 Fun August 27, 2008
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
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.
Great product! July 31, 2008
I got this for my 4 1/2 year old son and he loves it. He is really learning how to watch the ball when he is swinging. This is definitely worth the money.
 Only okay July 26, 2008

My son got this as a birthday gift for his third birthday. First off, it needs a 5 volt battery that is NOT something you can find at the local discount store. We went ahead and set it up without the batteries for now. It went together easily in about 10 minutes. Like another reviewer mentioned, the velcro holds very tight and you have to pull the ball off and place it back on very lightly in order for the child to be able to hit it off. Also, the top part of the arm pops off if the child aims to high and hits the plastic piece that hangs down from it. Kids cannot reattach the arm so every few swings mom or dad has to put the thing back together. Great idea but an old fashioned t-ball set would be just as fun.
