Springfree Trampolines

There’s nothing like Christmas morning. Can you imagine if Santa had something extra special delivered? Something that required your family to put on their robes and slippers and head to the backyard? Oh, the looks on their faces. Oh, the squeals of delight. A Christmas memory never to be forgotten. I mean, I remember those big Christmas moments from my childhood. Your kids will too.

There’s nothing quite like a Springfree Trampoline, which comes in many sizes to fit different backyards. In fact, Springfree is known as the World’s Safest Trampoline because it’s the only trampoline that uses patented fiberglass rods rather than springs. The whole product was built around safety from the rods, to the mat surface, to the enclosure, to the placement of the frame – resulting in a product that eliminates 90% of product related injuries. No one even comes close to Springfree. And when we are talking about the kids in your life, safety matters.

Buying a Springfree Trampoline is an investment. Springfree believes your backyard should be a place for safe play. Springfree’s innovative design is the world’s safest, highest quality and longest lasting trampoline supported by a full 10-year warranty.

No Springs: What? That’s right! Mat rods provide the safest bounce – Instead of springs which tend to stretch and rust and trap toes and feet, Springfree’s revolutionary design uses patented flexible rods. The rods provide a smooth, non-jarring bounce and lie beneath the jumping surface, out of harm’s way.
FlexiNet™ Safety Enclosure keeps the jumper on the trampoline – The patented FlexiNet enclosure has flexible supports to cushion jumpers and prevent falls. The jumper is directed back to the center and cannot make contact with the net rods. The zippered net also ensures jumpers cannot fall through the opening.
Frame situated beneath the jumping surface out of harm’s way – Additionally, with three layers of rust-preventative coating, our steel frames are built to endure even the most extreme weather.
SoftEdge™ Mat removes hard edges – Our proprietary mat is 30 times more shock-absorbent than pads found on traditional trampolines.

A Springfree Trampoline can be used all year and does not need to be covered or packed away even during the harshest summers or the coldest winters. Rain or Shine! Storms or Snow! That is so surprising and so important here in North Texas! Check out their full catalog.

Are you ready for a backyard trampoline? I bet your kids are. With time spent at home having increased this year so much, it’s an investment worth making for family fun, exercise, and smiles all around.

This holiday season, don’t get sucked into buying toys that will just end up in tomorrow’s donation piles. Give your family the gift of financial security – starting with the board games, CASHFLOW®, recently redesigned for a new generation of players, and CASHFLOW® for Kids.

From the New York Times best-selling author of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series, Robert Kiyosaki, these educational board games were created to give families a sneak peek into strategies to create lifelong financial security including how to build wealth and tips for maximizing passive income.

Plus, with CASHFLOW® for Kids, youngsters will learn core principles of income, debt, cashflow and capital gains as well as assets and liabilities in a fun, easy-to-understand way. Playing CASHFLOW® for Kids uses real-world examples to kids get into practice investing, acquiring assets and dealing with the perils of liabilities. Parents can use the game as a springboard to discuss often difficult topics like money, investment and debt in an informal way.

“When we play games, it is the truest example of our real-life behavior,” added Kiyosaki. “Kids learn lessons by playing games, it’s the best way for them to practice character and habits that they’ll use later in life. CASHFLOW® for Kids helps develop a strong foundation of financial intelligence and encourages kids to use their money wisely.”
