Get kids started on their way to a great batting average with this terrific baseball trainer that helps develop hitting skills, muscle tone and hand/eye coordination. For beginners, use it as an easy-hit T-ball set. As your child's skills improve, it transforms into an automatic pitch-up machine. One push on the foot switch releases five time-delayed balls in a row, and an audible signal indicates when the next ball is coming. Includes a bat, five balls and auto shut off. Requires 4 "D" batteries, not included. Measures 13.75"L x 13.75"W x 26"H.

Skip this toy Jan 04, 2003
My husband and I purchased this toy for our 5 year for christmas. We have an unfinished basement so we let him play this downstairs. (It's too cold to play outside now.) The toy is fun when it actually works. Many times the balls get stuck. It's very frustrating constantly trying to get them to actually pop out. When they do sometimes they are too low to hit. We haven't yet tried to play t-ball with it. It's fairly light so it's possible it may tip over many times. I find that the pieces are pretty durable. My son does continue to play it but he often stops cause it gets frustrating. He sometimes just plays with the balls and bat so it wasn't a total loss.

Disappointed Oct 23, 2004 By Pooh "sktaylor9"
We gave this toy to our 4 year old son. That was 1 1/2 years ago. It worked at first, but the balls did not pop up high enough for him to hit. After about 1 month, the balls did not pop up at all. Little Tikes replaced it with a completely new toy. Again, it worked for a few months, but now it does not work. The beeps sound (a nice feature), but nothing happens. My son has given up on the automatic feature and will sometimes use it as a t-ball stand. Most of the balls are lost. Thank goodness I only paid $10 for this on sale - but not even worth that much!

Hours of fun! Sep 16, 2004 By Flaggi "Flaggi"
This has to be the best toy we ever bought for our 3 year old. He plays non-stop with this both outdoors and in our basement. I was worried it might go through alot of batteries but that hasnt been the case. He has learned to hit so well that I'm a little scared he won't find T-ball very stimulating. Adults have alot of fun with this too! If we had paid 4 times what it cost I would still say it was worth every penny! This one wont get left behind in the huge pile of unused toys.Definitely a great toy thats easy on the pocketbook.

Not Tough Enough to Stand Up to a Nine-year-old Brother Jan 31, 2006 By Kevin
We bought this for our two-year-old daughter, who loves sports, for Christmas. The very first time we played with it, our nine-year-old son was demonstrating it to our daughter, and he broke the stand!

Now granted, nine-year-old boys can be tough on anything and everything, but he was actually being (relatively) gentle for the purposes of the demo. I think he had his foot on the base when he hit the ball (and the tee) but that is still a topic of debate.

We still use it for t-ball, which is fine since our daughter still has some time before she can hit a moving ball. But I am disappointed in the quality, as we've had always had excellent luck with Little Tike toys.

Fortunately, its still a good price just make sure older siblings (and Dads) are cautious not to stand on the base or hit the tee when they make contact with the ball.

Home Run with Little Sluggers Dec 14, 2005 By T. Hale "Rara75"
We bought this toy for our son when he was almost two. He loved it! He loved both the pitching and the Tball. It was just the right pitching height for him. He was around 36" then. You do have to use the balls that come with it so I would recommend buying another pack of them so your child has to refil it less. It is a fun toy with a great price.
