** With all trampolines I advise one child at a time, the golden trampoline rule and that supervision’s required when the trampoline is in use. The age recommendations should be checked against the official manufacturer’s guidelines. I only aim to inform but I’m not the rule.
Trampolines are one of the best ways to get kids outside and enjoy the outdoors, even if it is just in the garden. It makes it easier to encourage your kids to get away from in front of the television or tablet and out into the garden, especially in the spring and summer months when you want your children to play outside and enjoy some fresh air.
An added benefit to not only being fun for kids but trampolines are also proven to improve balance, coordination and help with development. They are the perfect entertainment for children throughout the year, don’t think that the kids are only going to want to have a bounce in the summer 🙂
So here’s our take on one of the safest and cheapest trampolines available in 2019. There’s a great possibility the Kanga Trampoline will be the trampoline for you especially if you want to balance budget and entertainment. Coming in at four different price points for each model.

Here’s a quick look at the dimensions in a picture form.
The Design of the Kanga Trampoline
The Kanga trampoline has a very unique design and colour scheme, designed with an inner trampoline enclosure as opposed to an outer enclosure. It features curved support beams that go from the trampoline mat to the top of the enclosure ring.
All sizes, the 6ft, 8ft, 10ft and the 12ft Kanga Trampoline feature heavy-duty galvanized steel tubes that make up the entire frame, galvanized both inside and outside the steel tubes are strong, durable and provide protection from all types of weather.
The protection helps prevent both rust and corrosion of the steel frame because let’s face it. You aren’t going to take apart and store the trampoline every time it rains right?
The trampoline is designed in black and yellow. It includes a black mat, black padding, black enclosure while the only yellow part is the small band around the bottom of the trampoline safety net, with that being said the design is unique enough and looks great.
Depending on the size of the trampoline you’re looking to purchase, each Kanga trampoline model has a different number of steel legs, enclosure poles, and springs. See our comparison table above.

Galvanized Steel Tube Frame Support
- Galvanized steel tube frame – The steel frame that comes with the Kanga Trampoline has passed all EN-71 requirements for allowing general sale within the UK. This means that it’s sturdy and robust enough to hold the recommended weight for each trampoline size, whether it be the 6ft trampoline or the 10ft trampoline. The galvanized steel protects the structure from rust and corrosion, which protects the trampoline eliminating stability or durability issues. It makes for a trampoline that will last for years to come.
Kanga Trampoline Accessories
- Inner Enclosure – The item comes packaged with a number of extras, these include the net enclosure that adds extra protection for children by being an ‘inner enclosure’ net, this limits a child’s ability to reach the springs of the trampoline.
- Curved Enclosure – To add extra stability and support to ensure your child or children do not come to any harm while using the trampoline. It bends inwards to provide a strong barrier for children.
- Trampoline Ladder – Allows easy access and exit from the trampoline without injury occurring from getting on and off the trampoline.
- Anchor kit – This makes the trampoline stick to it’s desired location and won’t get uprooted by any children bouncing or any high-speed winds – I’m sure you’ve seen the viral videos of trampolines rolling past peoples windows before, and with the anchor kit, that won’t be you!
Weight Limits Of The Trampoline
This trampoline has a high weight limit – Starting from 50 KG for the 6ft Kanga model up to 120 KG for the 10ft and 12ft Kanga.
What does a high weight limit on a trampoline mean?

Safety Certifications
The Kanga Trampoline adheres to the following certificates and EU standards.
The CE, GS, TUV, and EN-71.
We know a lot about the EN-71, and to get a pass mark, it has to meet or surpass standards set out in the testing criteria.

Kanga trampoline Questions & Answers
Let’s try to answer some of your most popular questions about the trampoline if you have any other questions about the Kanga Trampoline comment below and we will try to answer as best as possible.
How many kids can go on the trampoline at once?
As with all trampolines, we always recommend that only one child bounce at the same time, although we know that not always be the case.
If you do let more than one child on the trampoline at the same time, we’ve had feedback that the trampoline can support 2 children but make sure that the trampoline weight limit is not exceeded and there is plenty of space to bounce around – this will depend on the size of the Kanga trampoline that you purchase.
Do not let teens bounce with younger children, the force a teen can exert on the trampoline will be unstable for a young child and they will struggle to find balance.
What is the minimum age to use the trampoline?
While the manufacturer does not provide an exact minimum age, we have searched and had reports of children from young as four years old enjoying the trampoline. Please ensure that a supervising adult accompanies any trampoline usage. Safety is our number one concern with trampoline usage.

With all trampolines we advise that it be placed on a flat surface, free from debris or obstructions that could cause damage to either the trampoline or the children using the trampoline. We advise the trampoline to be placed on a soft grass surface with the anchor kit keeping it firm and secure. A trampoline should not be placed on loose gravel, stones, or a concrete surface.
