5.0 out of 5 stars Best Hoop for a young child, August 28, 2008

By 

PC Slayer (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

Forget the plastic non-adjustable toy hoops. This is the one to get. It looks and feels like the real thing. It's lowest height is perfect for my 2 and 1/2 year old, and grows on from there. It actually extends in a few inch increments and gets pretty high for a kid. The 5-inch ball that comes with it is great for tossing but not for bouncing as it's bounce is not predictable, so for more advanced kids you'll want a Jr. basketball, which will fit through the hoop but will be a little tight. It can still be done though.

Conclusion: If you are thinking about getting a "real standard size" adjustable hoop, then get that over this one beacause of the hoop diameter limitation. But, if you are shopping for a very young child one, this one is the best one, price and all considered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great toy!, November 11, 2006

My son got this for his 3rd birthday. It was a cinch to put together, adjusts very easily and has withstood the outdoors for over a year now and still looks good. The only thing I wish is that the ball/hoop were a little bigger. My son now wants a larger ball that he can learn to dribble and the one that comes with this is just a little small for that. Otherwise it's a solid investment.

We bought this for our grandson and it was perfect. The price was much less that others we saw, the quality as good or better. Our grandson was only 18 months at the time and he was able to use it perfectly. It expands as my grandson grows so he will be able to use it for a few years. It includes the ball and I want to point out that the basket is large enough to fit a junior basketball(although it may not be too easy to play with but it will go through). It is very sturdy, my grandson is a climber and it stood up to his shenanigans.
