Check PriceFisher-Price Junior Trampoline (by Sportspower)
Designed for children aged 3 to 6 years, the Junior Trampoline is built for both garden and playroom use. It fills the gap between the 3 ft WonderJump indoor mini and the 4.5 ft outdoor net model, giving preschoolers and infant-school-age children a comfortable place to burn off energy without needing a huge amount of space.
Headline features
- Folding handle collapses flat for easy storage between sessions and quick transport between rooms.
- Padded safety surround wraps the frame and covers the attachment points to protect against falls.
- Sturdy painted steel legs keep the deck stable on laminate, carpet or short garden lawn.
- Taut bouncing mat gives a consistent spring feel without being so lively that a child loses control.
- Indoor or outdoor use, so the trampoline can move with the weather and the mood.
Who it suits
The Junior model works well for families who want a single trampoline that can serve both indoor rainy-day play and short sessions in the back garden. Because the handle folds, it is also an easier trampoline to share between siblings of different ages. Children who are past the 55 lb weight limit of the WonderJump often move onto this model first.
Fisher-Price 4.5 FT Trampoline
A larger outdoor-focused model with more comprehensive safety features, the 4.5 FT is the biggest trampoline in the Fisher-Price children's line-up. It is designed to live in the back garden and is built to cope with a British winter.
Headline features
- Full safety net enclosure surrounds the bouncing area, keeping children away from the springs and frame edge.
- Galvanised steel frame resists rust from rain, dew and seasonal temperature changes.
- Zinc-coated springs provide consistent bounce and are designed for years of outdoor exposure.
- Padded spring cover sits over the springs and protects toes and fingers.
- Foam-covered enclosure poles reduce the risk of head bumps against the upright supports.
Setting up in a UK garden
Most UK gardens will accommodate a 4.5 ft footprint comfortably, but you need to allow for the overhead clearance of the safety net (around 2 metres) and for at least 1.5 metres of clear flat space on each side. Grass is fine, but the ground should be level — pavers, decking and gravel are not recommended for this model because they reduce shock absorption.
Weather and maintenance
The galvanised frame and zinc-coated springs are designed to tolerate year-round outdoor use, but a simple cover extends the life of the mat and spring pad significantly. Many parents in the reviews section mention removing the net each autumn, wiping it down, and storing it in a shed over the wettest months. Once or twice a season, check the springs for wear and make sure the bolts on the frame are still tight.

Choosing between indoor flexibility and full outdoor safety
Most UK families who reach this page are deciding between the folding Junior Trampoline and the 4.5 ft outdoor model. The honest answer is that they solve different problems. If your child's play time splits roughly evenly between the lounge, conservatory or playroom and the garden, the Junior Trampoline's folding handle and lighter frame are a real advantage. You can tuck it behind a sofa, bring it out after breakfast, and take it back into storage before an afternoon nap.
The 4.5 ft outdoor model suits a different rhythm: once it is assembled in the garden it tends to stay there for the season, and children use it for longer, more physical play sessions. The added safety-net enclosure means you can comfortably allow slightly older children to bounce a little higher without worrying about the frame edge. Parents in the reviews section often comment that they originally planned to buy a "temporary" trampoline and ended up keeping the 4.5 ft model for several summers thanks to the galvanised frame.
Space, storage and supervision patterns usually make the decision easier than price does. A family with a small flat and a shared communal garden is a natural fit for the Junior model. A family with a regular back garden, multiple children of different ages, and a preference for outdoor play will get more from the 4.5 ft model with its net.
