8 Best Toddler Basketball Hoops for the Littlest MVPs

Litlte Tikes is an iconic toddler brand, with more than half a century of experience in the field, and the TotsSports Easy Score is a good example why. Designed for kids aged 18 months to 5 years, this option is great for indoor or outdoor play and features an adjustable rim height with six stages to keep up with your pint-sized athlete as they grow. An oversized rim caters to your toddler’s beginner skill level, and the sand- or water-filled base holds the whole thing down safely, even when your little player drives hard to the basket.

Why limit yourself to just one play sport set when you can have three? This standout option from Costway doesn't just come with an adjustable rim and net for shooting hoops, it also has an integrated soccer goal and golf-putt hole at the bottom—all in one connected, space-saving design. A sturdy triangular base greatly minimizes the risk of toppling, and you can add sand or water for even greater stability and peace of mind. Constructed from HDPE, a type of thermoplastic, this three-in-one activity center is lightweight for easy maneuvering, durable for long-lasting fun, and non-toxic for worry-free use. And if the charming space scene isn't your kid's cup of tea, there's always the animal shapes!

All of these features make this a hoop that’ll provide countless hours of fun for your toddler for years to come.

For babies who are still too small to dunk (for now), the LotFancy Basketball Hoop is an excellent introduction to the game, and gives them two appealing options: tossing the ball through the hoop or rolling it up, down, and around the base below.

When the scoring is less frequent, hitting the sound button reactivates the effects to keep baby enthralled.
