Review:

The Fisher-Price Grow-to-Pro Basketball set is good for kids from age 2 to 5 years. This basketball set can even be used with a regulation basketball. It is a great hoop for children to grow up playing on. It can be used “from small to tall and from beginner to pro!”

This set includes an attachable ball scoop so that a child does not have to chase after the ball after every shot. This can be easily removed for one on one games or team play.

This basketball set’s dimensions are 10 x 22.5 x 45.5 inches. It is fairly light weighing 19.6 pounds. It is great for indoor or outdoor use. Although in many ways it is similar to portable basketball systems, this does not have wheels attached and it will have to be carried around when moved.

Grow-to-pro

This hoop adjusts to four different heights. It can be adjusted from 3 to 6 feet in 1 foot increments. Kids can use the child size ball that this basketball set comes with and eventually switch to a regulation basketball.

The height adjustment can be used as the child grows taller. It can also be adjusted when they are playing with shorter or taller kids. It can be adjusted to the maximum height for a bigger challenge for older kids.

Setting it up

Putting the Fisher-Price Grow-to-Pro together can be difficult for those who do not have enough brute strength. It will not need any tools to put together, but it requires a good amount of force to attach the parts together.

The instruction manual may not be the best, but it can help anyone assemble this basketball set. After it is all set up, the base should be filled with water or sand for better stability. It is quite solid and sturdy once the base is all filled up.

Bottom line: The Fisher-Price Grow-to-Pro Basketball set is a reasonably priced and height adjustable basketball set for kids. It may be difficult to assemble and the instruction manual may not be the best, but it is a good quality, solid and sturdy basketball set for ages 2 and up.
