Editorial Review

Baby Playzone Basketball This is a fun, highly interactive basketball hoop that provides an opportunity for toddlers to exercise and practice their hand-eye coordination--it also delivers plenty of fun, colorful stimulation. Dropping balls through the hoop triggers the funny, spinning noise-making face in the middle of the backboard, as does dropping them through the holes on either side of the basket. These holes lead through tubes that lead to the base of the basket, providing endless toddler fascination as the balls disappear and reappear. A terrific toy even for those little ones not destined to join the (W)NBA. --David Stoesz

Baby Playzone Basketball includes three easy-to-grasp balls for your baby to shoot through the hoop, place in the ball drops or bounce off the light-up backboard.

This review is from: Fisher-Price Baby Playzone Basketball (Toy)

We got two of these as gifts for our son's first birthday. I thought he'd love it so much that instead of returning one to the store I decided to keep it at my office so he'd have something to play with there. Big Mistake! He was never interested in this toy -- we already had a Stand-Up Ball Blast, which he LOVED, and the only thing he ever did with this was try to put the balls from it into the Ball Blast (the basketballs are just big enough to get stuck in the Ball Blast). We got rid of this toy and he never even noticed it was gone. As other reviewers have said, it is nowhere near as sturdy as the Ball Blast for pulling up on. If I had it to do over I would exchange these gifts for something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as happy with this toy as I would have hoped!, January 24, 2003

I bought this toy because a friend of mine has the stand and play ball blast that my son loves! In hindsight, I wish I would have bought that instead! This toy is even lighter than the other and nearly impossible for my son to pull-up on...and I consider him to be very proficient at pulling-up! Also, the toy never seems to work right! The net is constantly pulling loose when he pulls-on it, which causes the music to not work when he makes a basket...also the balls seems to get stuck ALOT!! He has played with both the crusie and crawl playground and the stand and play ball blast and I was much more impressed with both of those! I think that I am going to exchange it for one of those two!

My son received this for his first birthday. Its a great toy for this age group. They love putting things in places, chasing balls, and the lights and music. A few negatives: After putting the balls in the two holes provided, lights and music play (to delight of baby), the balls drop and are supposed to roll out and down a ramp. They sometimes get stuck. Also, with nothing to stop them at the end of the ramp, they keep rolling! On hardwood floors this quickly means balls everywhere and baby with none to play with. We moved it to a carpeted room so the balls don't roll as far. Overall, its a great toy. Simple, yet fun. It teaches cause and effect improves fine moter skills.
