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)

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.)

Just what we needed for the Little Tykes basketball hoop ( replacement for original)

You will need access to a needle and pump to inflate the basketballs.

These need to be inflated with a particular device. Since they were on a gift request list, I assumed the parents had one...they did.

Perfect for my 2 year old grandson to practice shooting hoops. Light weight. Good bounce.

Grandkids enjoys them with trampoline basketball goal, somewhat small in size for Little Tykes grow with me basketball goal.

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.

Good replacement size. Color is a little off but that doesn’t matter. The one crease in one is noticeable especially with bouncing. Expensive for what you get but overall it will serve the purpose. Would be better at maybe 6.99

The balls are pretty similar to the ball that comes with the Little Tikes basketball net. It was perfect for us as we needed to replace someone else's ball that our dog popped. However there are balls very similar in quality at other national retailers for much cheaper. I feel that they up charge for these balls because they know they are the only ones that sell one that fits the net perfectly. If we didn't need to replace someone else's ball we would have bought a less expensive ball. We payed $19.99 for 2 balls.

The balls were as advertised, although one ball was noticeably smaller than the other. Seemed overpriced for what we received.

i can't believe i paid $20 for two balls, that require inflation. luckily i had a pump. our basketball net didn't come with any balls, and i didn't think it'd be as difficult or expensive to find replacement.
