All of my cousins have a blast with this and played with it for hours at Christmas time after receiving it. The only thing that concerned me was that the backboard doesn’t fit all the way down in the pole. Either way though, it was plenty durable for 5 boys slamming and jamming on it for hours!

Fun for all ages. We got it for my 19 mt. old grandson. He enjoys it very mutch. My 28 yr old plays with it also. Good because it adjust to age as well as size.It can be used inside as well as outside.

We purchased this toy for our 22 month old grandson… My daughter in law claims its the first words out of his mouth every morning when he wakes up “b-ball”. Also, that she can not get him into the tub at night until he experiences a little “twi-light b-ball”
Its great for increasing your child’s gross motor skills along with their hand to eye coordination. Its build sturdy and durable to last. We have 8 children, 6 grandchildren and prefer to give them gifts of quality. A toy that will last to be handed down to new siblings in the years to follow. Also a toy that gets the child happily moving. We are very satisfied with this toy choice!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Little Tikes Easy Score Basketball Set…We bought a similar hoop for our kids 15 years ago that has grown as tall as it can, has withstood the test of time, four children, friends and family, and still gets used today! This hoop was for our nephew, age 1 1/2, for Christmas. HE AND HIS DADDY ARE LOVING IT and Zachary already knows how to “take it to the hoop!” It is sturdy, it will grow with him, and they will have MANY happy years playing with this wonderful ‘toy’ ;o)

The Con’s first: hard to get it all set up (one part didn’t fit exactly right but I was able to pry the plastic pieces into the slots with a screwdriver). Also- not real sturdy, only for toddlers 2-4. That’s OK- I didn’t expect it to be otherwise.
The Pro’s: once assembled, my Grandson loved it! He is learning to make hoops from further and further away and we have lots of fun with it (sometimes I let him throw the ball backwards!). The ball is perfectly weighted so that it works as a basketball but I can still let him play with this set in the house (ball is too light to hurt anything nearby).
So…for toddlers 2-4 – I highly recommend!!

We were pleasantly surprised that our gift to my 18 month old nephew was a hit at Christmas. He LOVED his basketball hoop and ball. He couldn’t even wait for us to get the net on the hoop, he started slam dunking the ball immediately, and was so happy playing with it!! The entire family was entertained by his antics for at least 15 minutes, which for a toddler is a lot of time to dedicate to one activity. Awesome, awesome gift.

We got this for our son’s 3rd birthday and it’s been a big hit! All 3 of our kids (ages 4 1/2, 3 & 1 1/2) are able to use it since it adjusts in height. I think this will be used for many years to come! It is not extremely stable and sturdy even when weighed down with water, but it hasn’t fallen over or anything and I think it will hold up well even with kids being a little rough with it. Overall, we really like it!

This product is scary good. What do I mean by that? Let me explain.
With a 4 year old girl and an 18 month old little boy we thought this might be a fun product to try. I opened the box, set it up in a couple minutes and watched the kids start playing, and playing, and playing, and playing.
My wife and I were stunned. Both children spent hours shooting baskets. Even my little one was shooting and consistently making bank shots from 2 feet out with the hoop height set just above his head. Fortunately we had a couple other similarly sized balls around the house which prevented arguments over whose turn it was.
Both kids were so caught up in the fun and were doing so well that it wasn’t long before the video camera and regular camera were clicking away. My little boy went to sleep that night with his arm curled around the basketball (similar to how he might hold a teddy) because he screamed when we tried to take it away. The first words out of his mouth the next morning was “shoot, shoot” as he stood up in his crib holding the ball. My wife commented that I’ve created a couple basketball monsters.
We’ve never had that type of reaction to a new toy and in some ways it was a bit daunting. I’m not sure if our children’s reactions are typical, but at least in this house, this product is a huge hit.

I have seen quite a few comments about the net falling off. If you read the instructions there is no way the net is going to come off.
My three year old son loves this toy. He plays with it day and night.

We purchased this toy for my 13 mo old son as a Christmas gift. He LOVES it. Even my 4 yr old daughter likes to play. The easy adjustable height feature is perfect. Even my 4 yr old can adjust the height,,, to make it more challenging. My husband filled the bottom with sand and not once has it leaked, nor the basket tipped over. Pretty durable for the “rough-house” play it receives in my family. Even my husband has fun shooting hoops from across the room. It has become the best “family” centered Christmas gift.
