Great Toy!
This toy is great! We bought it for our daughters 3-year birthday and she absolutely loves it. It's a great outdoor toy, well worth the money.

My Son loves this toy!
My son recieved this toy for Christmas and plays with it all the time. I like how there is an adjustable feature where he can grow with it. My son's eye hand coordination has also improved so much since recieving this toy. I highly recommend this toy!!!!!

A time honored tradition
Any child will have fun with this. Both my son and daughter can't get enough. And since the ball is stationary and the stand is height adjustable, children can actually hit the ball, thus building their self-esteem and confidence. Such a modest price for loads of fun. And educational? I think so. The rate in child obesity is higher than it's ever been (thanks to all those video and computer games). This teaches children from early on that fitness doesn't have to be chore- it can be really fun!

geat toy!!!
My son absolutely loves this t-ball set. It is very durable and can be beat to death. He has improved greatly on his hand eye coordination. We bought this for him when he was 15 months old and he has been playing with it ever since. It is easily stored too. I definately recommend!

love it!!!!
our son is 18 months and loves his new t-ball set... he is able to put the ball on the tee and swing the bat. Great for children 18 month or older ... Read more

Editorial Review

Hey, even Michael Jordan was a toddler once. And just think of how many more millions he might have made if he had practiced on a hoop-and-ball set like this one when he was a height-challenged hoopster. With the Easy Score Basketball set those impromptu dunking clinics will be challenging, but no longer impossible. Future MJs can now practice their skills with ease, because the Easy Score adjusts to height, has a size-appropriate hoop, and is made of durable plastic. The over-size rim (1 foot across, with a nylon hoop) can be set anywhere, as it only rises from 2.5 to 4 feet high, putting lay-ups and treys just within reach. A sturdy 15-by-19-inch base keeps the basket from tipping; this is important for young hoopsters who get a little too exuberant. The set comes with a tot-sized (6-inch-wide) rubber b-ball.--Paul Hughes ... Read more

Darn good toy, my 20m old girl LOVES it!
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.

Great toy.
We bought this for our 22 mo old son for christmas. He loves to play ball...any kind. An even younger child, like 18 month would be a good intro for this toy also. He really likes this. I think it will endure his roughness. It was easy to put together. Santa appreciated that. Enjoy.

We Keep this in the Family Room!
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. . .

Excellent Toy
My toddler loves this. Very durable, but must make sure the rim snaps into place.

Super fun for my son!
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. ... Read more

Awesome toy - extremely durable for boys!
Okay, if you have a boy, grab this set. Little Tikes must know how strong little guys get and make their products accordingly. Our neighbor decided that my son needed to learn how to play golf so I had to get him this set. It is so much better than my neighbor's daughter's set and 10 times more durable. She has a generic one but I opted for Little Tikes because I know how rough my guy can be. He has so much fun with this set and we even bought him a package of tees so he can golf like a pro. He really enjoys it and has even learned a great swing at three!

Megan's Mom
I purchased this Golf Set for my daughter at least 18 months ago & can't complain one bit about it. It has been played with very frequently but still looks new. Every child (& some adults) that come over play with it (b/c she's always handing someone one of the clubs hehe) and it makes everyone happy. It is a very durable toy but I also see it as a way to teach good sportsmanship & sharing skills.

Don't forget the girls!
We bought this for our daughter for her second birthday and she loves it. It is outside, which I am now realizing is a big mistake. She turns everything else in our house into golf (wiffle bats, her rain stick, etc.) I guess I need to bring it in for the winter. Little Tykes did not let us down!

Highly recommended
What a great toy for toddlers! Hitting a ball off the ground is much easier than doing so off a tee (as in baseball), so this toy really builds their confidence! Fun for parents to play along too. The cart can be used to for other things besides golf. My son received this for his 2nd birthday, and has given it much use in the last year.

