Keep the whole family active this summer with a 12-foot trampoline that's sure to keep kids entertained while reducing screen time through the summer break - and right now it's on sale Keeping kids occupied through the long school holidays can be tough, especially if you don't have the time or income to be able to take them on days out multiple times a week. And thanks to Netflix's hit show Adolescence, parents are more cautious than ever to encourage prolonged screen time.

Whether it's kids burning off energy or adults pretending they're 'testing it,' it holds up really well. At this price point, I think it offers good value. It's safe, sturdy, and fun, which is everything you want in a family trampoline. Great for keeping everyone moving without having to leave the garden." Another shopper says: " This trampoline has been a real improvement for our garden! The children absolutely love it. It has encouraged them to spend more time outdoors." And a third chimes in: "My whole family absolutely loves it. It takes a good part of our garden but it is totally worth it. Quite easy to asamblate, just follow the instructions, and also there is a tool that will help you to hook up all the springs, we realised it afterwards, this was the most difficult part and would have bean easier if the manufacturer would have indicated it. My kids would spend most of the day in it, and especially my gymnastics obsessed daughter."

Amazon Prime Day is an excellent time to invest in new home appliances, but the four-day sale ends today. I've spent many hours over the last three days rounding up the best Prime Day air conditioner deals with the urgency of someone whose own AC was broken. So it bears saying: While the prices remain hot, this is your last chance at scoring any of these Prime Day AC deals. I found that many of our favorite models—ones which we've included in our roundups of the best air conditioners—are still on sale. For example, the Midea Duo Inverter Portable Air Conditioner, which we awarded the best portable air conditioner overall, is $100 off right now. Our top value window model, the Midea EasyCool Window Air Conditioner, is just $150. You can also score $70 off the popular SereneLife SPLAC10 Portable Air Conditioner, our choice for the best value portable model.

Let's dive right into our top five products. The Best Paddle Boards Right Now Our All-Around Pick for The Best Paddle Board SereneLife Premium Inflatable Stand-Up Paddle Board Review What We Think of the SereneLife Premium Inflatable Stand-Up Paddle Board We are big fans of the SereneLife Premium Inflatable Stand-Up Paddle Board. Its performance capabilities jumped out at us right away, so we'll start there. This board has three fins on the bottom instead of just one, so it's a lot easier to steer and navigate around obstacles. It's also incredibly stable, so you can feel confident using it for any type of water-based activity you can dream up. An adjustable paddle, carry bag, pump, ankle strap, and repair kit are all included with the board—say goodbye to extra purchases! It has several D-rings to accommodate extra accessories, and it has bungee gear storage at the nose to secure your belongings. Nice touch, right? As one of the lightest inflatable boards around, this is a great option for people who have longer walks to the water. The only low point we can see with this board is the low weight capacity—most full-size paddle boards can accommodate at least 300 pounds, and that's much better for supporting a full range of body types and sizes along with their gear, pets, and/or small children. So just make sure you pay attention to how much weight you're putting on the board.

When it comes to leisure time spent on a paddle board, this one is the best fit, and that's because of its extra-wide design and additional stability fin—you'll be able to do yoga, meditate, read, or whatever else you like to do without worrying about tipping over. This paddle board is also compatible with a ton of additional accessories like kayak seats, cup holders, etc., all thanks to the D-rings. It has bungee straps to hold your gear, too. This paddle board is especially easy to carry around, too. It deflates for easy transport and packing in the car, but when it's inflated, it has two durable side handles and a shoulder strap to make sure you can be comfortable moving from one spot to the next. There is only one main downside to choosing this paddle board, and it's only going to come up if you rely on the manual pump for inflation—it's of very poor quality and is likely to break after one or two uses. Not ideal, we know. The only other potential issue is with height compatibility—it's designed for people 5'11' or shorter, so it might not be quite right for you if you're taller than that. All in all, the Niphean Inflatable Paddle Board with StabilTrac Fin was an easy favourite for us this year. It's great for all types of recreational activities on the water, and it's perfect for beginners. You won't regret choosing this one.

Isn't that exactly what you're looking for? One of our favourite things is how family-friendly it is. It's incredibly lightweight and has a large non-slip pad, so it's perfect for adults and kids to use safely, even if you're all beginners. The paddle board is also super durable and reliably inflates and deflates for years of use. If you plan to go paddle boarding a lot, this board will be a great companion. It also packs very well in a backpack-style carry bag, so even if you have to walk (or hike!) to your destination, you won't have to worry about getting tired before you even hit the water. What a relief! The main issue we have with this paddle board actually has nothing to do with the board, but its accessories. The manual pump, carry bag, and paddle are all pretty low quality, so you'll have to replace them before too long. Also, the paddle is quite heavy, so long paddles won't be super comfortable, especially if your upper body strength needs some work. Overall, the FunWater Inflatable Ultra-Light Stand Up Paddle Board is our favourite option for shoppers on a budget this year. You truly can't beat the price of this one, but since it's also travel-friendly, family-friendly, and super durable, it'll be perfect for every adventure to come.

They think the accessories (paddle, pump, and carry bag) could do with some improvement, though.

This board doesn't come with a repair kit, so you might want to invest in one if you aren't sure how to care for it properly. Also, this board will need some extra time to dry in the sun before you pack it away, so plan your paddleboarding days accordingly!

Tuxedo Sailor Premium Inflatable Stand-Up Paddle Board Specifications Dimensions: 7'8' x 30' x 4' Weight: 24.6 lbs Weight Capacity: 170 lbs Type: Inflatable Warranty: 3 years on board, 1 year on accessories How to Properly Choose Your Paddle Board Price Paddleboards can cost less than $150, but they can also cost more than $1,000. It depends on what type of board you're looking at. Larger boards will be more expensive than smaller ones, and hard boards will typically be more expensive than inflatables. You'll want to check out the included accessories to get a true idea of the overall value, though. Weight Capacity The weight capacity of a full-size paddle board will usually be 300 pounds or higher, but some are as low as 275 pounds. Make sure you pay attention to this before you buy, especially if you'll want to bring a ton of gear or a small pet/child along with you. Kids' boards will usually have a weight capacity between 150 and 200 pounds, so they'll be really stable. Size The dimensions of a paddle board will affect how well it suits your body type and how it performs on the water. Larger boards will be more stable, and smaller boards will be faster and more maneuverable. Included Accessories Every paddle board will come with accessories of some sort, but not every kit is created equal. Some paddle boards will only come with their removable fins and the much-needed ankle strap for safety. Other paddle board kits will include things like a paddle, a repair kit, a travel bag, an air pump, a dry bag, etc. Hard vs. Inflatable Board Paddle boards can be made of solid materials or they can be inflatable. Hard boards are trickier to travel with and are heavier, but they're also more durable and offer better performance on the water. Inflatable paddle boards are much more portable and are typically less expensive. Fin Design A paddle board will typically have either one or three fins on the bottom. A single fin is more common, but a triple-fin design will be more stable and glide smoother. 21 Genius Golf Accessories To Level Up Your Game This Summer We Gave This Bite-Relief Tool A Try — Here's How It Worked I Was Skeptical About The Liquid I.V.
