 extremely disappointing with no customer support October 10, 2008
C. Singer (Auburn, WA United States)
My daughter was so excited about this product and we got it for her 5th birthday. First the ball would not come loose from the velcro, then it completely broke. I tried everything to get a replacement part - no help at all from the company's website and basically told 'too bad' when I called. What a disappointing toy and a waste of money! It was my daughter's big gift and we couldn't get our money back, a replacement part, and so her bday was a big disappointment. Very sad!
 My son's favorite toy ever September 24, 2008
C. Corban
This has been my 3 year old son's favorite toy. It is great fun and it is adjustable to different heights. We have had to order some replacement balls because we lost a few but they were easy to find. We even got another one just like it for my nephew for his birthday and they love it too. We have not had any issues with is not working properly like others have stated in their reviews.
 Fun August 27, 2008
J. Reppart (United States)
The kid that I gave this to loves it. Although it is kinda flimsy. The thing that holds the ball will sometimes come off. And they really should provide more than 3 balls with this.
 wish I'd chosen something different August 16, 2008
Craig A. Wittmann
My kids LOVE to play with this when it's working, but it breaks quite frequently. They can't fix it by themselves, so it requires a lot of parental involvement. I'm going to try a different one next spring.
wonderful, despite reviews August 2, 2008

My 3 n a half year old loves it. We've had it six months and no problems cept its hard to keep track of the balls, our dog loves them and the boys loose them. I read you can order extra balls, I'm doing that today. I was skeptical due to the bad reviews but my son is gaga for baseball since his older brother is in little league. When I had my latest baby I promised my son a toy for her birthday, when this was his choice after many months of waiting there was no changing his mind the comercial on nogin got him! We made the purchase very reluctantly but it was a hit litterallly. he loves it to this day. My older son loves it too and its way beyond his age bracket and skill level. I am very happy with it if your kid wants it whats the worst that could happen you buy an extra? mine hasn't broken only the balls get lost. I give it an over all 5 with a 4 for skill because only a father or mother's time teaching a boy baseball can do better in interesting a child with the sport.