The Best Golf Set We've come across!
This is my son's 4th (yes 4th) ste of golf clubs. He's tough on his toys, like any toddler, but the Little tykes set has lasted longer than the other three sets combined. If your son wants a set or you want him to have a set of play club, you can't go wrong with these. The oversized balls are big help too, not to mention, I can now put my practice balls away. ...

A real hit!
My three year old sports nut just got this for his birthday. We have not had any problems, and he loves it. I can see his hitting improving already.

Skip this toy
My husband and I purchased this toy for our 5 year for christmas. We have an unfinished basement so we let him play this downstairs. (It's too cold to play outside now.) The toy is fun when it actually works. Many times the balls get stuck. It's very frustrating constantly trying to get them to actually pop out. When they do sometimes they are too low to hit. We haven't yet tried to play t-ball with it. It's fairly light so it's possible it may tip over many times. I find that the pieces are pretty durable. My son does continue to play it but he often stops cause it gets frustrating. He sometimes just plays with the balls and bat so it wasn't a total loss.

I believe it will help any T-ball or Little League player to improve upon His/Her hitting! ... Read more

Endless fun !!!
One word really describes this toy, "WOW"!!! I think I have a future pro bowler on my hands. I had a general idea that my four year old would like it but he loves it!

The great thing about this set is that it's not just a bowling set, the bowling pins can also be turned into "musical toys", counting devices, or you could set them up as "cones" and have your child weave in and out of them with their bike or skip around them to improve their motor skills.

I wish I would have bought this sooner but being a stay at home mom we have to pick and choose our toys. This was a great value and many thanks to Amazon for having speedy shipping! It came a day earlier than expected which was a delightful surprise. We will order more things from this site. They keep you updated on your order and so far I've had the best online shopping experience with them verses other online shopping sites.

If you are trying to decide between this toy and another, I'd pick this one hands down. I hope this has helped any future buyers.

Great Fun
My son received this bowling set for Christmas (just turned 1). He enjoys it.

It's a bowling set and the Little Tikes brand - so you would expect it to be durable - and it is!

What I have found with other less-expensive bowling sets I've seen is that the plastic is too lightweight that they barely stand up on their own before you have a chance to actually knock them down with the bowling ball.

The skittles in this set doesn't have that problem. They are sturdy enough to stand properly until they are knocked over by the ball or a children's hand. The added fun is the noise they make when they fall down - each skittle has 3 small balls inside producing a great clanking sound.

The added fun of this is that my son picks two skittles up and bangs them together or just shakes them and makes music.

The bowling ball is lightweight for children but heavy enough that it's going to go where you roll it and not be pushed around by any breeze (if you are outside). There are small finger indents so you can teach your child how to "bowl" when they are ready to do so.

A great inexpensive set for your little one.

Great Fun
My son is only 1 year old and he already loves these. I set them up and he knocks them down. He doesn't always use the ball to knock them down, but he does knock them down! We received them for a gift and I put them up because I didn't think he was ready for them yet. My husband opened them when I wasn't home and now they are the first things that my son pulls out of his toy box every morning. I highly recommend them.

We love Little Tikes
And we love this toy great for indoors or out . All my children love to play and take turns seeing who gets the most . Great for cold or rainy days . ... Read more

Pretty set to look at, hard to use.
My son is 19 months old. He had a "cheap" set of clubs that he could swing well and he connected with the ball every time, like a little pro. But this "cheap" set fell apart so we thought we would get a better, more expensive set because he plays golf practically all day. We got this set and have quickly discovered that he has a difficult time using the set. The clubs are too heavy and the rubber on the ends of them skid against the floor making it difficult for him to swing properly to connect with the ball. Not the best set. Pretty, but not functional. Now we are going to have to spend more money to buy a new set so he can continue to improve his game.

