If your child is under six years old, it is recommended that they don't use a full-size trampoline as their bodies are not developed enough to absorb the continuous bouncing. 

A mini trampoline or one with a handrail may be suitable for this age group as they do not have as much spring or recoil. 

1. If purchasing a trampoline, ensure it meets Australian standards including safety netting on all sides and safety padding around springs and steel frames
2. Place your home trampoline on even ground and a soft surface such as a grassed area
3. Ensure there are no hazards within 2 metres of the trampoline including the side of the house, fences, rocks or other toys
4. Have at least 5 metres of space above the trampoline to avoid your child hitting their head on objects such as the clothesline or a tree
5. Only allow one child on the trampoline at any given time
6. Don’t allow other objects or toys on the trampoline
7. Supervise your child when they are using a trampoline
8. Teach your child how to get down from a trampoline safely without jumping to the ground
9. Do not allow children to do somersaults; if your child is interested in these activities, seek out professional groups who can teach them safety around gymnastics and moving their body.
10. Do not allow children to go underneath the trampoline mat, especially when someone else is jumping on it
11. Regularly check your trampoline for any wear and tear including damage to the safety net or caused by exposure to the sun.
