peace of mind not to have one, so is there something else we could use
that’s just as stimulating?



Thanks for your opinions.

Sonja
