Things to consider while looking for best trampolines Under $500 & $200

Few points that you must keep in mind before buying a trampoline whether it’s for your kids, toddler or any semi-professional or professional gymnast are:

First of all, kids under 6 years should not be exposed to playing on the trampolines as it isn’t safe for young children as well as they aren’t capable enough to keep their balance.

Space

You must consider the exact amount of space you want to give your trampoline.

This space factor matters a lot as if the brought trampoline exceeds the space limits then you could be in trouble, anyways.

The frame size (generally 8 ft to 14, 15 ft) of a trampoline will decide the space it will be occupying.

You can easily get any one-person or a very big trampoline under $500.

In order to measure a trampoline or any of its parts, check our guide on trampoline measurement, so that you can have a better idea on trampoline size and the measurement of its various parts.

The trampolines occupy space according to the frame outer sizes.

Purpose

You must know beforehand, for what purpose do you need a trampoline? Whether it is for: 

• Toddlers

You toddler may want a trampoline but keep this fact in mind also, that according to medical recommendations, children (2 years and under 2 years) should not use trampolines but only under your supervision.

• Kids

Kids also have some age limitations, like your kid must be above 6 years to play on it (still everything must be under your supervision).

• Adults
• Home-training sessions
• Semi-professional gymnasts
• Professional gymnasts

Now If you are clear about your needs, then just grab the one that fits your needs and is under $500 as well.

Make sure to select a trampoline considering the users’ (children, adults) age in mind.

Shape

Your kids or even you may want the trampoline to be in any other shape than a circle, the round one.

The various shapes and types of trampolines are discussed further below already keeping the budget in mind.

Supporting Weight

This factor could not be left behind as it has a great significance in looking for an ideal trampoline.

The more weight any trampoline could bear, the more persons would be able to bounce on it, resulting in deciding the number of persons as well as maximum weight limit in total.

---

Shapes and Types of Trampolines under Budget

There are several kinds or shapes / types of trampolines available out there.

• Round trampolines
• Oval trampolines
• Square trampolines
• Rectangular trampolines
• Spring-free trampolines
• Mini trampolines
• Trampolines for toddlers

But not all of these will be reliable for under $500 budget. So, let’s see what option can we get then.

Round trampolines

The round trampolines are the most common trampolines among all and well-known for their 12 ft, 14 ft or 15 ft and even more and less that this round with their net boundaries.

The price of the round trampolines depend upon the size of the trampoline, comprising how large or small it is. But of course, they are easily purchasable under $500.

Of course the larger ones with the higher quality would be more expensive as compared to the ones smaller.

The smaller ones include 8, 9, 10 or even less ft rounds. Smaller ones are the most suitable ones for children up to 8 years old (excluding the toddlers).

You might be thinking, why would the circular trampolines and also the smaller ones be for the smaller ones (your kids most probably).

So, this thing is the biggest plus point for the circular trampolines if you are looking for children under 8 years in maximum of $500 and even much lesser than that.

Round trampolines having the most common shape can easily fit in your backyard, or even in an already separated room for your kids, or you too.

Oval trampolines

An oval trampoline is another kind of trampoline, and can be an ideal choice if you want a big one for your place.

It can easily make more than 6 children stand and jump on it offering them quite a pleasant space to have fun.

You can check out the best Skywalker oval trampoline under $500.

Oval trampolines are also available in the spring-free models which we have also discussed below.

These trampolines are also more expensive than the round ones.

Rectangular trampolines

The rectangular trampolines are not a better choice for kids.

These trampolines are designed for the semi-professionals or professional ones.

Since, due to their rectangular shape, they do not offer much space so it can be tricky to handle yourself over these and that’s why these rectangular trampolines are not the best choice if you are especially looking for the trampolines for the kids in the price range of under $500.  

You can checkout the JumpKing 7 x 10 Foot Rectangular Trampoline (for kids) under this range.

Good quality rectangular trampolines are usually above $500:

Also, you can check Skywalker rectangular trampoline.

But if you want your trampoline to be of greater size so that it fits easily in your big backyard and also if it will be used by the semi-gymnasts, then let me say, this is the only choice you have.

