Having a trampoline in your garden is a must to keep children active and entertained during lockdown.

It’s a great way to help them release pent-up energy, while improving their strength, balance and coordination skills.

Another bonus is that it’ll keep them away from screens and help get them some much needed vitamin D and fresh air.

We’ve rounded-up our favourite trampolines for all budgets and garden sizes – some can even be used inside as well.

Happy bouncing!