20 month old son Loves it
Simply put - my son loves this toy even at 20 months old. My golf nut husband thinks this is great. He can actually swing the club and occassionally hit the ball. I am sure he'll be at the driving range this summer! Watch out Tiger! ... Read more

Editorial Review

It doesn't quite meet official NBA specifications, but thislightweight basketball set is equipped with built-in wheels that makeit easy to move for adults. A wonderful first basketball hoop for yourlittle all-star, it sets up easily on any flat indoor or outdoorsurface and you can fold it down over its wide base for compactstorage. Made of durable plastic, the set features a large backboardand a realistic nylon net that attaches to a wide, "breakaway" rim. Theadjustable rim can be set between 5 and 7 feet high as children grow,and players can keep track of the score during games with the slidingplastic counters built into the stand. To maintain stability duringuse, the base of the Easy Store Basketball Set should be weighted downwith sand (not included). Inflatable rubber basketballincluded. --Chris Burns ... Read more

excellent hoop set for older little ones
We received this item as a gift. It took about 20 minutes to assemble, with no tools required. (I did use a shoe to pound the wheel axle in though :-) There were a lot of stickers included, so I had the kids decorate the apparatus as I assembled it, and everyone was happy.

There are five height adjustments but even the lowest is 5 feet, so this set is a little too tall for the recommended three-year old; however, it does fold up nicely to reduce its impact on your space, it does move around easily using the wheels, and you can fill the bottom with sand or water to stabilize it. With the exception of the axle for the wheels, all parts are plastic and colorful. This is a very nice basketball hoop (though as I said, a bit tall for the lower recommended age), and one small basketball is included. Easy to put together, easy to enjoy and easy to store.

19 year old boy who loves basketball
dear basketball hoop-
I love this hoop with all of its amazing features. stickers with all shapes and sizes make this the best present i have ever gotten. the wheel, awww, the wheels make this amazing. it is just so easy to transport to all my friends houses. the hoop raises. one yime time i made a hundred dunks in a row, and my mom gave me 2 dollars because she so happy. this is the best hoop in the world. the ball is orange just like my favorite player chris dudley. he make my eyes light up. it feel like i'm him when i'm playing down in the basement. over all this toy proved to be very efficient in my basketball education.

this is a great toy
i bought this toy for my little 3 year old brothers birthday, he loves it. he likes how i can play him one on one and not have to keep score in our head or on paper. this is great and he learned a lot about basketball.

The Hoop of Many Featrures
I found that this product was very well built and manufactured. It was everythign i wanted it to be. The adjustable rim for different kind of play, the score keeper, and the wheels. The stickers were cool too. Since I have gotten it there hasn't been one day I haven't had fun with it. The only problem that I had encountered it that the "break-away" rim folded a couple times besides that it has been great for me and all who plays it.

Great Set
This is a great hoop when your child grows out of the smaller, 4 feet high net, and is still not ready for a true NBA height net. It is very durable, and portable! ... Read more

Great Toy!!
My 11 month old son loves this toy!! He got it for Easter when he was 9 months old from his grandparents. I thought at the time he would be too young for it but he would like it when he got a little older. Well I was wrong, he has loved it from day one! It is the one toy in our house he never gets bored of. He loves to play with the little balls. He rolls them and chases them all through the house. He also loves the golf club. He always gets it out and drags it with him everywhere. It is really I great toy with many uses. I highly recommend it!

Definitely not the greatest
We received this as a gift for my son's 1st birthday. At first I thought it would be cool since it has multiple sports, but unfortunately we've found it to be pretty worthless. The only thing my son had fun with for a while was putting balls - and other things - in the basketball hoop. If we ever can't find something, we can usually look in there and it's wedged in halfway down. The design of the spinning balls isn't done very well since by the time a child is old enough to have the dexterity to do it, s/he is probably too tall for the baseball and the golf ball one isn't close enough to the ground. Basically, all the bat and golf club seem to be good for are hitting things that aren't supposed to be hit. We've had this for 5 months now and I wish we had returned it and got something else.