They are a little bit expensive as compared to round trampolines but if the price range fits your budget then you can check it.

Square trampolines

Square trampolines have both of the facts, they are big and they are safer as compared to oval and rectangular trampolines.

The square trampolines are a bit more expensive too but, I would say, these trampolines are the best to enjoy on.

They provide somewhat different bounce than the ones that are round, for this feature, they are considered good for the gymnasts that work on their skills part time. 

Moreover, since the bouncing back feature of square trampolines is different from the round ones that offer only limited bouncing back power, that is only to the center of the bouncing mat.

Therefore, the square trampolines act much like the ones that are rectangular, it means, you can have access to any place while bouncing back depending upon your control and grip over your jumping capability.

But, since these shaped trampolines are more flexible than rectangular and round ones, they are more expensive than their budget.

Spring-free trampolines

Spring-free trampolines are the most convenient ones to jump on, as well as perfectly fits the recreational purpose.

Keeping their features in mind, the spring-free trampolines are the most expensive ones.

Spring-free trampolines are available in all shapes as round, oval, square and rectangle as well.

These trampolines are the safest trampolines as there’s no problem of getting caught in the springs of the trampoline as it is spring free.

These trampolines generally do not come under $500.

You can check this Free jump trampoline which we consider as the best it its range but you can expect a good one under $500.

Now, let me tell you an interesting thing about the spring-free trampolines.

Did this thing just come in your mind that why they have been designed this way; spring-free?

Once a New Zealand’s engineer Dr. Keith Alexander noticed this fact that the number of children being admitted in the hospitals due to any accidents, comprising most of the ones that ended up being injured from the accidents occurred due to playing on trampolines.

So, he ended up solving this problem and designed a trampoline that uses springs but below the mat without having any possibility of landing on them.

So this was the interesting story of spring-free trampolines being designed.

Fair enough though.

Mini trampolines

Mini trampolines are a good choice, if you need some personal space, as well as a one-person jogging mat.

Yes! This trampoline can be used well and also is cheap, acting professional as well for your gymnast training sessions.

Mini-trampolines are easily available in the price range under $50.

• Niksa mini trampoline:

This Niksa mini trampoline can bear up to 330 pounds, and is also foldable and easy to use. The handle is adjustable and non-slip.

• Darchen mini trampoline:

Darchen mini trampoline can bear up to 400 weight and provides strong bouncing back capability.

This trampoline is fit for workout and also has the most supporting weight capability than Niksa mini trampoline and Leaps and ReBounds mini trampolines.

• Leaps and ReBounds mini trampoline:

This trampoline weight limit is around 250 pounds and easy to assemble as well taking around 30 minutes from opening the package to using it up.

Supporting weight capability is less than Darchen and Niksa mini trampolines.

But wait, let me tell you, if you have planned to buy it already. This is not for your child to play alone or even your children.

If your kid is alone, then he must use it under your supervision.

Otherwise take it for your personal training or working out and that is the easiest to meet your budget under $500 as well.

If you are still unsure about the perfect size of trampoline for your specific needs, then you can read our in depth guide on choosing the right size and type of trampoline for any specific need.

Cheap Trampolines for toddlers

a) Little Tikes trampoline

Since your other kids are crying out for the trampolines, your toddlers could need them too.

If you want an extra playland for your toddler spending your money under $500 only, without having the trouble of meeting any accident or injury, then these toddlers trampolines are designed for you because their design, material, size and almost everything is designed keeping their age in consideration as these toddlers cannot handle the high bounce, and hard mats as well.

That’s why these trampolines come with a very soft and secure, extra padded frame that is very comfortable and enjoyable as well for your toddler.

So keep this fact in mind while looking for the trampolines for your toddler because their kind is specific (toddlers’ trampolines) and they couldn’t be exposed to other bigger trampolines, designed for children above 6 years and adults.

Toddlers trampolines come under your prescribed budget easily, even under $100 as well.

Some other best toddlers trampolines are:

b) Wamkos trampoline

This dinosaur themed toddler and kids under 6 age, trampoline comes with a 36-inch frame and 32 springs with jump sport pad type.

