1.0 out of 5 stars Poor design, February 4, 2009

We bought this product for my son in September 2008 and have had a number of issues with it due to it's poor design:

- The locking mechanism to lock the plastic standard in place doesn't retain the basket at the height you want to set it and keeps sliding down. This is due to the flimsy hollow plastic of the base/standard. The locking mechanism can't get a good grip on the indentation that was molded to keep it at a certain height.
- The rim is a "break-away" rim that is held up only by a plastic bump. Over time as it wears it leaves the rim sagging down.
- The nets are very difficult to thread through the tiny holes they molded into the rim and are always coming undone.

I got this for my 2 year old twins. They love it. I anticipated the net coming down from the reviews I read so I super glued it and it seems to have done the job.

I purchased this for my 5 y.o. and 18 month old boys. They love it. I just wish Little Tikes would come up with a way to snap the net onto the rim...It is frustrating to have to fix the net every few minutes because it is coming undone.
