Review on 🏈 Enhanced VTech Sports Center: Tackling Frustration-FREE Packaging by Sam Thorpe

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best sports toy for my little one!

My 18 month old son loves this toy! We gave it to him for Christmas and almost 5 months later he still plays with it every time he sees it. We have a 2 story house and we wanted something that we could store downstairs that wouldn't take up so much space and would be a million pieces. That is exactly what is achieved! I love that it has two grooves on each of the base legs to neatly store the balls when not in use. You can also turn the sound on and off and play. In the box you will receive a sports center, a soccer ball and a basketball. You will need to use a screwdriver to attach the scoreboard, so remember this is not a toy that you can easily take apart and reassemble as needed. But like I said, it's very compact. All other parts just snap into place like most VTech toys. Sports balls are great for little hands, but need some air after a while because they get soft. Because they are silicone, they can easily become unbalanced if they run out of air and your child steps on them. It also requires AA batteries, seriously not included. The whole sports center is very durable and can be used on different surfaces. We wanted a basketball net that wouldn't put too much pressure on the little guy. He resisted my wild toddler kick, hit balls, threw other toys into the net, and dragged the entire middle across the room. Not to mention the basketball/soccer fights between my husband and I. Don't tilt! When you throw the ball in the basket, it counts to ten. It's just applause when you shoot to score without counting. There are also fun songs to cheer up the little ones. The mechanisms are fully functional and allow for seated play. Folding tabs also make noise when you turn them. My son's favorite picture is the monkey on the side. He'll pull this thing even when he's not playing with the rest of the gym. I definitely recommend this toy. My son loves to play football so this is definitely a win for us!
