Little Tikes EasyScore Basketball Set Blue, 22" L x 23.75" W x 60" H

I bought this in hopes of my daughter becoming more sports minded. It set up fairly easily, though I wish they had pre-strung the hoop. However, it was not a problem and the hoop was ready for use less than 5 minutes after the box was opened. I love that it is adjustable. My daughter just turned three and we haven't had to adjust it yet, but I feel much more satisfied with my purchase knowing she won't outgrow it anytime soon.As far as holding my daughter's interest, it hasn't really piqued her interest much. She is more of a dolls and dress-up type of girl, but I think it is important to expose her to all kinds of toys so I do not regret my purchase. She will play it more with my husband and they enjoy dunking and seeing who can make more baskets so it has been successful at exposing her to basketball. Plus it is a major hit with all of her little friends who are boys--it's the first thing they gravitate towards. She has had friends from 1-6 over and they all love it.I haven't felt the need to fill the bottom with sand and it has not yet tipped over. Perhaps if we had older children or rowdy friends over, it may tip. But so far it has held up perfectly! We have owned it about six months and it still looks brand new. We do, however, use it inside only. We live in AZ so the heat and monsoons can be brutal on toys.Lastly, the basketball is well constructed for little hands. It has worked out well. The only way I would suggest improving this toy is to place a ball holding ring (or container of some sort) so the ball can be stored on the unit. As it is now, I have to nestle it on the floor behind the hoop but it often rolls away. It can get lost in my daughter's toyland so I wish there were a way to keep the ball contained on the unit itself.Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase!!

We’ve been using this for almost a month and a half and it’s by far the best $23 I’ve spent in the last few years. My 10 year old is a basketball player, so my 1 ½ year old is always watching and trying to imitate her. This is perfect! Here's what makes it amazing:• Quality: It’s built very well. Even with my 10 year old pretending to dunk and my 1 ½ year old pulling on it, it’s holding up well. We have other kids over and they play rough with it as well.• Adjustment: This was important to me. I love how this hoop will be useful for a few years. Right now he gets the biggest thrill out of making a basket without any assistance. He throws balls in the hoop, sippy cups, other toys and pretty much anything that will fit. He plays with this every day. It will adjust to fit him when he’s much older also, I would guess about 4 or 5.• Base: So the base is intended to be filled with sand (one of my friends put water in hers). Since I want to be able to carry it outside so he can play on his hoop while she plays on hers, I opted to not put anything in the base. Initially it tipped over a bit because he was pulling on the hoop. After a couple days he stopped doing that and it rarely tips now.• Hoop and net: The net is the only annoying thing about this. The strings pull off of their hooks quite frequently. I stopped obsessively putting them back on because that got a little annoying. But, it seems the piece that holds the string in place could’ve been designed a little better. No big deal, not worth marking this down a star. My son pulled on the hoop initially when we got it. It didn't bend or break at all.• Ball: The ball is the perfect size for my sons little hands. It’s soft, so if he drops it on his foot, hits someone else or falls on it there will be no injury. We have a variety of other balls we also use from our basketball arcade style game.This has been an AMAZING toy for us. I couldn’t believe when I came on Amazon and realized how inexpensive it is for how awesome it is. All the first birthday parties I go to I will be buying this for. Even us adults have fun setting it far away and trying to make long shots. I would gladly give up 5 of his other toys just to have this.Update March 2017: This is literally the best toy I have ever bought! Both of my kids still play with it nearly daily. Whenever we have other kids come over they always gravitate towards this. Just last night our family friends came over and 6 kids were playing with this. My 13 year old carried it around and they did trick shots (like having the hoop downstairs and throwing the ball from the landing into the hoop and dunking competitions). I never filled the base with anything, which I'm happy about. In my experience sometimes that gets messy and then it would be harder to carry around. This thing moves from our great room, to bedrooms, outside and to the rec room. I can't even convey how happy I am that we bought this when we did!

Six months ago, I purchased this for my one year old son and he has had so much fun with this! We have it set up in our living room and it's big enough to be functional but small enough to be able to move around easily.PROS:- Multiple heights. This basketball set is adjustable so our toddler and our seven year old can use it with ease.- Sturdy construction. The base can be made sturdier by filling with rice, cat litter, sand, etc.- Easy to assemble- Made in USA!CONS:- After changing the height numerous times, it seems like it doesn't stay on the highest setting for long periods of time. It's like the plastic is a little worn down. I want to stress that it still works, but that pressure (like kids trying to "dunk") on the highest setting can sometimes make it slip back down. It would be nice if Little Tykes could change this assembly to be made of stronger plastic or even metal to keep it locked in. Right now it's a long plastic piece with a lip to keep it at the desired height.Overall, this is a fantastic product. With two young boys (and their friends) this basketball set has held up much better than I expected. I would not hesitate to purchase this again or recommend it to friends and family.
