 My Son Loves This! |
| Review Date: August 3, 2010 |
| Reviewer: IMC, San Diego, CA |
| Recently returned a Step 2 brand hoop due to shoddy construction and bought this one after some on-line research. A great improvement over the Step 2! Looks better, is more stable, goes from 3 to 6 feet, plus it has a very cool ball return scoop so there's less scrambling to retrieve a shot ball. My 2 1/2 year old son loves it and I full expect to get a lot of mileage out of it in the next 4 or 5 years. |
Years of fun for a 2 year old

| I love this hoop. I'm not sure who was more excited for it, me or my two year old son. He loves it and does slam dunks on it all the time. He is only 2 now and I can see him using the basketball hoop for another 5 years. Great buy. I was not dissapointed. |
Fun for 19 month old or 19 year old!

| My 19 month old son loves this hoop. He can't really shoot the ball yet but he can "dunk" it pretty well. He enjoys throwing the ball at the hoop and also yells "good shot" after each attempt. Not only does he enjoy it but the adults that come to our home always are drawn to it. First they comment on how cool it looks and what a neat toy it is, next thing I know i have three-on-three basketball on a 3 foot hoop in my family room! Crazy good fun for kids and adults alike. This hoop is height adjustable which is why I bought it so as my son grows I can raise the basket to accomodate his skill level. I have a full size hoop in the driveway and now when we pull into the house my son points and always asks to "play basketball." I was skeptical of quality since it was only forty nine bucks but the hoop is very durable and should last many years, even when we move it outside. I bought a spare basketball (it comes with one ball) so two kids or adults can shoot around at the same time. The hoop does appear to "lean" forward a bit since my son "dunks" the ball and pulls on the rim but thats usually an indication that it is ready to be raised to the next height setting. Overall a great purchase for the price. |

| I purchased this for my 3 year old grandson's birthday. He along with his older brothers are having a fun time with it. It is much sturdier than the smaller ones that the older boys had. I like the fact that it is adjustable so it will grow with him and be usable for a few years. |
Works well

| I got this as an extra thing for the kids to do when indoors as well as to introduce them to basketball. My kids are 2 and 5. Putting this together wasn't hard and both of the kids enjoy playing with it once in a while. You really ought to put something in the base to increase stability (I used sand), since it's relatively easy to tip over. Seems sturdily built and ought to last as long as it stays upright. |
Good quality for the money

The Grow-To-Pro Basketball hoop was fairly easy to assemble, although putting the backboard on is a bit tricky.
I was supprised at the quality and sturdiness of the item, given that the Fisher-Price version for small children was so flimsey.
The built-in ball return is great for directing the ball back to the child. I read reviews of the backboard being knocked loose by the ball, but this has not happened. When the base is filled with water, it can hardly be lifted, let alone knocked over, so don't expect to move it around too much.
My three year old grandson loves this hoop. It was well worth the money! |

| Easy to assemble and very fun. I haven't had any issues with the net falling off as some other brands may have. The ball has nice feel and bounce and is a good size for small children. I have this inside the house for now and it's easy to move around. I don't have the base filled and have not had any issues with it tipping over while playing. |

I just bought this hoop for my 3 year old son. He seems to really enjoy so far. I was pleasantly surprised with a few features and items. Product is well built, fits together well and sturdy. The instructions are straight forward and easy to assemble.
The hoop came with a basketball which I did not realize and it also came with a ball return scoop that connects to the hoop. |
Great product!

| Our son is two and a half, just over two when we purchased this. He uses it all the time, it seems very durable, works great, and has good balance even without filling with sand. We keep this inside right now and he shoots hoops every night. If he reaches up and grabs the net, he can pull it down on himself, as we have no sand in it right now, but it's light enough, that it shouldn't hurt him much even if he does. With a little coaching, he doesn't even pull down on it any more, and we've never had a problem. If you're worried about this at all, just fill it with some sand and this won't be an issue. We are very pleased with the looks, practicality, and durability of this product. From all of the basketball hoops we looked at, I truly believe this was the best for our needs, and we still have a lot of growing we can do with the adjustable backboard. |

| Glad I spent a little more to buy this over similar hoops. We have it set to 3 foot right now and my son can just barely dunk it. He got so many toys for Christmas that I have used it more than him so far. My brother said he was going to look into this one because he bought a cheaper one a few years back. |
Fun for all ages!

