Bounce Pro 7′ My First Trampoline Review (2026)

Full Review

Bounce Pro isn’t really a brand. The name belongs to Sportspower Limited, a Hong Kong-based manufacturer that builds trampolines, swing sets, and play equipment for big-box retailers. Sportspower sells through Walmart under “Bounce Pro,” through Academy Sports as “JumpZone,” and under their own name at Dick’s Sporting Goods. They’ve been doing this across 15+ countries for decades. There’s no Bounce Pro headquarters, no Bounce Pro R&D lab, no brand-loyal customer service team. You’re buying a Sportspower product in Walmart packaging.

Knowing that helps set expectations. The 7′ My First Trampoline is exactly what a mass-market manufacturer builds when the brief says “cheapest possible kids trampoline that still feels safe.” And for children aged 3-8, that’s not a bad brief.

PT Score: 42/100 (Fair)

The 42 overall reflects our weakest-component methodology. Springs scored 42/100, and that single number pulls the whole rating down. But the enclosure scored 80/100 and value scored 82/100. Those two numbers tell you more about who this trampoline is for than the headline score does.

A parent buying for a 4-year-old doesn’t need a high-performance spring system. They need a trampoline that’s low to the ground, keeps their kid inside the net, and costs at a lower price. On those three criteria, the Bounce Pro 7′ delivers.

Key Specifications

A note on pricing: the current PT page lists an incorrect price. That figure was pulled from a stale data source. The Bounce Pro 7′ has consistently retailed across a wide range at Walmart at Walmart’s typical mid-tier kids trampoline price. It’s a budget kids trampoline, not a premium investment.

Stock Availability (April 2026)

As of April 2026, all 7-foot hexagonal Bounce Pro variants are showing out of stock on Walmart’s website. This includes the standard blue/green model, the Flash Light Zone version, and the trampoline-and-swing combo. Could be seasonal restocking, could be a quiet discontinuation. Sportspower regularly rotates SKUs, so this could go either way.

If you’re reading this and it’s back in stock, the review still applies. The design hasn’t changed in years.

Why the Springs Score 42/100

The spring system is the weakest component, and on a trampoline built for 3-8 year olds weighing under 100 lbs, that’s a deliberate trade-off.

These are short galvanised steel springs. They produce a low, controlled bounce with limited height. For an adult or teenager, this would be frustrating. For a 4-year-old who weighs 40 lbs, it’s appropriate. Young children don’t need a powerful spring system that launches them three feet in the air. A gentle bounce surface inside a secure enclosure, close to the ground, is the whole point.

Sportspower sews the spring cover directly to the jump mat. This eliminates the gap between mat and padding that causes pinch injuries on cheaper trampolines. Simple design choice, but it works.

We couldn’t confirm the exact spring count from any manufacturer source or the Walmart listing. Third-party reviews mention ranges from 50 to 100, but nothing definitive. If you’re comparing spring counts, the SkyBound Super 7 uses 36 x 5.5-inch springs and the Little Tikes 7ft uses 36 springs. Without a confirmed count for the Bounce Pro, a direct spring-to-spring comparison isn’t possible.

Enclosure: 80/100

The 3-arch mesh enclosure is the strongest part of this trampoline. It wraps the full perimeter, connects to foam-padded poles, and uses a zipper entry with a 25-inch entrance height. For a young child, that entrance height is low enough to climb through independently.

Visibility from outside is unrestricted. You can supervise from across the yard without hovering at the zipper. Foam pole padding is thick enough to prevent bruising on impact. For a budget trampoline, this is a well-designed enclosure.

Value: 82/100

At its typical retail price you’re getting a full enclosure, ASTM certification, UV-resistant materials, and a one-year warranty. Comparable kids trampolines from recognised brands run noticeably higher.

The Skywalker 8ft costs more and offers a higher weight limit and basketball hoop, but you’re paying 45% more. The Little Tikes 7ft runs higher, mostly because of brand recognition. The Bounce Pro gives you a functional, safe, age-appropriate trampoline for less than any of those.

