There's something exciting about bouncing on a trampoline whatever your age - don't try to deny it, we know you all bounce on your kids' one when they're not looking.

With summer on the way, and plenty of time for us all to be spending in the garden, make the most of your outdoor space with a new trampoline. There are models for toddlers and big kids - and if the weather's rubbish, the toddler ones can be used indoors too.

Choose a trampoline that explains the weight restrictions and guidelines, and follow them - these can be dangerous pieces of equipment if you don't follow the advice properly. Safety is paramount when children are involved, so find a trampoline that offers security of springs and brackets. Most offer padded mats and sides, and some models are even designed without springs now.

We've looked at a range of trampolines for toddlers, older children, teenagers, and young-at-heart adults too. Have fun bouncing!