| My two year old son loves his basketball hoop. Even the adults that come over like to play with it at his level. I said the education value is a 3 out of 5 because I don't really know what it is teaching him other than some coordination! Other than that, we love it and will keep using it as he grows. |
Great hoop for children among the many options

| Reviewer: A. Beckstedt, Indiana |
| This is a great hoop that is very easy to assemble. When put to the 3 foot option the hoop leans forward which I wish it didnt but once it goes to the 4 foot or higher it will work great. Wheels added to it would have been greatly appreciated but I wasnt expecting much from the price point. |
Great product

| Reviewer: Mommy of 2 great kids, |
| I had been looking for a small basketball hoop for my son's 4th birthday. After looking at reviews for different ones, this one had the best. I didn't want a wimpy hoop, but also knew my son wasn't ready for a big basketball hoop. This one works great for him and my daughter (almost 6) loves it, too. It is adjustable and very sturdy once you get the sand in it. It comes with a small basketball but can also be used with a regular sized basketball. I can see my kids using this for many years until they're ready for a regular size basketball hoop. And the price can't be beat! |

| This is a super sturdy children's basketball hoop. We had tried several of the Little Tyke similar style hoops and had terrible experiences. The net on the Fisher Price brand stays on the whole time. The rim is sturdy and doesn't bend down. It's very solid and easily adjusts to different heights which our boys love. It's also versatile with the adjustability of the height. We love this hoop and highly recommend it. |
Great Hoop!

I bought one of the Grow to Pro hoops a couple of weeks ago for indoors, and liked it so much (well, my 4-year old son did also), that I bought another one for outdoors. It is built well, relatively easy to put together, and is a much better quality hoop than many of the other models out there. I filled the base on the outdoor hoop with water, and it seems that it will hold up ok outdoors.
You can easily put on and take off the ball return, so you can see if you like it. It sticks out a bit, so we took it off indoors where space is tighter. We left the ball return on for the outdoor hoop. The hoop is big, so it can accomodate the included ball, or other mini balls (or I suppose bigger basketballs as well--just haven't tried one with it).
Basically, I had bought one of the real basketball hoops for our driveway, but soon realized that even at its lowest point (7 feet), it is just too high for little kids. Hence, why I bought this one for outdoors. Now, my son and his friends can play as much as they want on the Fisher Price.
Although this deserves a 5 rating, it would be even better if you could adjust by 1/2 foot, instead of only by a whole foot. My son is a bit too tall for the 4-foot height, but a bit too short for the 5-foot height. But it is not a dealbreaker.
Buy this one with confidence. The better Little Tikes model may be worth a look as well, but I am happy with the Fisher Price Grow to Pro. Though the price on the Fisher Price seems to have just shot up quite a bit--hopefully just temporary for those of you in the market for one of these. |

| I purchased this gift for my grandson (almost 2). He is very active and doesn't like to sit still for very long at all. I felt this would be a good toy for him to use inside and outside, as well as grow as he grows. He really loved it. His dad thought it was great. |

| Reviewer: Eric Slay, Orange County, CA |
I've tried the other basketball hoops and ended up returning them both because they were cheep, rickety, etc.
This one is quite the opposite. It's big, solid, well-build and will last a long time. I especially love that it returns the ball to you when you make a shot. My son plays with it for hours on end and the time we get together shooting hoops is priceless.
Get it - you won't regret it. |
Great basketball hoop!

| We bought this toy for Christmas and it has been a hit since we put it together. The directions were a little tricky at the end, it was easier with two people to put it together, but it apprears to be very durable and will grow with our 3 yr. old. He plays basketball almost every day. We put it in our garage so when it is "cold", he can play anytime! I would highly recommend this hoop. |

| This basketball hoop is pretty simple to assemble. It took a little effort and took 2-3 people at times to assemble certain parts but it went together simple enough. Our son will 3 in two months and he loves it. At the 4 foot level he can make baskets consistently. He loves trying to put it higher and challenge himself. We haven't used the ball return so I don't know how that works. We haven't put any sand in yet and it still works just fine for our little guy. Overall this is a great toy for a great price. |

| We got this for my 18 month old son. At its lowest setting, my son can just about lay the ball over the rim. It raises to 6 feet high which should keep him interestd for a long time. Qualitywise, it should last for several years. |

| My 25 month old loves this toy and so does the whole family. We love the encouragment and praise our son receives while enjoying the game. It's very sturdy and the ball return is great. We have it in our living room and did not add sand or water to the base and it works great for us and hopefully will be around for years to come (outside) although the colors blend good indoors; its not bright white or primary colors. Very good for the price and years it will serve. |

| We purchased this for our 3 and 2 year-olds for Christmas and they just LOVE it. It is extremely durable, fun to use and quite flexible (since you can adjust height depending on child's age/height). We purchased it based upon the positive reviews and have been very pleased with it. We highly recommend this if you are looking for a basketball net for your children. |

| We got this for our 2 year old for Christmas, and it has to be his favorite gift. Everyone in the house enjoys playing with it, too. We love the hoop itself. The only issue that I had was with how it was delivered from Amazon. It came in it's box, nothing covering the outside of the box, so you could clearly see what it was. I'm just glad that the little one didn't see it before we could tuck it away. |

| son absolutely loves this, and it has held up well. Haven't used the larger height yet but will soon have to keep down the tomahawk jams. So far so good, ball return is a nice touch too, but is usually what my son hits his head on. |
Excellent choice for kids!

| This consumed all of my 3 year old son's attention on Christmas morning. He loves that all of his balls fit through the hoop. It comes with a small basketball but full size ones fit just fine. It is very sturdy and well made. We look forward to using this for years to come. |
