Why go to the gym when you have a personal piece of exercise equipment in your very own backyard? :)

If you have exercise moves you’ve thought of that work on the Springfree, share them with us!

The days of the quarter acre block a distant memory, it’s amazing how much smaller backyards seem to be getting.

So with less square footage to play with, what gets real estate space in backyard these days?

Obviously, we hope that it’s going to be a Springfree™ Trampoline, but what else vouge in family outdoor life?

According to one news story from Adelaide, the top backyard priorities for families are:

1) Trampolines

2) Sandpits

3) Swing Sets

4) Cricket bats

5) Balls

Unfortunately, the trampolines referred to will be dangerous spring designs… but there you go.

So what’s your number one pick? And what’s important to you as you choose outdoor products?

​

The Parent’s Choice Foundation has selected Springfree™ Trampoline as one of the winners of its coveted 2009 children’s toy awards, a huge honor that we are very proud receive.

Established in 1978, The Foundation is the nation’s oldest nonprofit guide to quality children’s media and toys and is trusted by parents for their objectivity, respect, and expertise in child learning and development, helping make informed decision about the right products for their children.

According to the Foundation, Trampolines were not usually recommended however the Springfree™ Trampoline’s unique design has changed history.

Although our judges are not in the habit of awarding trampolines, the Springfree™ Trampoline had so many unique safety features that they couldn’t deny. Our testers, ranging in age from six to sixty-six, found skills they hadn’t known, confidence that needed reawakening, and a hefty dose of much needed family fun. If your family has been thinking about a trampoline, this is highly recommended and worth serious consideration.

This Award reflects Springfree™ Trampoline’s commitment to safety and innovation and is a testament of parent’s belief in choosing the safest products for their children. Trampolines provide so many developmental and health benefits but until the Springfree™ Trampoline the benefits were outweighed by the risk.