Confussing toy
At first my 11 month old liked it. He was curious and wanted to see how it worked. However after the first few minuted he was very bored of it. I believe it is to old for younger toddlers. Seeing how my 11 month old did not like it, I thought my 2 year old would. Wrong! All he did was get in trouble for hitting things in the house with the bat. The place that you are suppossed to hit the ball does not work well. As well as the golfing part of it. You hit the ball and it barely moves (and my 2 year old has a pretty good arm). We had the toy out for 2 days and it got put away!

My daughter loves this toy!
My 12 month old daughter received this as an early Christmas gift and loves it! She plays with it almost every day. I have the bat put up for now- I don't think she's ready for that part yet, but I think this toy will grow nicely with her. She loves to make baskets and spin the golf ball and baseball around the base. I think it's kept her interest well compared to a lot of toys. I would definitely recommend it!

My son loves this toy
My son got this toy as an early Christmas gift when he was 10 months old, it has had it for 2 months now. He has loved it from day one. To my husband's delight my son loves the golf club. He carries it all over the house. He has figured out how to hit the loose balls with the club or bat. He doesn't hit the balls on the stand with the club or bat but he does spin them with his hands. He likes to put the balls in the basket and have them twirl down. I really think this is a great toy for hand eye coordination. Also, one of my favorite things about this toy is that it doesn't have any lights or music. I hate how all toys have to make noise. It is definately one of our favorite toys. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Besides being a beginning baseball player, there are so manyother reasons why one might want to own this durable set: a small yard,a lack of a pitcher, a rainy day, all come to mind. It features aneasily assembled swiveling tee, which stands atop a rubber home plateand can adjust for height. An extra base and pitching rubber are alsoincluded (we're not sure why in a T-ball practice unit, but at leastkids will be ready when they start playing for real) as is a battingglove. The bat is real wood and, though smaller than regulation, reallypacks a punch. In our unscientific test, the rubber baseball reallysailed and, thanks to an elastic cord, came bouncing back. So what doesit all have to do with Barry Bonds? Not much. But get a youngsterstarted on this early and maybe they'll end up being a two-time MVP.--John Moe ... Read more

Kids who dream of being a hero on the court will love this adjustable basketball hoop fromLittle Tikes. Even the littlest of toddlers can slam-dunk their way to greatness with the extra-wide rim,close-set backboard, and a soft, small-size ball. The Easy Score Basketball can be set at six differentheights--ranging from 2.5 to 4 feet--so it grows with your child (and their skills). Made from brightlycolored and superdurable plastic, this is one toy that will stand the test of time. Sand or water isrecommended to weight the base (not included). --Melissa Wilson ... Read more

Again?
Here we go again..the electronic "sound" device is mute. Everytime I try and get a basketball hoop with a device that actually works, all I get is a soundless piece of junk. The toy is all right, but when you expect to get something that works and it is returned several times and one gets the same problem over and over..one is wondering if it's the manufacuturer or the toy store??

SON'S FAVORITE TODDLER TOY
My son, now 4 1/2 recieved this toy on his 1st birthday and it immediately became his favorite toy. This STURDY DURABLE toy got a DAILY workout from my son for about two and a half years. At which time we retired it for no other reason than he had graduated to a taller hoop (this one goes to 4 foot). I should also mention that our son preferred a full size ball (yes, it fits!)to the one that is included. I mention that only to support the DUABILITY rating. DURABLE it is!!!!! After four children Little Tikes has never failed us, when we have had a problem they have ALWAYS helped us rectify it. GUYS, if you can't put something together CORRECTLY, ask for help!!!!

It's a hit!
We have two kids, ages 3 and 1. They both love this toy! The only "problem" we have had is them fighting over who gets the ball ... so pick up an extra ball if you have more than one kid playing with this. As for the toy itself, it is very durable construction, has withstood being toppled over more than once, and the hoop does not fall out because we have pushed it firmly into place (you will hear a snap when it locks). The children hang on the hoop and it is just fine. I love the adjustable height of the stand, and the net has held up despite many things besides just a ball being forced through it. Now I just need to fill the base with sand and we will be in great shape! This is one of the best toys we have purchased for the kids, it keeps them active while having fun.

