My 7 month old son loves to play with the balls & he loves hearing the music play everytime he kicks it or reaches in. He's hasn't quite old enough to actually "make a basket" without help. The one complaint I have is that when you try to pick up the toy, from the top of basket, it falls apart. There is no way to lock the top & bottom parts together. That causes concern since my son could pick it up & have the bottom fall on him & he gets hurt.

Reading the box I thought it would be a wonderful toy for my 8 month old. However, everytime he pulls on the net the entire top half comes apart. That's know fun because he cannot put it back together. It should have a locking mechanism so that it would not come apart.

We got this toy at Christmas when Ethan was 5 mos., he is now 10 mos. He likes to spin the side spinner but that's about all. I agree that the hoop falls off MUCH too easily and it was really hard to put the bottom pieces together. It seemed silly they weren't already connected. Ethan loves playing with the balls alone but not worth the money.

I received this toy for Easter for my Twins in thier baskets. I have to say that the nicest part of the toy is the three brightly colored balls. I am a big Fisher Price fan and I like the adjustable volume and the music is not too overbearing but the toy is not made well. The hoop attachement falls off way to easily (everytime) and having to re-assemble it each time its touched is annoying. With three small kids, I need a toy to hold up for play. It's not worth the money and I would not give this to anyone else.

My mom bought this toy for my son when he was nine months old and he loves it! Music plays and lights flash when he puts the balls in the hoop. He figured out the point of the game right away. The balls are brightly colored and he will crawl all over the house to retrieve them. The hoop attachment does come off of the base easily but that is because it is reversible (the bottom of the toy can either be a basket to contain the balls or a platform that allows the balls to roll away so baby has to crawl after them) and it has never been a problem for us. We clap and cheer when he makes a basket and he gets really excited. This toy is very interactive because adults can easily play baskets with the child - even grandad likes getting in on the action! This is always the first toy my son chooses to play when we go to Grandma's house.

I bought this thinking it looked fun. Welll advertisement got me! I even called fisher price and told them that the product was hard to put together, not durrable, and fell apart easily. I am going to return it to babies r us because it is not worth the $20.

After spending an impossibly long time extricating this thing from the box, I discovered that the base had to be assembled. Unfortunately, the three mini Phillips head screws started getting stripped before I had them screwed in halfway. I don't know if this is just mine or a universal problem. At 6 months, my daughter still isn't very sturdy sitting up by herself and I had hoped that this would give her something to hold on to and support herself somewhat, but the bottom is rounded and falls over very easily. The three balls are NOT soft, they are hollow plastic and do hurt when you get hit with them. They are also too big for a 6 month old's hands. I also had the same problem as other reviewers where the top half comes unconnected from the base, causing the lights to stop working. I would recommend waiting until 8 months maybe before trying this one. Maybe by then it would be easier to play with.

My son almost 7 months old and this has been his favorite toy for months. He can hold the balls in one hand (sometimes one in each hand) and has figured out how to put them in the basket. He also chases the balls around the room and loves to watch his daddy juggle them. He loves to hear the music and looks perplexed when he makes a basket and the toy isn't turned on! Yes, the top comes apart from the bottom occasionally but not everytime by any means. My son picks it up, pulls it around, and it stays put together. I got online to order another one for grandma's house and was VERY surprised to see such a low review.

I heard that at 8 months babies should be putting balls into things so I bought this toy for my 9 month old daughter. First, a screw head broke off. Second, the base isn't connected very well. and third my daughter likes the balls but shows no interest in the toy. I don't feel that it's age appropriate. maybe if I wait a month or so she'll like it.

I received this as a gift for my 6-month old. He has a little trouble keeping hold of the balls because they are too large for his little hands, but we have fun together playing "Slam Dunk". Might be better when he gets a little more coordination.
