Molly Weber:  My daughter has recently discovered how much fun it is to jump on the couch cushions. In an effort to corral her to a safer jumping zone, I purchased this mini trampoline with a handle bar. She LOVES it. I don't even understand how she has a drop of energy left in her after spending an hour going back and forth to jump on it between playing with other toys. It was easy to set up and also has a higher weight capacity than other trampolines I looked at.
