Our Take

A classic beginner's basketball set from Little Tikes aimed at toddlers and young children aged 18 months and upwards. The adjustable hoop can be set at multiple heights up to 4ft to grow with the child, making it one of the most enduring starter sports toys on the market. Designed to grow along with your child, and encourages the development of motor skills and coordination.

Key Features

Adjustable post with multiple height settings, ranging from approximately 2.5 ft to 4 ft tall

Includes one oversized, lightweight plastic ball sized for small hands

Wide, stable base designed to be filled with sand or water for added stability outdoors

Smooth, rounded edges throughout with no sharp plastic points

Backboard and rim are one moulded piece in bright primary colours

Suitable from 18 months upward per Little Tikes' own guidance

Our Verdict

A solid choice for parents of toddlers and pre-schoolers wanting an affordable, safe introduction to ball sports in the garden. Those with children over five or looking for something more durable and challenging should consider a heavier-duty adjustable set with a regulation-sized hoop.

What We Like

  • Adjustable height genuinely extends the toy's useful life across several years
  • Sturdy when base is properly weighted with sand or water
  • Simple assembly with no tools required
  • Bright colours hold up reasonably well to outdoor weathering

Things to Consider

  • Supplied ball loses air over time and can be tricky to reinflate
  • Base can tip on uneven ground if filled with water rather than sand
  • Hoop sizing is quite generous, limiting the challenge as children grow older
  • Not suitable for rough play from older or larger children
