5 Stars this is a great swing
We had one of these last summer and have now purchased another for our second little girl. Both girls love them and seem to be totally safe. Our two year old has learned how to unbuckle the waist and crotch straps but she’s definitely not going to slide out from under the tray and fall out so I’m unconcerned about this issue. The tray snaps in very securely and there is a raised portion of plastic between the legs for added stability. Even last year our 6 month old, 15 pound baby could not be taken out of the swing without the tray unattached. Both our girls have little pot-bellies and there is still plenty of room for them between the swing and tray. It is perfect for lounging outside with a few snacks on their tray to keep them happy if we’re not swinging them. The reclined position is the most natural and we keep both swings set this way. If you adjust the seat to the vertical position (very easy to do), the tray is not quite level with the babies body, but this isn’t a big deal to me as we don’t use this position anyway. The first swing we bought did not have the ropes evenly fed through either side, but with a screwdriver and about 5 minutes of my time, I removed the back portion of the swing (where you adjust for the different positioning), and I was able to pull the rope through and level the swing myself. I have read other reviews on this swing, and used other baby swings in the past, and can’t see how this model would flip backwards any more easily than any other style of swing. There are no recalls, so I’m wondering if people are swinging their children too high?! I love that this swing doesn’t have a huge t-shaped piece of plastic wedged between my babies legs and that it is so versatile.

5 Stars Love it!
My Baby Girl Loves This Swing!! She has just recently outgrown her baby swing and misses it dearly. But now she has another great swing. She totally swings herself to sleep. At 6 months old this is perfect. She is able to play outside and enjoys relaxing in the swing, not once has she cried while she has been in it. I just wish it was nice weather everyday so she could use it more.

4 Stars Good value baby swing
This is a great swing for the price It has a 60 pound limit so our baby/toddler’s older sister cannot go on it. Would be nice to include a couple of bolts to hang it. I realize there are many sizes needed and my patio cover has a huge bar so I ended up using a screw and have put tie wraps as a back up.

As usual came pretty quickly too. Again a good value from Amazon as usual.

5 Stars Great swing for babies who can sit up
I needed a swing for my 6 month old baby that would support her back and lock her in. This one does both; they tray across their legs is a comfort and is useful for giving them toys or snacks. There are no holes for their legs which i like b/c that just seems like it would be uncomfortable, their legs rest on the plastic of the seat in this swing. It was easy to hang from my swingset frame hooks, and does well outside in the weather. Also, as she get bigger i can tilt the swing so she can sit more upright.

4 Stars The swing is sturdy and easily installed
The swing is safe and sturdy – The only difficulty is in balancing – Cannot get it to be even – slightly higher on one side = Overall a good product

4 Stars Christmas Gift
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.

5 Stars Finally a QUALITY BASKETBALL HOOP for KIDS
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.

5 Stars Awesome basketball hoop
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.

5 Stars 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.

5 Stars Great product
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!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Our 3 kids really like it!
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!

3 Stars It’s Alright…
Once the product arrived, obviously, I was excited to set it up. I didn’t realize it required sand to fill the bottom. It’s very unsteady without it. My daughter (who is 26 months) doesn’t pay much attention to it. When she does play with it, it’s usually with any ball she can find (which is ok by me.) It was a good buy, since she’ll play with it for some time to come. I wish I would have known about the sand ahead of time, though, so I could have bought some before it arrived. Pretty good product, overall.

2 Stars fun but not durable
my 3-year-old son loves this. But the board quickly bent forward, I saw one in a daycare the board bent forward over 50 degree, which makes me worry about how long we can play with this set.

same product from Fisher price looks a lot better.

5 Stars Fun!
My son loves this toy! He got it for Christmas so he was almost a yr and a half old. It’s the only toy he has that he plays with every single day. I am planning on taking it outside this summer for him. Love it!

5 Stars Awesome Toy for my 18 month old nephew
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.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great for the baseball enthusiast!

There is some small assembly when you get this toy, but it’s super easy, and takes five minutes. It works fantastic. I even had fun hitting the balls in my house. My son is 3 y.o and likes hitting the ball from the t-stand. The balls so far have not gotten stuck. I do wish it came with more balls, b/c you spend so much time chasing them. Overall, does what it promises, no problems, and I would recommend this toy.

4 Stars just as described!!!
This is a great product. My 4 year old son and his 2 year old sister have already played with the batter a lot!!! It definitely helps with skill set for my 4 year old and I think it will do so for some time to come. The only suggestion I would have is 3 balls are not enough….contact Fisher Price for more!!!

2 Stars Doesn’t hold up to 3 year old play….
My three old grandson played with this using the middle level of pitching balls for about 10 minutes when the batteries had to be replaced! I was very disappointed in it’s quality.

4 Stars cscarter
This toy is great fun for my 2 year old grandson and 6 year old granddaughter. My order was shipped promptly and received in less than a week. Thanks!!!

4 Stars a great way to learn to hit a baseball
I bought this toy for my grandson’s 4th birthday. He loves baseball and really enjoys this toy. He likes to have the ball pop up rather than use the toy as a tee, but he does sometimes use the tee. After he hits the ball, he runs around the yard, then picks up the ball and starts over again. I think this is a wonderful toy to help train a child to hit a ball. It saves the parent from having to stand their and keep throwing the ball to the child. I definitely recommend this toy for any child (boy or girl) who loves to play baseball!

4 Stars Wholesome Fun
My son loved this toy. It is durable and easy to use. Lots of fun at a low cost.

4 Stars Our son LOVES this toy!
Our son is only 20 mos. old and he’s totally figured this one out. He loves anything with balls and the outdoors. He figured out how the ball drop feature works and can actually hit the ball with the club. The clubs are a little big for him, but he doesn’t care. I love that there is storage for everything.

4 Stars Great toy to introduce the game of golf!
This is a great little golf set. Love the way the balls drop right onto the tee. My daughter is not yet 2 and gets excited to play with it! My only complaint is the club handles tend to slip out the back of the ‘bag’. Otherwise super cute and fun! Comes in pink also.

5 Stars Great golf set
This toy is so much fun for my 18 month old son. He loves it. It offers great motor skill challenges. Thanks

5 Stars fun toy, not so educational
This toy is really great for kids to play around with. It’s safe and works at this age group. If you are looking for a kid to learn something, not so much, but really helps with hand eye coordination.
