Diggin JumpSmart Electronic Mini Trampoline Review (2026)

Full Review

Availability Notice (April 2026)

Diggin Active (operating as Water Sports, LLC out of Emeryville, California) appears to have quietly moved on from trampolines. Their current catalogue focuses on outdoor sports toys, and the JumpSmart hasn’t been restocked through official channels in some time. Amazon still lists the B00264GIFO ASIN with 639 reviews, but stock is third-party or clearance only. If you find one new, it’s old inventory. If you’re considering a used one from a garage sale or marketplace listing, this review will help you decide whether it’s worth grabbing.

If you’re looking for a gaming trampoline that’s still in production, the TekyGo Mini Trampoline is the modern successor. Comparison below.

What Made the JumpSmart Different

Two things. The triangular shape and the built-in electronic game system.

That triangle wasn’t a gimmick. It reduced the footprint compared to a 36-inch round mini trampoline, and it tucked into corners and against walls more naturally. No other kids’ trampoline on the market used this shape, before or since.

An electronic module sat on the handlebar and ran five interactive game modes powered by 3 x AA batteries (not included, because of course they weren’t). A bounce sensor on the mat fed jump data to the module, and the games responded with lights, sounds, and voice prompts. For a 3-5 year old, this turned a basic bounce session into something they’d stick with for more than four minutes.

All 5 Game Modes

Nobody else lists all five by name, so here they are:

1. Bounce Counting – Counts each bounce out loud and tracks totals. Simple, but toddlers love hearing numbers climb. 2. Musical Statues – Music plays while the child bounces. When it stops, they freeze. Classic party game logic applied to a trampoline. 3. Silly Sounds – Each bounce triggers a random sound effect. Fart noises, animal calls, cartoon boings. Pure toddler comedy. 4. Animal Sounds – Similar to Silly Sounds but exclusively animal noises. Bouncing produces a cow, a duck, a monkey. Works as an informal learning tool for younger children. 5. Memory Match – The module plays a sequence of sounds, and the child has to bounce in the same pattern. Trickier than it sounds when you’re three years old and concentrating on not falling over.

Auto-shutoff kicks in after 2 minutes of inactivity. Good for batteries. Less good for the inevitable “where did the sounds go?” from the other room.

V1 vs V2: Which One Do You Have?

Diggin released two versions, and the differences matter.

V1 (original): Plastic frame, standard bungee cord webbing. Lighter and easier to move around, but the plastic flexed under heavier children and the cords wore faster.

V2 (upgraded): Metal frame with Diggin’s “Stretch Tech” reinforced webbing system. Sturdier, less flex, and the webbing held up better over time. Assembly improved too, with no threading required for the bungee cords.

V2 is the better unit by a clear margin. If you’re buying secondhand, check the frame material. Metal means V2. All-plastic means V1, and you should factor in shorter durability.

Our original review page doesn’t specify which version it covered. Based on the dimensions and bungee cord description, it was likely a V1 or early production unit.

Key Specifications

A note on age range: our previous page listed 2+ years. Diggin’s own spec sheets and retail packaging say 3+. We’ve corrected this. A 2-year-old can physically bounce on it, but the game modes need coordination that most children under 3 don’t have yet.

Assembly: Bring a Friend

Our original review’s advice still holds, and we’re keeping it because it’s accurate: assembly requires at least two people, a few drinks, and steel nerves.

Bungee cord attachment on the V1 was the main pain point. You’re stretching cords across the frame while trying to hook them into place, and the tension fights you at every step. Multiple owners swear by zip ties as a temporary alignment trick. One parent described it as “wrestling an octopus into a shoebox.” Read the full instructions before you start, not during. Several parents found that watching a YouTube assembly video first cut their time in half.

V2 improved this with its no-threading bungee design, but “improved” is relative. Still a two-person job. Budget 30-45 minutes for the V1, about 20 for the V2 if things go smoothly.

The Modern Successor: TekyGo

Can’t find a JumpSmart in stock? The TekyGo Mini Trampoline Bundle is where the category went.

TekyGo doubled the game count and moved everything to your TV screen, with a sensor tracking bounce intensity and frequency. The JumpSmart’s audio-only module feels primitive next to it. But the JumpSmart didn’t need a TV, didn’t need HDMI, and cost noticeably less. For a grandparent’s house or a playroom without a spare screen, that simpler approach had real advantages.

Little Tikes 3ft is the no-frills option if you don’t care about games at all. No electronics, no batteries, no assembly drama. Just a bounce surface with a handlebar at a budget price.

Who This Was For

• Parents of 3-5 year olds who wanted something more engaging than a plain bounce surface
• Small-space families who appreciated the triangular footprint tucking into corners
• Anyone buying for a home without a spare TV where the TekyGo’s screen requirement didn’t work

Who Should Look Elsewhere

• Anyone who needs it new and in stock. Production has almost certainly ended.
• Children under 3. The game modes need coordination that most toddlers under 3 haven’t developed.
• Parents wanting a long-term trampoline. The 80 lb limit and toddler-focused games mean a 2-3 year usable window at best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Diggin JumpSmart trampoline still being made?

Almost certainly not. Diggin Active’s current product line has no trampolines, and new stock hasn’t appeared through major retailers in years. The Amazon listing (B00264GIFO) occasionally shows third-party or clearance stock, but availability is unpredictable.

What age is the JumpSmart actually for?

Diggin’s spec sheets say 3+. Our previous page listed 2+, which we’ve corrected. Children under 3 can bounce on it safely with supervision, but the game modes need coordination and attention that most 2-year-olds don’t have yet. Practical sweet spot is 3-5 years old.

What batteries does the JumpSmart need?

Three AA batteries, not included. The electronic module shuts off automatically after 2 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

What’s the difference between JumpSmart V1 and V2?

V2 has a metal frame (V1 is plastic) and uses Diggin’s “Stretch Tech” reinforced webbing instead of standard bungee cords. Sturdier, lasts longer, and assembly is somewhat easier. If buying secondhand, check the frame material to identify which version you’re getting.

What replaced the JumpSmart?

The TekyGo Mini Trampoline Bundle is the closest modern equivalent. It connects to your TV and offers 10 educational games compared to the JumpSmart’s 5 audio-only modes. Costs more (more expensive than the JumpSmart was at MSRP) and requires an HDMI-equipped TV.
