Are there spare mats and elastics for the Junior and Folding trampolines?

Can weight limits apply to the combined weight of two people jumping on the trampoline?
As for whether the weight limit can refer to more than one user, clearly it could, but we very strongly advise against multiple person use on the grounds of trampoline safety. Multiple person use is the most common cause of accidents on trampolines. It can result in collisions or falls due to the bounce of one trampolinist destabilising another, especially where there is a significant weight difference between the jumpers. Evidence from published international studies indicates multiple person use of any large trampoline, whatever the shape, size or make, is potentially dangerous. As a responsible manufacturer we think it is important to highlight important trampoline safety guidelines that you should follow if you purchase a large trampoline. Using a trampoline without due regard to them can result in serious accidents.
Is there an age limit on the Toddler Trampolines?
The Big Bouncer has an age recommendation of 3-6 years. The Junior Trampoline and Folding Trampoline are suitable for children up to 5 years.
Lots of places now sell trampolines. Does it matter who I buy my trampoline from?
It is important to buy the right trampoline both for you now and as your family grows. Therefore the advice of a specialist (someone who has been selling outdoor toys for a long time as is the case with TP Centre of Excellence Stockists) can be invaluable when selecting a trampoline. You will expect your trampoline to give your family years of fun. So it is wise to buy a trampoline made by a reputable manufacturer who will be there to provide after sales support both now and in the future. Your trampoline will have a warranty of some kind. Does it cover "normal wear and tear"? Some don’t. A guarantee is only of value if the supplier of that warranty is still around to honour it. You might be re-assured that TP have been trading uninterrupted for nearly 50 years.
My child is nearly three. Shall I buy a big trampoline that they will grow into?
Your child will grow into the trampoline but big trampolines are recommended for children aged 6 years and over because of the height of the trampoline off the ground and the very significant, uncontrollable forces involved in using a trampoline. However, it is a shame to waste the opportunity for your child to reap the benefits of outdoor play now. Instead we suggest that you choose outdoor toys geared more to their current physical needs and capabilities. Climbing, swinging, and sliding are all activities which younger children love and are appropriate to their developmental needs. Wooden Climbing Frames or Wooden Swing Sets, Steel Climbing Frames and Steel Swing swing sets or slides would all be appropriate alternative choices for this age group.
