Toys and Games Reviews of Little Tikes Adjust 'N Jam Basketball Set
Customer Review: Not durable at all
Summary: 2 Stars
The breakaway rim and the adjustable post for this product are made of flimsy plastic. My 1 and 3 year olds had fun with it for a few weeks, but one afternoon of 4-year-old-cousin dunks, and the plastic was mashed up to the point where the rim and the post would not stay up. Duct tape and screws kept it out of the trash for another few weeks, but no more. (All the relevant parts are hollow, molded plastic, so there's not even the satisfaction of a broken piece that you could try to glue, tape, screw, splint or otherwise mend -- the plastic just loses its shape and won't hold in place.)
I won't give it a 1 -- I admit we used it rough -- but if you can't dunk on a kiddie hoop I don't think it deserves more than a 2. If you are prepared to keep heavier balls* and bigger kids away from this, you'd probably get a longer life out of it, but I don't think it's reasonable to have to use kid gloves on what is meant to be an active toy. (*By heavier balls I mean you probably shouldn't use other toddler-sized basketballs and playground balls -- the balls included are like those ultra-light balls that you buy in the grocery store for $0.99.)