Unlike Kawuneeche kids trampoline (the next one), it doesn’t come with an enclosure net.

c) Kawuneeche kids trampoline 

An extra and effective feature of this trampoline is, since it already fits the size requirement according to toddlers and kids under 6.

It also has enclosure nets that ensure the safety of your kids, not falling beyond the trampoline’s area.

So, this trampoline fits all the qualities of an ideal trampoline whenever we talk about the trampolines for toddlers.

d) ARPSTAR toddlers trampoline

This ARPSTAR trampoline comes with the handle at the edge that is good for the kids bouncing on the jumping mat, having grip on the handle, without getting hit by it, as in some cases the handle is installed in the central diameter of the trampoline having the risk of getting hit by it.

e) BCAN trampoline

BCAN trampoline is suitable for toddlers 3 to 6 years old and easily foldable trampoline, comes with safety pads and foam handlebar.

But things do not end here, even if you are getting the toddler’s trampolines, still you should not leave your toddler alone over it.

Let him play over it in your supervision as I said before, they aren’t capable enough to handle it alone and balance themselves.

After a huge research keeping the safety measures and the budget’s requirements in my mind, I’ve filtered out the list of the cheapest as well as the best quality trampolines under $500.

Another Important Thing: If you are planning to buy a trampoline and you want to setup the trampoline yourself after getting it, you can check our step by step detailed guide on assembling a trampoline together like a pro.

Top 5 Trampolines Under $500 (Reviews)

So, I kept each and every feature and consideration in my mind to filter out, select and finalizing my top 5 picks under this budget which I have reviewed below.

1. Zupapa Trampoline for Kids 

This Zupapa trampoline can easily fit in your backyard with its non-slip ladder, weighing 100 Lbs.

This trampoline is safer because it has been examined for its safety and durability, fulfilling all the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and TUV.

I loved this trampoline for its quality and easy-to-assemble thing, under $500 as well.

Moreover, I found the manufacturer’s customer service very convenient and quick as compared to some others.

So let’s dig in, why this trampoline is loved by almost everyone who tried it once.

Specifications

• Color: Blue
• Brand: ZUPAPA
• Item Weight: 100 pounds
• Maximum weight recommendation: 375 pounds
• Number of springs: 48
• Material: Foam, Steel
• Frame size: 8 Feet – 15ft
• Frame material: Alloy steel
• ASIN: B09DD53HFB
• Shape: Round

Quality

The quality of this Zupapa trampoline is no doubt very good. The springs are rust resistant and they offer a good bounce as well.

I believe that the quality of trampoline must be taken into consideration seriously before thinking about anything else because if the quality of trampoline deceives you, then someone’s life could too.

The bouncing pad must be made up of high quality stuff as well as the gap between the springs that it could not grab your child’s hand or foot inside it.

The material used for this trampoline is foam for the bouncing pad and steel for all the rods etc.

The trampoline also comes with the 6 pieces of wind stakes that make it stand firm even in storms, protecting it from any damage as well.

Security and no-gap design

You must be thinking as it is much larger, probably 8-10 ft of round pad, then it might have bigger gaps between the springs and that ultimately results in some accident may be?

But no, this Zupapa trampoline is secure enough to offer your kids a much safer environment to enjoy without risking their lives.

No gap design has reduced the risks of getting your hand or feet caught in, to zero in fact.

So there’s no risk as a result. The springs of this trampoline are all made covered with a very thick and jumping pad that is also durable enough.

Springs and impressive bounces

What makes a trampoline, trampoline?

Of course, I know it too. The SPRINGS. Otherwise it is a mere mat with standing rods nothing else.

So, this is a surprise feature of Zupapa’s trampoline that it offers 12 more springs other than the regular ones that offer very impressive bounces.

Surely, your kids are gonna love it.

One advice from me as well, try it yourself once too, you would also love it. 

Net poles

The net poles of this trampoline are much longer. The net poles are extended enough to reach the ground firmly.

