I bought the "junior" size for two little 4 yr old boys...it seemed to be a good fit :) Hope this helps!

I would say that it is a bit small for an average size 5 year old. It's sits very low to the ground. I bought it for my almost 2 year old and it is the perfect size for her.

The basketballs are child size, approx. 7 inch diameter. Also I suppose you can order additional balls, like replacement parts, from the manufacturer, Huffy sports.

I bought a standard one on amazon. I think they are all pretty much same size. It was like a memory foam one and my kids love it

Hmm. I'd say the footprint is smaller than the size of a regular basketball. And it's about 12 inches high.

Dear Erin, the price is the key to determining size. Look at the 5" listed by size and see how much it costs. If the Boo you are looking at is close in price then it is a 5"!!! I messed up until I learned that trick! By the way, my granddaughter absolutely LOVED THIS BOO! The 16" giraffe. It's a great buy!

The ball we got is 9". It is item ASIN: B0002Q9DOG. It is a DUNN-RITE basketball, "Splash-it" that we got on Amazon last year for $22. Hope this helps!

I haven't tried a full regulation size ball, but we have a junior size ball that seems to fit just right.

Check sizing that is made available in description of product. It's a good size theatre and perfect for small children. Good construction/quality.

Get the 45 cm ball is under 5' tall; 55 cm for 5'-5'6"; 65 cm for 5'6"-6'; 75 cm for 6'-6'5" and 85 cm ball if over 6'5" tall. I am 5'10" and got the 65 cm ball which is just right for me!

I was looking for similar information. You would want the 25" which is for ages 8-10 and great for those just starting out. This is per www.tennis-warehouse.com

It's a nice size... Don't know exact measurements but I have twins and they loved it....they were able to play comfortably...got it when they were two and got something bigger @ age 5 1/2... But I'm telling u great quality. Looked just as good the day I got rid of it as the day I bought it!!

I'm 5' 2 1/2" and I bought the small ball, the 55cm. According to the box it is for up to a 5' 5" person.

I think age 2 and up to 8 or 9. It is a small ball for small hands. Kids will use what ever ball is available though! I had these out to play with next to my regular sized one and a 4 year old picked up the "big" ball and threw it in the small hoop and it went in, so it still fit through the net! What ever is your preference is really all that matters, end the end they really dont care what ball is use as long as you have one. Hope that helps!;)

Just like it says on the product description, "Basketball Sizing & Age Group Guide: Official Size 7 (Size: 29.5"; Age: Men 15+), Official Size 6 (Size: 28.5"; Age: Women, Boys & Girls 12-14), Junior Size 5 (Size: 27.5"; Age: Boys & Girls 12 and under), Mini Size 3 & Micro Mini Size 1 (Fun and/or Promotional Use)"

This basketball hoop only goes as high as 7.5ft. I bought it for my 5 year old who will be starting in a basketball league that plays in a 7.5ft. I can probably get 4-5 years out of this. If your child is already 10 years old (probably in 4th grade), you may only get 1-2 more years with this hoop. You may want to get the Lifetime 1221 Pro Court Height-Adjustable Portable Basketball System with 44-Inch Backboard instead since this will adjust from 7.5 to 10 ft. Normally, they start playing with 10ft rims in 6th grade. I hope this helps.
