Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Dunk 'n Cheer Basketball

Our 8 month old loves to pull down on the hoop to hear the crowd cheer. He also likes pulling down the basketball on the side, twirling the little boy on the right and spinning the numbers on the top. Since he is presently a crawler / stander, these are the key features for him.

We love the feature that the hoop can be raised or dropped; it allows our son to play with the features he enjoys without falling over. We love to try to make baskets from across the room which makes him laugh, a little tough on the ego though.

Fisher-Price's Dunk'n Cheer Basketball is a wonderful little toy for your youngster. If your child is crawling or walking successfully, this basketball goal is accessible to both of them. My twelve month old son enjoys dunking the balls in order to see the crowd "jump" and cheer. He also enjoys the sliding basketball on the backboard, the spinning score wheels at the top of the backboard and the mini-dunker on the side as well. This toy comes with two basketballs and a very sturdy basket and net. It's also adjustable so whenever your child gets a little taller, so can this toy.

This toy is a great idea, teaching a child to put a ball in the basket. Unfortunately the mechanism does not work as one would imagine. The cheering and music is activated by pushing down on the rim, not by anything triggered by the ball going into the basket. As a result, a succesful attemp where the child gets "nothin but net" is not "rewarded". However a child rapidly learns that there is no need to put the ball through the hoop, they can just bang on the rim and it cheers and plays music. I think this is a design flaw -probably done for cost.

Bought this for my 1 yr old granddaughter & it is such fun. My only complaint is that it is not sturdy enough for a new walker to hold onto & stand up beside it w/out it toppling over. Otherwise, a great fun gift.

I thought my Grandson would love this but he just never really got into it. He loves the balls (and all balls) but the toy itself does not hold his interest. We've had it since Christmas and he still has never really taken to it. Big waste of money.