One plus point of Zupapa trampoline is, their trampoline consists of  frame tubes of 1.5 mm steel, that is more than those ordinary frame tubes that come in 1 mm only.

So this point makes this trampoline even more sturdy and firm to stand.

Frame structure

You would be surprised to know that Zupapa’s trampoline does not use any screws for assembling it.

Yes. It’s true and you heard it right, the frame structure of Zupapa trampoline is self-locked.

Furthermore, the trampoline does not take much time to assemble.

I assembled it with my 12 year old sibling in 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Much better than all other trampolines, that are cheaper but quality-wise are lesser than this and also sometimes takes 1 to 2 whole days to assemble.

So, the assembling process is quite easy if you follow the directions given in the manual very correctly and assemble everything just step by step.

Moreover, the frame’s shape is round as seen in the pictures as well.

Warranty

Zupapa calls its warranty to be unbeatable.

But why?

Oh yes, of course, just found out that it offers the whole 10 years warranty of frames? Surprised enough.

And 2 years warranty of bouncing mat, enclosure net, springs and safety pads.

And moreover, it offers the free replacement for other parts as well. Now there’s no doubt, yes. It is unbeatable.

My verdict

This trampoline easily fulfilled all my expectations that I had from any trampoline.

It comes under $500 as well, moreover, the upgraded versions may exceed the budget limit.

I could easily call it the best trampoline that one can get under $500 due to its immense specifications and quality.

I didn’t care if this Zupapa trampoline is a little bit more expensive than all other trampolines that come under this budget and even cheaper rates than this one.

Because I couldn’t compromise on the quality and warranty of the trampoline, Zupapa was offering me.

So good luck to you too if it’s matching the frequency of your expectations as well.

2. SereneLife Budget trampoline

SereneLife trampoline is another one with a little bit cheaper price than the Zupapa trampoline stated above and also the one that I liked after Zupapa’s trampoline due to its waterproof construction as well as its durability.

Its weather-resistant design makes it safer to use and less-risky as compared to all other cheaper trampolines. 

Specifications

• Color: Assorted
• Brand: SereneLife
• Maximum weight recommendation: 264 pounds
• Number of springs: 48
• Material: Polypropylene
• Frame size: 8 Feet
• ASIN: B08FBKD4ZD
• Shape: Round

Jumping diameter

The jumping diameter of any trampoline is important as it tells you about the space it’s going to give the ones who intend to jump on it.

SereneLife trampoline offers 96” x 96” x 94.1” diameter that is large enough to make your kids jump easier.

Moreover, the larger diameter they will be given, the better it would be for their safety.

This trampoline is very attractive for kids, teens and adults.

Waterproof construction

As already mentioned, the construction of SereneLife trampoline is waterproof, meaning no worries if it’s left outside in the backyard or any other outside place.

The trampoline is tested for its safety as well as waterproof design, so no doubts in it.

It is quite suitable for kids above 6 years. 

Quality

The quality of SereneLife trampoline can also not be denied as the bouncing mat is made up of polypropylene.

Therefore, the trampoline is able to be used for longer times than the one cheaper than it. 

One thing, you might have noticed as well that most of the features of SereneLife trampoline are the same as Zupapa’s trampolines so then why any comparison between these two?

That is because, the Zupapa trampoline offers more weighting support that is 375 pounds than the SereneLife trampoline that is 264 pounds, meaning less persons on SereneLife and also low-weighed, and more persons on Zupapa and also more-weighed.

And also, the Zupapa trampoline was self-locked while the SereneLife trampoline is not.

So, things are pretty much clear now.

Warranty

SereneLife manufacturers offer a limited 1 year warranty on all their products so this trampoline has this too.

Clearly, the warranty of SereneLife trampoline is very much less than the trampoline of Zupapa as it was 10 and 2 years respectively for different parts of their trampoline.

Still, the SereneLife trampoline comes under the best trampolines under $500, so it is a good option to choose as well, as my relative’s kids pretty much enjoyed using the SereneLife trampoline.

My verdict

SereneLife trampoline is no doubt also a good choice when your budget that is under $500 is matching the cost of it.

