I'd like it because it would be something they could do outside and get exercise, but I am concerned about how dangerous they are, as well as the liability of someone else's kid getting seriously injured at our house. Am I being overly-cautious?
I've also thought about a playground set, but I think my son would be pissed as he thinks he is too old for playgrounds.
Anyway, you all are a bunch of lawyers and dads. What is your opinion on trampolines?
(Alternate gift ideas that would appeal to a 3-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy are welcomed as well.)

Talk to your homeowner's insurance about them to determine how much it will increase them.
Then talk to ER physicians and determine if you still want one.
The safest ones I've seen are built into the ground with protections around the perimeter.
