See some recommendations from pediatrician Paulo Telles, member of the SBP (Brazilian Society of Pediatrics): • The maximum weight and child capacity of the toy, as stated in the instruction manual, must always be respected • The pogo stick must be securely fixed to the floor • Water or soap should not be used during play • If more than one child is involved, make sure they are of similar age, weight and height • Do not allow jumping with somersaults or pirouettes Dr. Nelson Douglas Ejzenbaum, pediatrician, neonatologist and member of the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), stated that, without the necessary care, trampolines can be dangerous toys. “There must be side protections and the maximum number of children, according to the size of the bounce house, must be accommodated, so that they don’t fall on top of each other,” he said. Risks If an accident occurs, children can suffer from minor injuries, such as bruises and fractures, to more serious and worrying injuries, such as head trauma. “In more serious cases, when children fall wrong or jump in the wrong way, that is, they do somersaults, the child can fall and have a spinal cord injury, even causing quadriplegia or paraplegia”, warns Ejzenbaum.