Moreover, if taken a general view, this trampoline is fair enough to be installed at home for your kids as well.

No worries in setting it in open-sky, as it is waterproof.

3. AOTOB cheap trampoline

AOTOB trampoline is one of the trampoline tops in my consideration list due to its anti-rust steel structure just like the Zupapa’s one and the balanced contact points as well for increasing its grip on the floor. 

Specifications

• Color: Orange, Green, Blue
• Brand: AOTOB
• Maximum weight recommendation: 400 pounds
• Number of springs: 48
• Material: Foam, steel
• Frame material: Alloy steel
• Frame size: 8 Feet
• ASIN: B0972VDZJ8
• Shape: Round

Quality

The quality of AOTOB trampoline is also considerable due to its anti-rust steel structure as well as the material of the bouncing pad.

Moreover, the risk of the kid’s hand or foot being caught in the gap is very low due to the safety feature it provides by making the spring and jump cover close. 

Jumping mat

The jumping mat of AOTOB trampoline is quite wide enough to let your children enjoy occupying the 8 ft space of your backyard.

Moreover, the mat is wear-resistant. Whenever I buy a trampoline, I often worry about the color of it, whether it will fade quickly or give me some wide time period to enjoy its newness.

But luckily, this trampoline’s color does not fade even if it is used outside.

But, still, it is advised to cover it up when not in use.

Weight

This factor is the most considered one while looking for the trampolines and luckily, this trampoline has the most supporting weight range (up to 400 pounds) as compared to Zupapa and SereneLife trampolines that support 375 pounds and 264 pounds of weight respectively.

So it’s a plus point for this AOTOB trampoline being under $500 as well.

Warranty

The warranty feature for AOTOB trampoline is not quite visible as compared to Zupapa and SereneLife trampolines.

This could make me worried too but its features might let me go for it once again as I had experienced it once already.

You will have to contact the AOTOB’s customer service in order to ask for the trampoline’s warranty if you are intending to get the one.

My verdict

This trampoline has the most weight bearing capacity (400 pounds), so it’s fit for your kids and you as well as it wouldn’t give you all hard times because of its jumping mat.

I also did not have any problem with it, my siblings enjoyed using it.

As for the warranty, I couldn’t say much but surely its quality will go a long way giving your kids a good time indeed.

4. Skywalker trampoline

Let’s first talk about the thing I liked the most in Skywalker trampoline. That’s basketball fun.

This trampoline is so good if you want a fun family time with your kids while easily bouncing and playing over it.

This is quite a pleasant activity to enjoy with the younger ones.

The quality and the frame size also made me go for it even once but for sure also having the highest number of springs in it.

Specifications

• Color: Blue, Camo, Green, Purple, Red
• Brand: Skywalker trampolines
• Item weight: 138.23 pounds
• Maximum weight recommendation: 200 pounds
• Number of springs: 72
• Material: Foam, steel
• Frame material: Alloy steel
• Frame size: 12 Feet
• ASIN: B0972VDZJ8
• Shape: Round

Variety of colors

This Skywalker trampoline comes in various colors unlike the other trampolines that come in maximum of 2 to 3 colors only under $500.

If you ask me, the camo color is my most favorite among all the colors it offers.

But of course, everyone has its own taste, like the kids will most probably go for purple, blue etc.

So, this feature adds such a good taste to the Skywalker trampolines under such a budget.

Quality

The quality of skywalker trampoline is quite nice as well as the frame is made up of alloy steel just like Zupapa, SereneLife and AOTOB trampolines.

The gaps between the closure net and the bouncing mat are eliminated due to patented enclosure features.

Weight

The supported weight of Skywalker’s trampoline (up to 200 pounds) is much less than all the above stated trampolines of Zupapa, SereneLife and AOTOB that support 375, 264 and 400 pounds of weight respectively.

So it’s kinda less of a point than all those trampolines. 

Frame

This feature has got the skywalker’s trampoline a plus point because the size of the frame is 12 ft.

That is more than all those Zupapa, SereneLife and AOTOB trampolines under this budget.

