    Vuly have their new thunder which is more like the spring free.

    We're once again umming and ahhing over getting a trampoline, I can never make my mind up but if we do we'll most likely be going with the vuly thunder.

    We've been tossing up a trampoline for a few Christmases now. I think we'll be going with a vuly - we just can't justify the larger price tag on a spring free. If your kids are going to be using it extensivelyfor gymnastics, maybe the spring free one would suit you guys.

    Edit: I've just read a choice review on trampolines. Spring free was the only one they would "recommend", saying that all the others failed a safety test. On closer review, the safety test was an impact test - after dropping the trampoline 20 times, every other tramp showed permanent damage somewhere, the spring free did not. So, I'm pretty sure I don't plan of dropping my trampoline once, let alone 20 times. And if it gets whipped up in a wind storm and dropped, I will be sure to claim a new one on insurance.

    Anyway - the vuly compared well, impact tests aside. I actually think it compared better - 150kg max load versus 75 for the equivalent spring free model. I'm 75kg - if I got on, my kids couldn't, on the spring free. DH never could, not even on his own! And the price - the spring free was twice the vuly.

    Also the vuly was rated as having the most exciting bounce characteristics out of them all. And easiest to assemble.

    We love our Vuly Haven't had it for very long but it gets quite a workout! As OP mentioned, the weight is 150kg so I can get on with both kids. We have the anchor kit so it's not going to get blown over in high winds.
