Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher-Price I Can Play Basketball

Customer Review: Great Hoop!
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Beginners start out small and pros grow up tall with the Grow to Pro Basketball set from Fisher Price. This basketball hoop starts out at a lower height for young basketball players, and grows with them as they develop their skills enough to raise the hoop. At heights of 3, 4, 5, and 6 feet, kids' developing basketball skills will have them going pro in no time!

Beginners Start Out Small, Pros Grow to Tall

The Grow to Pro Basketball set starts out at a height of 3 feet for toddlers over the age of two to start working on their basketball skills. Over time, you can adjust the height of the hoop to 4, 5, and 6 feet so the hoop still challenges kids practicing their shooting and their moves. This hoop gives kids the opportunity to work on their moves by themselves as well as with others through team play or shooting games.

Sturdy, Efficient Components Let Kids Practice with Ease

In addition to its adjustable height, the Grow to Pro Basketball set features an easy-attach ball return that means kids no longer have to chase after the shots they make. The set also features a steady base, which can be filled with 50 pounds of water or sand to make sure it doesn't tip over. This allows kids to play their hardest without having to worry about knocking over the set.

Setup is easy with included instructions, and the hoop is great for indoor and outdoor play. The only necessary maintenance is to make sure the inflatable ball maintains a circumference of 21 to 22 inches and that you do not leave the toy outside in the cold if you use water in the base.

Fun, Collaborative Play for All Ages

Our testers found that they had as much fun playing basketball by themselves as they did with their friends, and improved their skills both ways. Adult testers also enjoyed playing basketball with their children, making this set a fun activity for the whole family.