Worst Hoop
this is the worst hoop ever. No not spend your money on this piece of junk. the rim keeps on falling down even when it is in place. Plus the pieces are very easy to break.

About the Rim
I have three young children. They loved playing with this toy and did so nearly every day. We too had trouble getting the rim to snap into place when we first assembled the set. Although the rim was securely in place, I always felt it was not perfectly level as the front seemed to dip down about an inch--just enough to bother the eye. Well, one day my 3 year old, in his excitement to get the ball, went behind the hoop and knocked it over. As a result the rim cracked and broke. Needless to say my sons were very sad that Daddy couldn't fix it--even with super glue. I've held on to the base figuring I may be able to buy a replacement part or find the part I need at a yard sale or something. No luck yet though. ... Read more

Fun if you get newer version
This is great fun, but you have to get the newer version to enjoy it. Our 8 yr old son got this for Christmas and we put it together (15 steps, bunch of tubes to assemble, takes a half hour or so). The plastic sensor matt ripped within an hour or so. The real problem was that you had to throw really hard to get it to sense a pitch and that was bound to cause a tear soon enough. Bummer. We were outside on a cold day, which tends to make plastic more brittle, so it might be best to keep the matt warm to make it last longer.

The good news is that we exhanged the torn one at Toys R Us and lucked into a newer version which is much improved. There is a canvas matt behind the sensor matt, with the sensor matt attaching with velcro. This newer design is more sensitive and thus kids can throw with full force and enjoy the game and not rip the heck out of it. And it seems to be pretty safe for indoor play, which is a plus for rainy days.

Incredible Waste
This is an incredible waste of money. (...). My six year old son, an extreme baseball fanatic, was so thrilled to get this we couldn't wait to try it out. It took too much time to assemble, flimsy pieces, didn't register right and needless to say, was broken within the hour after opening it. My son was let down and I too was disappointed to see him sad and my wallet lighter. Don't waste your hard earned money!

Yes, it was educational
I came online to read the reviews in order to determine whether I should return this misfit, or replace it, because ours also broke within minutes and does not register as it should. My 3 and 7 year old kids were standing one foot away and hitting the mat with the enclosed balls, and nothing was happening. My husband experimented to see just how hard he had to hit it to get it to register, and it ripped. I rated the educational value of it very high because it served as a great example of why you must be very discriminating when purchasing products. As my daughter pointed out, "Why would somone make something for kids that would be so DISAPPOINTING!!!" Shame on you Arcade Alley, and shame on you Amazon/Toys 'r Us for continuing to offer it.

All Arcade Alley/ Moose Mountain toys:
Please do yourself a favor and don't buy any Arcade Alley or Moose Mountain toys! If you look at the reviews for their other games as well as this one (including Arcade Alley Hoop to Hoop which I bought) you will notice one thing in common: all of their products are either immediately defective or break within several hours of putting them together. I can't believe that Amazon is still selling these products! Save youself money and headaches...don't buy their products!!!!

A fun game that needs to be built better
My nine year old son got this for Christmas and was very excited. It took a while for his Dad to set it up but no big deal. The big disappointment was, the backstop ripped after only a few throws by our nine year old son. The game is very fun and they continue to play it, but since it has already ripped, I don't see it holding up very long. Plus, the sounds don't work everytime, even when my husband hits it with a ball. This is a very good and fun idea but they need to come up with a better way to build it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

When the kids aren't yet big enough for a real basketball hoop in the driveway--or you just wantportability--this plastic hoop set is the ideal solution. The gray plastic base, which can be weighted withsand or water, supports a black-and-purple pole, a gray backboard, and a red hoop made of white nylonmesh. The pole adjusts easily, in 1-foot increments, from 4 to 6 feet. Wheels on the bottom of the basemake it easy to tip and move around. The set features durable, all-plastic construction, and assembly is asnap. Just think: by about 2015, you may be screaming for your favorite team with greater animation thanever. --Richard Farr ...
