Marigold Glen Toddler Trampoline with Safety Net — Orange

Some energy has to go somewhere, and by four o’clock on a rainy Tuesday it is usually going up the stairs. The Marigold Glen is a toddler trampoline sized for that problem: a 38-inch jumping mat, thirty elastic bungees doing the work springs usually do, and a 43.5-inch enclosure net that closes with a zipper on the outside. It measures 52 inches across and 55.5 inches tall, so it fits a corner of the playroom or a level patch of lawn, and the curved metal legs sit on non-slip foot pads that hold their place without marking the floor.

Why families love it

• A net that closes from the outside. The 43.5″ enclosure surrounds the mat on every side, and the two-way zipper sits on the outer face so it is not undone from within.
• Bungees instead of springs. Thirty high-resilience elastic bungees give the bounce, and the maker describes the seamless construction as a guard against small feet getting caught.
• A mat made for repetition. The breathable PP jumping mat measures 38″ across; the maker reports 100,000 bounce cycles and 5,000 hours of UV testing behind it.
• Steady underfoot. Heavy-duty metal pipes, a double-layer frame with reinforced connections, and curved legs on non-slip pads that add grip and protect the floor.
• Padding where hands land. Foam-padded handles inside the enclosure give a cautious first-timer something to hold on the way up.
• Certified to the US toy standards. The maker lists ASTM and CPSIA certification, and a maximum weight capacity of 265 lbs.

Designed for

The maker recommends this one for children 3 to 6, which is the stretch where jumping stops being a wobble and turns into a game with rules. Give it a clear circle a little over four feet wide and check your headroom before you set it up indoors: the frame alone is 55.5″ tall, and a jumping child needs a good deal more than that between the mat and the ceiling. Outdoors it wants level ground, well clear of fences, steps and low branches. One jumper at a time is the rule we would set at home, whatever the mat is rated to hold. If you are comparing it with a climbing structure or a slide, the rest of our play sets and playgrounds sit alongside it, and our backyard play ideas for toddlers has more on keeping a three-year-old moving through the week.

Assembly & care

Assembly is required and it is an adult job. The trampoline arrives with all of its parts and hardware and an illustrated manual, so the work is straightforward rather than fiddly. Wipe the protective cover and the mat down with a damp cloth; the cover is waterproof, which keeps maintenance to that. Before the first jump of the season, walk around the frame and check that every bungee is hooked and the net door zips cleanly shut. Our assembly and care guide covers the rest of the routine.
