"Bought this for my 3 year old son - he mostly spends his time trying to tip it over and use it as a climbing toy."
"This was a Christmas gift for my three year old and 15 month old twin granddaughters."

"My son received the glow in the dark hoop for Christmas."
"Very durable."
"Well made hoop and easy to put together and hand over the door."
"This is a great product and my son loves it as a in between stress reliever during homework time."
"This is definitely a great xmas gift or any time of the year gift."
"Our grandsons love this."
"Sadly, not thirty minutes ago he went to make a basket with the second ball and the whole bottom half of the backboard sheared off! He did get a lot of enjoyment out of it whilst it was whole and intact however, the fact that it is now in two pieces and unusable after only a year leads me to correct my initial review. We have no place to put an actual hoop as our driveway is on a hill so when I saw this I thought it might be just what my son needed. He has been begging for a basketball hoop for years and if we lived anywhere else but on a steep hill we would have installed one long ago."

Find Best Price at Amazon"However, after putting them together, I feel pretty good that although the most flexible part, it should hold up. The plastic in the pitching machine part and the base seem pretty sturdy. I do not expect these to travel as far as a real baseball and that is perfect for my small yard. The pitching machine is just that, a cheap, toddler version of the real thing. When you push the button to activate the pitching machine, it will spit out 4 balls before needing to be pressed again. New 2 year olds who don't swing light bats fast will have trouble hitting this. This Fisher Price Tee is weighty enough that you won't need extra weight. The three included balls fit nicely into the tee, which doubles as the storage area. For storage purposes, you could store a couple more balls in the "J" portion on bottom of the blue pitching machine part. Once I cleared out the front J part and loaded the balls properly from the tee portion, the wheel was able to spin up. I got it for my son, but my 7 year old daughter helped me test it out, and she loves it and wanted her own! SAFETY: I used my digital food scale to weigh the foam balls. These balls are quite safe for little kids and for most things inside a house, including walls and windows. However, I wouldn't leave glass cups or vases or any other fragile items that it could hit and tip over. However, it is hard and will hurt a good deal if it hits someone in full swing. I did as another poster mentioned and went to the Fisher Price website and tried ordering the cheaper, yet same replacement balls. The Fisher Price white foam balls are indeed smaller than the real thing and weighed 1 ounce as mentioned before. I'll update my post when I get these and can verify that they work with the Fisher Price set. UPDATE 18 MAR 2013: I received the Diamond Foam Baseballs (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009W8I30/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) today and gave them a test run. The good news is that the yellow Diamond Foam balls do work just fine with the Triple Play system! First, because the Diamond balls are a tad bigger, they actually get tossed out faster, higher, and farther. It may be too fast for your younger two year old, so that is where the Triple Play balls have the advantage. On the flip side, having the Diamond balls will add a little more challenge for the advanced toddlers."
"It would be fine with more balls and if once you turn it on it shot more than 3 balls at a time."
"They love turning it on and having the balls shoot out and chase them down and then playing the standard T ball."
"I imagine by seven or so it won't be as fun and he will need something bigger but for now he was able to get it out of the box and hit the ball right away."
"My grandson loves this."
"We played with it in "Tee" mode until my son returned,(about 20 minutes) installed the batteries and gave the system a test run in the "Pop-up" mode. I cannot tell you how long the batteries last as of yet, its only been about 2-21/2 hours The batteries had enough "juice' to continue pitching the "pop-up" pitches. The pitch seems to be the appropriate speed to allow the ball to pop-up to about 4 feet and drop almost straight down time after time. I ordered a set of "Champion Sports Rubber Training Baseball(1 Doz)" ASIN: B002FTSUV0 from Amazon and will update this review on my results with these balls (Update as of 5 Mar 13, these balls are too heavy for the "Pop-up & Pitch" mode on the toy, so do not order them for that purpose."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Nice that the light comes from internal LED rather than the old "glow" material that eventually fades in the dark."
"Great idea and wonderful at first but the light doesn't stay bright for all too long."
"Don't know how long they will last but my grandsons love GlowCity footballs and basketballs."
"The only little kink we have run into was that the light occasionally went off, but we easily discovered that you just need to tighten up the battery pack, and that takes care of it."
"After purchasing batteries that total nearly the price of the product I attempted to install them."
"Before I could get it wrapped for Christmas the light went out, so my husband followed the directions to replace the batteries and one of the batteries exploded in his face as he was removing it from the battery holder."
"On the second day there is a plug or a hole on the football that holds the battery or the LED light it just came off , I gave it as a gift and it makes me feel that I bought crap , won't buy again.."
"I got the package box was in excellent condition I did what the instructions said to do and plz believe me I honestly think this was a fluke the flow football didn't work I'm not mad things like this happen time to time so I sent it back and I would just like to have another one exchange I got the refund all good believe me I will still shop here love the products thank you."

"It is not a ball shape ball and it uses battery to float in the air."
"The concept of the toy is cool however when I got it in the mail, it was smaller than I expected it to be (I didn't look at the size description because I assumed it would be the size of a ball) and the foam on the outside is white unlike how it is in the pictures which makes it look sort of like a dollar tree item."
"This soccer is amazing!"
"When kids are playing inside, this hover ball is definitely a lot better than a real soccer which can break everything in your house."
"It's smaller than I thought it would be, and the kids tend to kick it harder than they should, so it probably won't last all that long, but the dogs and cats seem to enjoy it."
"The battery got so hot it melted the plastic and battery wrapping after 10mins of play."
"I ordered this from grandma for a little boy who loves sports for Christmas. I paid 18.99 for this and a few other members of my family bought it and after they herd what I said they returned it which was probably a good thing."
Best Ice Hockey Shin Guards
Mylec's street hockey shin pads are lightweight, durable and streamline for running up and down any sport court surface. Lightweight outer shell with full wrap around protection.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I purchased these because I thought: "Do I really need ice hockey shin guards to play Dek Men's hockey?" These are sufficient protection for the shins for in front of your house or with some hombres and they are much more light weight and goes w/out saying... these are more compact than ice hockey shin guards."
"Use then in senior softball league...ez to take off and on....good protection for kness and shins....highly recommend for softball...especially to protect legs from the pitcher position."
"For the price they're hard to beat, but I would pay 3x as much for something more breathable that stayed up."
"The deck league I play uses a street puck, and I've taken some hard slappers square on the shin without any pain or bruises whatsoever. I drilled several 1/4" holes into them and started wearing soccer socks underneath to try to keep my legs from sweating too much. Often the top of the pad will stick out when your leg is bent, and then they will clamp on to your pants when you straighten it back out again."
"As another reviewer noted, give yourself plenty of time to put the straps on."
"The raised shell can catch the tread if I'm too upright, but it's smoother when I ride lower so maybe it's not so bad."
"Both of my sons have these and use them for dek hockey."
"These Mylec shin pads were awesome - they stay in place (elastic straps hold them in place, although I really wish they had more elastic straps), are lightweight so you can run in them, and they stop a stick."
