Indoor trampolines

chardonnay24

Do they bounce? Like off the floor? Would it be a relatively quiet toy if you lived in an apartment?

A learned to jump really early (14 months) and it's his favorite activity. We recently moved from a house, where we encouraged jumping, to an apartment on the 2nd floor. He jumps all.the.time and comes crashing down with both feet, shaking the walls. I try to keep him out of the house whenever possible to let him run around outside or at indoor play spaces, but he wakes up in the morning and starts jumping around his room. He jumps during naptime and at bedtime. It's insane.

I've recently resorted to letting him jump on the couch or his bed, but we spent so long teaching him to sit on the couch instead of stand or jump, plus it's a safety hazard. He's already had a sprained ankle and a concussion in the last couple months. So I thought maybe a trampoline would be good? Or any other suggestions?

I live on the bottom floor and our neighbors just walking around sound like elephants. I'd be hesitant to have a trampoline indoors.

I've seen those at X's play centers. Your neighbors would not like this. They are not all that much safer than jumping on the couch either.

Also, i'm not sure what your budget is but do you have any indoor bounce house places, we have Monkey Joes.

X LOVES THE HELL out of that place. They have toddler specific areas and if you go during the week, it's not so crowded and they can bounce their hearts out.

Those would be so awesome in a couple years, but it says they're for ages 7 & up.

Going off this post, MrsGoodkat is right, some people walk hard. In my office which is 2nd floor I can hear some people stomping down the hall and it is always the same people. People with children should be on 1st floor.

Yeah, we had a hard enough time finding a place period, let alone a 1st floor apartment. Every decent apartment in our area had waiting lists months long, and we were lucky to get an apartment at all. When our house sold and we had to move quickly, we were considering living at our parents or living apart because there were no apartments available. We're on the list at our apartment for a 1st floor, but they don't expect an opening for a couple years.

We have one bounce house relatively close but it's really made for bigger kids and he gets trampled every time we go. They have a really lame toddler area that he completely ignores. We go to a lot of indoor play spaces, museums, and other people's houses, but my kid jumps like, all the time. It's his preferred mode of transportation.

Anything is going to make noise when you're on the second floor. What about a Jump-o-lene though? It's inflatable and can be used as a ball pit too.

If you have enough space, I'm positive an inflatable bounce house would be much quieter than a trampoline. The blower is the "loud" part, and it's not any worse than running a vacuum (at least, ours isn't). They're also much safer.

This one is ours- it's great, we can even get in there with the kids (laying down- not jumping- LOL). It's not tiny, though, and the slide is opposite the blowers, so you do need the floorspace, but, it packs away into a duffel bag, and quickly!

Ok, I seriously want to get that for the house. Rosie would flip her sh!t for this. However, how freakishly huge is it? I'm wondering if it will fit in her play area and we still have room to walk around it. It going outside would not be an option. It's for her to burn energy off inside.

It really isn't scary huge! We set it up in our family room, it is a pretty big room, but, we do have to watch which way we set it up due to the slide/blower extension. It would easily fit in a two car garage. We also have to look out for our ceiling fan thanks to the turrets. It is awesome, though. 

Hmmm, we only have floor space in her play area. Which is actually an eat in kitchen. It looks great! I will have to measure it out. There does seem to be a slightly smaller one (9'x8') made by the same company. We may get that one. If we didn't have the worlds largest sectional the other one would be purchased already.

I imagine you can't do this all the time but Ds loves Skyhigh. We go during Munchkin jump.

Okay, so everyone who replied so far is only telling you to get a bounce house or to move to the 1st floor.  We have a mini indoor tramp.

Santa brought this one a couple years ago:

Here is a pic:

We have it on a rug in our basement and unless it is banging the wall, I never hear a thing.  It does have a counter and music which makes it noisy, but if you never put batteries in it your son would naver know the difference why it doesn't work.

I'd worry about the liability of having that at my house if you have play dates.  They are a broken arm waiting to happen IMO.
