Product Description
Get kids started on their way to a great batting average with this terrific baseball trainer that helps develop hitting skills, muscle tone and hand/eye coordination. For beginners, use it as an easy-hit T-ball set. As your child's skills improve, it transforms into an automatic pitch-up machine. One push on the foot switch releases five time-delayed balls in a row, and an audible signal indicates when the next ball is coming. Includes a bat, five balls and auto shut off. Requires 4 "D" batteries, not included. Measures 13.75"L x 13.75"W x 26"H.

 Love this Toy May 20, 2008

My 2-1/2 year old son got this as a gift. He already was into bats and balls so this was a real hit. It has worked perfectly for us and he has spent many hours playing with it. I have found that when it doesn't toss the balls up as high, I just change the batteries and then it works great. It is very durable to being hit with the bat as that happens quite a bit when my son is using it as a t-ball stand. I would definitly recommend this toy.

 Not Tough Enough to Stand Up to a Nine-year-old Brother January 31, 2006

7 out of 8 found this review helpful
We bought this for our two-year-old daughter, who loves sports, for Christmas. The very first time we played with it, our nine-year-old son was demonstrating it to our daughter, and he broke the stand!
Now granted, nine-year-old boys can be tough on anything and everything, but he was actually being (relatively) gentle for the purposes of the demo. I think he had his foot on the base when he hit the ball (and the tee) but that is still a topic of debate.
We still use it for t-ball, which is fine since our daughter still has some time before she can hit a moving ball. But I am disappointed in the quality, as we've had always had excellent luck with Little Tike toys.
Fortunately, its still a good price just make sure older siblings (and Dads) are cautious not to stand on the base or hit the tee when they make contact with the ball.

We bought this toy for our son when he was almost two. He loved it! He loved both the pitching and the Tball. It was just the right pitching height for him. He was around 36" then. You do have to use the balls that come with it so I would recommend buying another pack of them so your child has to refil it less. It is a fun toy with a great price.

We gave this toy to our 4 year old son. That was 1 1/2 years ago. It worked at first, but the balls did not pop up high enough for him to hit. After about 1 month, the balls did not pop up at all. Little Tikes replaced it with a completely new toy. Again, it worked for a few months, but now it does not work. The beeps sound (a nice feature), but nothing happens. My son has given up on the automatic feature and will sometimes use it as a t-ball stand. Most of the balls are lost. Thank goodness I only paid $10 for this on sale - but not even worth that much!
