5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun Indoors or Outdoors November 11, 2008

By Ursula K. Raphael TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I bought this for my 3yr old son over a year ago, and he still plays with it all the time. Our walk-out basement has a big open area we use for playtime when the weather is bad, and this is a nice addition for the downstairs entertainment.

It was very easy to put together, and it comes with one basketall, which is just the right size for little hands. There are two models available: one has adjustable height (with blue column), but this model (with yellow column) is not adjustable.

(We have neighbors who use theirs outside; there is a cap you can take off to fill the bottom with sand, so it doesn't blow over.) This is a favorite among all the little neighborhood kids.

We also have the Little Tikes Totsports Bowling Set, so our son doesn't get cabin fever during snow-ins or rainstorms.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rim falls out within a few throws of the basketball. April 16, 2010

As you can see my son LOVES the basketball hoop, but the rim just isn't secure in the headboard. After about 5-10 shots it falls out. I'm going to bring this one back and search for a different one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good December 31, 2009

By Pumpkin's Momma

Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

We purchased this for our 20 month old son. Overall it is nice. Lightweight so if it falls it won't hurt him but the rim comes out of the back board very easy. Our son isn't pulling on the net, simply a few throws of the ball and it falls out. It is not a secure fit but the assembly was very easy, no tools or screws.

I am not sure how it is adjustable in height like the other reviewer states. It is nice indoor and you can fill the bottom with sand or water but it isn't too top heavy and you can get away with out putting the weight on bottom.

If the rim would stay on better this would be 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not the adjustable one January 8, 2011

Everyone who commented about this product being adjustable is reviewing the wrong toy (Little Tikes does make one, but as a previous poster said, it's blue not yellow).

We have had it a few weeks and have had no problems with it. I was disappointed that the box says 18 months and up. My son is 19 months and is over 98th percent in height and he is too small to be able to reach the goal. I really wish I would have waited until his birthday, he will get much more use out of it then. Needless to say he doesn't play with it too much since he can't make it into the goal (though Daddy is having a blast haha), he tries enough but gives up of course. You definitely need some sand to weight it down, I knocked it over the other day while vacuuming.

2.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy December 31, 2010

It's flimsy. Jacques loves it, but the ring falls out every second throw. The stem is a loose fit and wobbly, even when filled with sand, and the adjustable bit, whilst a great idea, is poorly executed.

I wouldn't recommend this unless you had a lot of epoxy and superglue to tighten up all the loose joints.

The basketball hoop is great. I didn't know that it was taller than the other basketball hoop. So know if you are buying it for your one to two year old, the shorter basketball hoop is what you will want. My kid will need to grow a bit to use this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Little guys love it September 16, 2011

I have toddler twin boys, and one them tried this at a friend's house, and we had to get it. They taper off a bit when playing with it, but this is definitely something that can easily have years of fun with. I like that it teaches them coordination, and it also teaches them how to throw and direct, and catch.

The base cap was incredibly hard to get off - I had to use pliers. I shortly tried filling it with water, but it is NOT waterproof. So I will put in the sand or small gravel to keep it from tipping over less easily. And to keep my creative boys from dragging it all over the house to use as as stepping stool :)

My husband and I bought this for our son for his first birthday. It was way too big, and it's not adjustable, but our son still loves to play with this and we lift him up so he can throw balls through the hoop. Good buy.
