| forkids's Full Review: Play 'N Fold 4-in-1 Sports Center |
This has got everything and at a reasonable price ($29.99). Today's Kids is a brand I would put in the same league as Little Tikes and Step 2. They have beat their competition to the punch. They threw everything but the kitchen sink into this set. It has:
the net - good quality, sturdy (you have the option to add sand if you need to. This will make it heavier. We did not).
2 hockey sticks that can attach to the net when it is folded for storage.
A baseball bat with baseball
A hockey puck ball
A soccer ball
Gosh, did I leave anything out?
What do I like about it? It is a safe set for toddlers and is recommended for kids 18 mos. +. I agree.
The net is sturdy with good side support. (I have another net that keeps toppling forward. I used to weigh it down with bags of dirt).
The two hockey sticks are heavy duty and won't crack in half (unless provoked).
The baseball bat is lightweight yet won't smush in the sweet spot.
The balls are all very good quality.
It folds for storage and the whole set can be folded in with the sides and the sticks attached in the back.
It has a carrying handle.
The goal can be used as a t-ball stand (we use another t-ball stand for t-ball).
The height is perfect for toddlers. It wouldn't hit someone in the head if it did fall forward (which is highly unlikely and I have not had this problem).
The drawback - some assembly required. Not so bad when the outcome is full of so much play value.
If you compare this set to the cost of buying just 2 hockey sticks and a ball (Little Tikes Easy Hit Hockey Set-$13) you are $17 away from having all of the above. Little Tikes Easy Hit Baseball is $17. Now you are at $30 and you still don't have a net and a soccer ball. So get this set. It offers good value.
I will give it a 4 only because there is assembly required. It does not in any way reflect on the quality.
