Spalding Junior Portable Basketball System

Excellent product for children of all ages. Very sturdy base, no sand needed. Easy to assemble, it only took a few minutes. The goal will adjust to whatever height needed. My daughter is almost four and she loves it. I would recommend this product to others.

I thought it would be bigger, but I like the size that it is. It's perfect for my two year old. It will extend to make it taller as he grows. I haven't taken the time to figure out how to attach the top to the pole. It didn't have instructions for that. I was in a hurry and I'm sure I can figure it out once I get the time to go out there and put it together.

My two year old son loved the hoop. On his birthday he played for 45 minutes before he put the ball down. It is very durable as well. We havn't even put anything in the bottom to weigh it down. very good product.

Forget the plastic non-adjustable toy hoops. This is the one to get. It looks and feels like the real thing. It's lowest height is perfect for my 2 and 1/2 year old, and grows on from there. It actually extends in a few inch increments and gets pretty high for a kid. The 5-inch ball that comes with it is great for tossing but not for bouncing as it's bounce is not predictable, so for more advanced kids you'll want a Jr. basketball, which will fit through the hoop but will be a little tight. It can still be done though.

Conclusion: If you are thinking about getting a "real standard size" adjustable hoop, then get that over this one beacause of the hoop diameter limitation. But, if you are shopping for a very young child one, this one is the best one, price and all considered.

my daughter purchased this hoop for my 2 yr old grandson, and i must say it is very sturdy, did not need to put sand or water in base, easy to put together and the hoop stays on unlike some of the other models, (which she promptly returned) over all we are very please with this item. the ball is a little small but that's okay he is only 2, besides we are getting him the spalding jr. basketball. I would definitely recommend this basketball system to anyone.