Sportspower’s CPSC Recall History

In May 2012, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled Sportspower’s BouncePro 14′ trampoline (model TR-1686-TPR) after 17 reports of enclosure netting breaking, resulting in 11 injuries including broken bones and back injuries. Sportspower expanded the recall in 2013 after nine more reports.

That recall involved a 14-foot adult trampoline sold between 2009 and 2012, not the 7′ My First Trampoline reviewed here. Different product, different netting design, different era. But it’s worth knowing the manufacturer has had quality control issues with enclosure materials in the past. We include it because we’d rather over-disclose than leave it out.

How It Compares

The Bounce Pro 7′ competes against other entry-level kids trampolines, not adult models or fitness rebounders.

The SkyBound Super 7 is the closest competitor on price and purpose. It offers 10 lbs more capacity, a 2-year frame warranty, and an octagonal shape with a safety-focused enclosure. at a similar price it’s only slightly more and gives you longer warranty coverage.

The Skywalker 8ft is the step-up choice if your child is older or heavier. At 175 lbs capacity with 56 springs, it’ll serve a wider age range and deliver a better bounce. The basketball hoop is a nice extra for kids who’ll use it daily. But it’s outdoor-only and costs noticeably more.

The Little Tikes 7ft costs more than double the Bounce Pro and offers less in most measurable ways. You’re paying for the brand name and a 90-day warranty that’s shorter than Sportspower’s 1-year coverage.

Who This Is For

• Parents of 3-8 year olds on a budget who want a safe, enclosed outdoor trampoline at the budget tier
• Families with limited yard space looking for a compact hexagonal footprint
• First-time trampoline buyers who don’t want to overspend on a product their child may outgrow in 2-3 years

Who This Is NOT For

• Children over 100 lbs. The weight limit is firm, and exceeding it accelerates spring and mat wear.
• Older kids or teens wanting serious bounce. The spring system is intentionally mild. The Skywalker 8ft is a better fit.
• Parents who prioritise long warranties. One year is standard for this price range but short compared to SkyBound’s 2-year or Skywalker’s 3-year frame coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the weight limit for the Bounce Pro 7ft trampoline?

The official listing says 100 lbs. Some Walmart product pages show 110 lbs. We’d stick with 100 lbs as the safe figure since that’s the number most consistently listed across Sportspower’s own materials.

Is the Bounce Pro 7ft good for indoor use?

It can work indoors if you have the ceiling height. The trampoline stands about 6 feet tall with the enclosure, so you need at least 8 feet of clearance. The 33 lb weight makes it movable, but the hexagonal footprint takes up more floor space than a round 7ft model would.

Who makes Bounce Pro trampolines?

Sportspower Limited, a manufacturer based in Hong Kong. They produce trampolines and outdoor play equipment for several major retailers. You’ll find the same manufacturer behind JumpZone (Academy Sports), Jump Pro, and Parkside branded trampolines. Bounce Pro is the Walmart-exclusive label.

Is the Bounce Pro 7ft trampoline ASTM certified?

Yes. Sportspower states the mat, spring pad, and enclosure netting are UV-tested to twice the ASTM standard. This covers material durability and UV resistance, which matters for outdoor use where sun exposure degrades cheaper materials within a season.

Why is the PT Score only 42/100?

Our scoring uses the weakest-component method. The springs scored 42, and that pulls the overall down. But context matters: the enclosure scored 80 and value scored 82. For its intended audience (young children, budget families), the low spring score reflects a safe, age-appropriate design choice, not a defect.

Has the Bounce Pro 7ft been recalled?

No. The CPSC recall in 2012 involved Sportspower’s 14-foot BouncePro model (TR-1686-TPR), a full-size trampoline with a different enclosure netting design. The 7′ My First Trampoline is a separate product line and was not part of that recall.
