Please recommend your toddlers basketball hoop.

I was thinking about getting Rylan a basketball hoop for xmas. I want one that he can reach now but will also grow with him and last for a good amount of time.

Does anyone have this one...

we have this one for DS, at 2 hes still too short for it, but next year, hell grow right into it, I think.

Re: Please recommend your toddlers basketball hoop.

We have the exact one that you posted in your pic and I have to say that I DO NOT recommend it. My brother got it for ds for xmas last year... The plastic on the stem part has already bent out of shape and it leans forward in an awkward way - the only way to straighten it would be to tether it to something behind it. We currently have it at the lowest setting which makes it the most stable - as you raise it up it gets pretty wobbly (our base is weighted with sand/water).

I don't know of any other good options... I actually specifically asked for this one for ds and got it but it is poorly made :( If you can get a really good deal on it then I would say it is okay but it is not worth a lot and will not last a long time...

We have it for abouta month now and I will say its ok - what I like about it is that it adjusts higher than the other one we returned (fisher price one) which is good b/c DS just turned 2 and the first two or three settings were way too low for him. The only annoying thing is he can easily rip down the net which he sometimes does when he leans the ball on the basket to get it in. All in, it serves its purpose but, it's not the sturdiest thing going and I can't see it lasting all that long.

I have this one and my DS LOVES IT!!! Since the height is adjustable, it works perfectly for him!
