I don't want to buy them just because I don't like jumping too much. When I was a little girl I always play jumping the rope, now I don't like to play that anymore. Our backyard is more of a garden so not enough space for trampoline.

I find that children get bored quickly and if you do spend out money for a trampoline, not sure how much they will cost you, but if you spend out the money and the children use it for a while they may get fed up with it, and it is left abandoned. It is a good idea but as long as the children will get good use out of it. Personally I wouldn't want to get one.

I would say, if you have the money, get them one. They are so much fun. We don't have one but my brother-in-law and his wife have one for their kids. My kids have a blast on it, they will spend hours out there jumping. It is great exercise and sure beats having them sit in front of the television playing some dumb video game. I would just encourage you to buy the "cage" that goes around it, those are so much more safe.
