good size for 3-5 year olds - so far it seems to be holding-up great

Officially this size is rated for 4-7 year olds, but my 2 year old does well with it. Has a nice rubbery grip to it and seems to be holding up well to a few outdoor sessions.

The real test will be durability. I'll check back in a couple months if there are any concerns to report.

Good quality ball and very colorful. Perfect size for my 4 year old. I did have to add a little air (pump not included) but it was aired up most of the way.

My two year old loves this basketball! It is the perfect size for him to hold and be able to dribble as well as throw. He loves to play with this all the time and loves the colors!

Bought this mini basketball for my 5 year old to use. He loved shooting with it since it's a lot lighter and he's able to get it up to a regulation height rim.

The quality of the finish on the ball isn't the best, as some of the red color has pulled away from some of the seams, but the kid doesn't mind, and it doesn't seem to affect use of the ball.

Perfect fir your tiny enthusiast

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2018

My 18 month old has been obsessed with bballs since she was at least one. She can also tell the difference between it, a soccer ball, tennis, etc. so when I attempted to satiate her desire for a ‘ball’, nothingbwirjed wuite like this;-)
She loves it. We nursed with it fir a few days and it was her nap buddy a few times as well. Came inflated- as pictured/described. A bit big fir her but she’s a giant, so will grow into it quickly. Totally worth the $10.
