Botabee - Set of 2 Kids Basketball - 6 Inch Mini Rubber Ball for Little Tikes - Toddler Balls for Indoor/Outdoor Play - Ideal Gift Toy for Boys - Lightweight and Soft Replacement Toys (Orange)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:We have a little tykes basketball hoop but the cat got hold of the ball, needed a new one. We saw these, they are the same size and look as the old one. I inflated them and found them to be a good quality and are nice and bouncy.

These balls make my life just a little bit harder. So I bought my nephew the basket ball hoop, that showed 3 balls but came with one. While setting it up my son played with the ball and loved its smaller size, bouncy nature. So when it came time to give to my nephew, it was a sad day. But then to make matters worse my brother doesn't bring basket ball hoop to his home, instead leaves it at my mother's, so there is this toy both boys think is theirs and fight for. Sooo I order up a two pack of these monsters and leave one at my house and one at my mothers house with my sons name so he can have one there too. Received them surprised they weren't inflated but made sense. Inflated leaves a weird crease in balls but they still work and seem to be working itself out. Needless to say, such a big hit I'm here ordering more of these things. Would recommend.

I had recently introduced my 4-year old grandson to the basketball concept of give-and-go. But we were using a plush ball that didn't bounce, so I figured it was time to level up. Since we're playing in a basement, I didn't want a ball that was too heavy — just one that bounced. These balls are the right size and weight for our purposes, and my grandson had blast over Christmas practicing his skills with his uncles. Note that one of the balls bounces a little more true than the other. (The inflate valve on the second ball sticks out a little and makes the ball more difficult to dribble. Since I only needed one ball, I didn't try to troubleshoot the issue. Maybe I only needed to put a little more air into it. If it's a defect that I can't correct, at least one of the balls works. And even for one good ball, the price is reasonable.)

Although it says it’s easy to inflate that is not the case! If you don’t have the small needle to fit inside the ball you can’t inflate it. They do feel durable and once inflated are good balls. But cmon, inflate the balls before sending! I bought this from a gift registry and didn’t read the description and I’m sure she didn’t either. They are great little balls for toddlers and now that we have them inflated they will have lots of fun with them.

Priced reasonable and good enough to replace Little Tikes Basketball. Easy to inflate and has lasted since purchase. Fun for little children.

Exact replacement for basketball we lost from our Little Tykes set.

U get two small basketballs that you need to blow up before using

These are deflated when they arrive. You need a ball needle and pump to fill them up. Which does not come with the balls. That is why my review is a 3⭐️ instead of a 5. The balls are fine but had to go buy a needle and pump before my baby could actually play with them.
