We bought this toy for our 16 month old twin girls. They absolutely love it! We did have problems with the rim falling off easily at first; but I called Little Tikes and they helped me solve the problem. They told me to take the backboard off, lay it on the floor and attach the hoop and then actually step on the flat part of the hoop until I heard it snap into place. This worked like a charm and the hoop hasn't fallen off since. We all enjoy playing basketball. Little Tikes has great toys and their customer service folks are really helpful if there's ever a problem.

I highly recommend this toy! I purchased this when my son was about 15 months old, and it still looks brand new even though we use it just about every day. We keep it in the house in the family room, and on rainy days when we can't get outside, it makes a wonderful physical activity. Every child who comes in this house can't resist playing with it! My nieces have enjoyed this as much as my two boys. My husband certainly has enjoyed it too. . .

This basketball set is great. As long as you attach the rim according to instructions and fill the base w/sand (use a wide mouth funnel), it will not come apart or tip over easily. My 20m old girl uses it almost every day, many times twice a day. Her 8 yr., 5 yr. and 2 yr. old cousins also love it. People who have had problems with the rim coming off did not attach it properly and those that tip over did not put sand in the base. It would be a good idea to buy a couple of extra same size balls and a small hand pump for them, especially if more than one child uses it at a time.

My son got this for his first birthday, and learned how to throw the ball through the hoop the same day. He and his 2 1/2 year old sister both love this toy. I also bought an extra ball so they'd both have one at the same time. It's lots of fun watching them play!! Highly recommended.

My son is in love with balls. All types. So, of course, the next step was to get him a goal to put them in. This adjustable hoop was just the thing.

We keep the hoop inside, so it has not been filled with sand. We have never had a problem with it toppling over, except when my son purposefully pulls it! He can move it where he wants it to be so he can line up the best shot possible. At two, he is very particular about where he stands and how far the hoop is away from him!

The incremental adjustment for the hoop is a wonderful feature. We keep the hoop just at fingertip height so that he has to stretch to put the ball in the hoop, which adds just the right amount of challenge.

This is a great toy for the rest of the family, too! My husband spends just as much time as my son shooting baskets, although usually from the couch across the room! The kickback feature of the base is a nice touch on this hoop, returning the ball to you after you have made the goal. A definite plus for the "big" kid couch potato.

This toy requires no tools for set up. I was able to set it up in less than 5 minutes. My 2 year old son loves it. I like the fact that you can adjust the height. I put this in the front yard of my home and all the toddlers in the neighbor play with it. It seems to be very durable. Had it for about one month now and it's still holding up. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Your child will love it.

My son received this when he was one and we set it up in the living room... Well, he's now almost three years old and still plays with this thing almost every single day! My husband and I play along with him, showing him how to "slam dunk" and everything! The height adjustment is a very good feature because our son is very tall for his age - it seems like we're adjusting it all the time. We have nothing bad at all to say about this product. You can use just about any type of ball with this too - it doesn't have to be the one that comes with it.

My 30 month old son really loves this toy. It is great in the fact that it's height can be adjusted with ease. It is also very durable with features like a break away hoop, water or sand filled base and a heavy duty backboard. This is deffinatly a recemmended first basketball set.

This is an excellent basketball hoop. Our 18 month old just loves it. He plays whenever he is awake!!! It even withstands his 13 and 14 year old cousins. Suggestion: Get extra balls!

We bought this for our 1st child when he was 1 1/2 yrs. old, that was 9 years ago! For the first few months, we kept it in the living room, then we moved it outside. It was outside from then on, except for the winter (we live in a snowy area). It survived very well, and finally bit the dust last spring when the rim was bent down and also cracked from falling over and hitting the driveway one too many times, because 9 & 10 yr. old boys were playing with it! (we had water in the base for a while, but then the kids dumped it out.) All 3 of my kids, as well as the neighbors, loved playing with it. The one drawback was that the soft rubber ball that comes with it popped years ago and we couldn't find an identical replacement, but found that a child sized (hard) basketball fit in the hoop as well. Also, by leaving this out in the sun for months at a time, the plastic hoop faded and probably weakened, but the rest of it was still in great shape when it went to the curb.
