 Better Batter Baseball July 21, 2008
My son absolutely loves it! I was able to order extra balls from Fisher Price(under replacement parts). Worth every penny and then some!
A Total Hit!! July 3, 2008
I bought this for my grandson's third birthday. He had seen it advertised and it was all he wanted. He was absolutely THRILLED with it!! It worked just as shown and during his party and he must have played with it an hour straight. I was slightly hesitant about this product because I had read the other reviews and the problems other people had experienced with it, but for the most part it worked as it was supposed to. The velcro on one of the balls seems to stick a little harder than with the two other balls, but he manages to get it off after a few swings. I am glad I went ahead and ordered it, even though I knew it might have some problems, but knowing what those might be and other folks solutions to them were, I feel we were ahead of the game. It would be great if you could get replacement balls. Hopefully that will happen in the future if enough people request them.
 Piece of Junk May 24, 2008

Like many other reviews, my 4 year old son was obsessed with getting this after seeing the commercial. We bought it for him as a reward and he was ecstatic... Sadly, this thing is a total piece of junk. Unless you hit the ball perfectly (and what kid can do that every time?), the plastic arm that holds the ball flies off, requiring an adult to snap it back on. Then after about 10 hits, the velcro holder came off. I took the whole thing apart, re-attached it and it came right off again. Thats when I came in to check the reveiws on this product (which i should have done before I wasted my money) and found almost everyone has the same problems. Its a shame, because the few times it operated, it was alot of fun. This thing is going right back to the store. Now my son is heartbroken and we have wasted our Saturday with this thing. DO NOT BUY.

We have had this toy for over a year now, and my 6,5,and 2 year old all love it (as do all the neighborhood kids). With that many children playing with it (and it being left out in the elements), it has lost a few balls. If you go to the Fisher-Price/Mattel website, they have an online catalog where you can order almost every part for the toy (including extra balls-which seem to be on backorder). Very helpful!
Cool toy! May 14, 2008
We love it. It always works great and it has great sound effects. My only problem is that I need more balls. We lost one and having only 2 is tough. Other than that, my 4 yr old loves it. He is too small for my 10 yrold's pitching machine so this is a great alternative!
