5 Stars Great little Pop – Up goal
This is a great pop-up goal. It has two small shock cord poles that are stored in a pocket in the carrying bag, and they are great to stabilize the goal when it is being used. The goal “pops up” and then the poles are inserted in a pocket on each side of the base. Easy to fold flat when the small poles are removed. I bought two and the children love them!

5 Stars Great Item
Purchased for 6-year-old….great product for the money. She loves it. Took a few ‘trial and errors’ to figure out how to collapse it for storage, but now it folds up perfectly and tucks into its case. Very happy with this item.

5 Stars Great Product High Price Here
This product is great. The goal is set up in about 45 seconds and takes down almost as quickly. Comes with a storage bag. A bit pricey here, Wal-mart carries this item for 19.99. shop around.

4 Stars Fun for indoor or outdoor play
Both my boys, age 5&6, enjoy this goal. Indoors with a nerf or other soft ball, or nerf-type ball or dart gun, as well as outdoors with a soccer ball.

3 Stars Pops up easily…..but……
Santa brought this gift to our 4 year old for Christmas. It comes in a storage bag with strap. It pops up easily and there’s not to much difficulty in putting the poles in for support. It also comes with stakes to keep the net in one place, however, I cannot figure out how to “twist” the net back into a circle to place it back into the storage bag. There were no instructions with the net.

I have contacted Franklin Sports to see if they can help me with this problem. To date, I have not heard back from them but if I do, I will be sure to let you know what happened.

So my suggestion is that unless you have a place to keep the net when not in use, since it can’t be closed and leaving it outdoors will surely ruin it, buy something else.

5 Stars Fits nicely in my living room
Love it. Fits in my livingroom but still keeps my 18 mth old busy.

4 Stars Great climbing toy
I purchased this toy for my grandson (age 19 mos.) He spends quite a bit of time playing on and around this toy, also using the balls that came with it. Very definitely worth the price.

4 Stars Great Outdoors or Indoors
This poduct was used for my own children as well as daycare children. It is easy to put together and the children love it!!

4 Stars best indoor active play toy
I got this slide for my daughter when she was 16 months old. We needed a toy for her to climb — so instead of saying, “Don’t climb this!” we could say, “Go climb that!” We were also facing a winter in the Northeast when playground play might not always been possible.

This toy is great for physically active children. My daughter uses it every day (a claim I can make for only a few toys). She particularly loves slide (of course) and the basketball hoop.

I don’t love that the basketball is not to scale with the soccer ball and the football, and I don’t love that there is a hole on top, ostensibly for throwing the football through, but it is irresistible to toddlers as something to throw themselves through! Not withstanding such a head bonk, we are very pleased with this toy.

I am optimistic that she will be able to use this for several years to come (my guess is that it would work for an average-sized 4 year old) and that it will lend itself to pretend play as well. There is a hole to climb through so that the child is under the slide. It is supposed to be used as a soccer goal, but I think it would make a nice entrance to a fort.

I will also note that assembly required brute force and liquid dish detergent as lubrication.

4 Stars Endless enjoyment
Even though this toy is slated for 18 month and older, we bought this for my daughter when she turned a year thinking she would enjoy us putting her on the slide. Plus, she would grown into it. My daughter’s response to the climber was not what we imagined. She was immediately challenged by it and within two weeks of our setting it up our 13 month old was capable of going up the climbing wall and down the slide independently. She LOVES it!!!!!! She also enjoys playing with the balls and has most recently has begun putting the basketball into the hoop. The climbers size allows you to easily move it from place to place. We have had it both in and out of doors. For the money, I am pleased. My only complaint was that it was not the easiest to assemble.
