Lifespan Kids vs Jumpflex
Lifespan Kids and Jumpflex are aimed at different jumpers. Lifespan's springless HyperJump 3 uses elastic straps and is rated to 140 kg at its largest. Jumpflex uses conventional springs and rates the MEGA to 225 kg per jumper and 450 kg combined.
Lifespan Kids sits below Jumpflex across the range and is frequently discounted below RRP. Both brands offer 10-year frame warranties at the top of their ranges, but Lifespan drops to 2 years on some models, and Jumpflex provides mat warranties of 1 to 5 years and a 1-year net warranty.
Neither brand has much of the range listed against the standard. Three Lifespan models are listed as meeting the Australian Trampoline Standard AS 4989:2015; no Jumpflex model is.
Choose Lifespan Kids if you want a springless mat, a lower price, or a published mat warranty. Choose Jumpflex if the trampoline needs to carry heavier jumpers or you want a square or rectangular shape.