So, your kids will get a wider space than all the space those trampolines offer 

Springs

This is another most noticeable feature of the Skywalker’s trampoline as it has 72 springs and you better know after this long research that this is the highest number of springs among all the Zupapa, SereneLife and AOTOB trampolines.

More springs mean more and higher bounces as well.

Fun nature

The first thing I got excited about, on this trampoline, was a basketball hoop.

This point got my mind stuck in this trampoline as providing such a fun time playing it and also on a bouncing mat.

Also one trampoline consists of stars and stripes as well.

So a huge variety and choice, at one platform.

Warranty

The warranty of Skywalker trampoline is 3-year limited on the frame and 1 year on all the other parts of it.

Now it is quite clear, that Skyliner’s warranty is more than SereneLife’s trampoline and also the AOTOB that isn’t even clear, but we are still behind the warranty and confidence, Zupapa gave us with its 10 years warranty.

My verdict

You can go for this trampoline if you want a bigger one for you as the frame’s size is 12 ft and 72 springs as well.

If your children love having these colored trampolines then let them enjoy them for once at least as it is also giving 3 years and 1 year warranty on frame and all other parts respectively.

5. Qcen best value trampoline under $200

The BCAN trampoline is always on the 3rd top when we talk about the weight that trampolines could bear on it and 2nd in having more springs in it.

That’s why it is always seen high on the recommendations list.

Let’s move on to its details to find something more interesting about it as well.

Specifications

• Color: Blue
• Brand: QCen
• Item weight: 96 pounds
• Supporting weight recommendation: 340 pounds
• Number of springs: 60
• Material: Steel, EPE foam, PE Cloth
• Frame material: Alloy steel
• Frame size: 10-14 ft
• ASIN: B09MRH3S5Y
• Shape: Round

Quality

The quality of Qcen trampolines is amazing due to the alloy steel frames and also the EPE foam it is using while taking the safety measures under consideration as well.

Polyethylene safety net that is thick enough to keep your children safe is worth-considering. 

Frame

As we have talked about the quality of frames, let me tell you this too, the size of Qcen trampoline is also quite wide (10- 14 ft), at least wider than AOTOB trampoline.

But it is less than that of 12 ft of Skywalker’s trampoline and Zupapa trampoline in some cases.

Still, I loved gifting this trampoline for my friend’s kids.

Springs

The number of springs (60) in Qcen trampoline is higher than that of Zupapa, SereneLife and AOTOB, but less than those 72 springs of Skyliner.

And there is another reason for it being good, I will tell you. 

Weight

While we have seen the scope of Qcen trampoline in number of springs and frame’s size among the cheap trampolines, this Qcen trampoline is also the 2nd one, high in bearing the maximum supporting weight that is 340 pounds.

Quite enough though, less than that of AOTOB trampoline that could hold up to 400 pounds.

Cost

Remember what I had stated above, another reason why it is good?

That was because I knew the cost of a Qcen trampoline with its high number of springs, weight bearing and frame size features as well.

This Qcen trampoline is the cheapest trampoline under $500 resulting in standing among the best cheap trampolines.

Warranty

Qcen offers 1 year warranty on this trampoline that I know less than Zupapa, SereneLife and Skywalkers trampolines.

But they are also giving you a 30-days money back guarantee as well so that’s the awesome plus point for Qcen.

My verdict

All the features, and warranty made me say that this is the best value trampoline under $200 as well as everything makes it quite perfect to turn it into a play area for one’s kids unless the strong windy days arrive.

Concluding Remark

All the above mentioned trampolines are no doubt worth-considering because of their competitive features and reasonable price but the trampoline that best fits in its features with price is Zupapa trampoline under $500 and the most valued cheap trampoline under $200 is Qcen trampoline. 

Also, we only added the round trampolines in our best reviewed trampolines under $500 because other shaped trampolines (square, rectangle, oval and especially spring-free) are expensive according to this price range.

And the ones that come under this budget, don’t show much quality and durability as compared to the round shaped trampolines mentioned above.

However, mini trampolines are easily purchasable even in the budget less than $200 or even $100. 

I hope it helps.
