Looking for a Basketball Hoop for Your Kids or Toddlers?

The Hoops Geek shared a review on the 7 best basketball hoops for kids and toddlers.  Here are some things to consider when making a purchase:

1. Safety - look at the materials, breakaway rims, and stability.  Plastic is a a better first choice material, after your child understands some of the fundamentals and safety measures, you can upgrade to fiber glass and metal.
2. Stability - Light plastic hoops are safer in the beginning.  Wait until your child has been taught the safety measures of using a heavier hoop than can tip over.
3. Materials - Make sure that the backboard is advertised as indestructible and made of some composite material, such as fiberglass or polycarbonate.
4. Durability and Longevity - Think about how long you think your child will use the equipment.  There are early age hoops, door-mount hoops and hoops that grow with your child's height.

Basketball is a great sport to introduce your child to and can be played indoors during the toddler years.  Bright colors and large hoops to make shots on will definitely encourage your toddler to keep playing.  More sophisticated hoops can be purchased later on.   Have fun together and keep working on the shot.
