Hooray! Warmer weather is here! Hopefully, it's here to stay. Here in Virginia, Mother Nature seems to get confused awfully easily, bringing rain one day, 75 degree temps the next, followed by an inch or two of snow soon after. (No wonder I am horribly sick with a sinus infection right now!)
Now that I am fairly certain that Old Man Winter has made his exit for the year, it's time to focus on more outdoor play. Let's face it: Kids don't like being cooped up in the house all winter long. They can actually get the "But-Mommy-I'm-Boo-oored" syndrome rather quickly. This is no fun for kids and it's definitely no walk in the park for parents, either. So with the arrival of spring, this mama is doing a little happy dance. I can finally take the kids out to play without fear of them turning into tiny little popsicle people!
One of the things my kids love are trampolines. Our good friends, who just happen to be the babies' God-Parents, have a huge on in their yard, and it's a huge hit. My 12 year old loves it, and so does my 2 year old. I still remember Sophie's first time on a trampoline. Melissa, her God-Mother, was watching her, and took her out to see how she'd react. She was only barely walking at the time, so of course, she had extreme adult supervision. No other kids were allowed on at the time, and Melissa got in with her, gently bouncing the trampoline to show her how it worked. When you're dealing with very small children, this is absolutely necessary for their safety. There are some that argue that toddlers shouldn't be allowed on trampolines at all, but I personally don't see a problem if an adult is right there at all times. Safety is absolutely key.
Anyway, Sophie had an absolute blast. She giggled wildly and started bouncing herself! First it was just on her knees, and soon she was up on her feet and jumping happily. From that point on, every time we would visit our friends, the kids would rush to the trampoline immediately. Unfortunately, they are busy people with jobs and 3 busy kids of their own, and don't live as nearby as we'd like, so we don't see them too often. So I had to face the fact: I needed to find a high-quality yet affordable trampoline!

Zoostores also has a huge amount of inventory. It's literally a one-stop shop for everything you could possibly need. Want a new stroller or carseat? They've got them. Or maybe an inversion table or a gorgeous jewelry armoire? They've got those, too! With 250 specialty stores, think of Zoostores as an online mall. You can go shop to shop in the comfort of your own home, even if you're covered in baby food and still in your pajamas. You can even go shopping at 3:00AM when insomnia hits. What mall is open at 3:00AM? None that I know of! With Zoostores, you will find what you want, when you have the time to do so. Talk about convenience!
The awesome folks at Zoostores sent me one of their many, many trampolines for my review. (They have hundreds to choose from!) I received the Pure Fun 8 Foot Trampoline With Enclosure. The product arrived quickly and was very well-packaged. I absolutely love the size of this trampoline. I was looking for something large enough for my toddlers and preteen to enjoy, though not necessarily together, but small enough that it wouldn't dominate my not too large yard. The 8 Foot size was perfect and accomplished both of these goals.
The Pure Fun 8 Ft Trampoline has a very sturdy, galvanized iron steel circular base that keeps it stable. The heavy duty springs are also hidden by a thick padded vinyl covering, helping to prevent accidental injuries. (Like I said, safety is key!) All Pure Fun outdoor trampolines are safety rated up to 250 lbs so that each member of the family can hop with confidence. This trampoline is built with heavy duty galvanized, rust resistant steel and patented T-Section no-weld construction for extra stability and added frame life. T-Section construction keeps the whole trampoline frame from shifting over time, and prevents the kind of joint stress that can lead to frame failure. The W-Shaped legs with eight balanced contact points ensure that the trampoline will not wobble or tilt, while high performance steel springs provide the ultimate bounce experience. The jump mat is designed in the USA from a weather resistant, high performance polypro material with UV protected webbing straps. It comes with a PVC frame cover and thick foam rail padding over the springs for extra protection. The trampoline is ASTM, TUV/GS, and CE Certified.
My husband had the pleasure of assembling the trampoline, and my 12 year old was his helper. I was very surprised at how quickly they were able to get the trampoline set up. This model included very detailed and easy to understand instructions, and they were able to have it ready to go in less than an hour! Pretty impressive, huh?
Once we had the trampoline assembled and the enclosure secured, it was time for some play!

Daddy, is that for ME?!
It even has a cute Pure Fun logo on the jump mat!
The enclosure is tall and very secure.
Now it's time for some outdoor, bouncing fun! Sophie didn't know quite what to make of it at first. She is used to the trampoline at her God-Parents' home, so this was a whole new experience for her. I honestly think she was a little bit confused. With the help of Mommy, Daddy, and her big brother, Kyle, she quickly got the hang of it and started having fun.

Kyle excited to be jumping away!
He got a good bounce there!
In the air!
And here is a short video showing the Pure Fun 8 Foot Trampoline in action!
Overall, we are thrilled with our new trampoline, as well as with our experience with Zoostores! This trampoline is high-quality, has the safety features that are so important to me as a mom. I love the stability of the base and the fact that the frame is rust-resistant. I also love how secure the enclosure is, as well as the fact that there are no exposed springs. The thing I love the most? The smiles on my childrens' faces. My kids are absolutely loving it! They will have so much fun hopping away this spring and summer, and they can do so in our own yard rather than having to drive almost an hour to get to a trampoline.
Another thing I am impressed by is the stellar communication and customer service that Zoostores has to offer. Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about providing only the best shopping experience for their customers. I love their commitment to finding the best values around, and with free shipping and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, I know that no matter what I am shopping for, I can do so with absolute confidence. Working with them has been an absolute pleasure, and I look forward to making many future purchases with this company. I already have my eye on some of their convertible car seats and compact double strollers!
I would definitely recommend Zoostores for all of your shopping needs. This online "mall" makes shopping fun, easy, and absolutely painless. Plus, you won't have to drag the kids out for an all-day shopping excursion. What's not to love about that?!
