The shopping basket is nice for playing store in realistic fashion.  The cardboard box products are just that, empty crushable tearable cardboard boxes.  If you want those to last, you'll need to stuff them with paper or styrofoam and tape them closed.  The plastic groceries and eggs are fine.  It's not the best set of groceries out there, and 17.99 is steep, but it is nice to have the shopping basket.

couldn't find in stores, really nice piece for my playable collection.

Nice toy for the money.  My 2 year old granddaughter loves "shopping" with it.  I wish the food packages that came with it were a bit more substantial.

Man that's a lot of pieces!  Very realistic and we bought a playset kitchen so this goes well with that.  I'm going to need to come up with some storage options for all this, but the kids are having a ball playing with it.

I purchased one of these at a local Toys R Us for 19.99 as a gift for a two-year old. They are quite cute. The packaging is minimal and the hang tag includes the doll's name and a few tips about the environment in which she lives (there are three different dolls). The package info. says they are 100% organic cotton, but I would be interested to know if the manufacturer is truly operating in a 'green' manner or if this is just another gimmick. Nevertheless, this makes a nice option for young children and alternative to the plastic dolls widely available in stores.

This basket is perfect for storage of random sports paraphernalia that seem to migrate around the house.  Right now, this basket has baseballs, hockey pucks, nerf gun bullets, two footballs, a baseball trainer (a tool to teach kids how to hit the ball), maybe a dog bone, and a frisbee.  Hopefully, those items will at some point make it to their rightful homes but for now, it holds those items in a fashionable way.  Sports storage doesnt have to be all about plastic and ugly!

Purchased this set for my son on the advice of a friend.  It shipped quickly and my 8 year old immediately wanted to play.  As he and I were playing outside, neighborhood kids came by and asked to try it out.

The Pros:
The paddles are wooden and have a nice feel and sound when they hit the birdie.
The game is certainly easier to play with young children than badminton.
The paddles are sturdy and I feel they could take more abuse than regular badminton racquets.
The drawstring bag for storage is great.  My son has a box and rack for his outdoor toys and it easily hung up there.  Having it contained in a bag helps insure little folks won't lose the paddles and birdies.

The Cons:
The wood has some imperfections/flaws.  I'm not sure if these will affect the long-term integrity of the paddles or not.
The foam grip handle covers easily slide off.  We had to stop several times to push them back up, but this is a minor con.
The storage bag is a great idea, but the drawstring on it is a bit fidgety, but it's still a good addition.

The Kids:  Yesterday was Children's Day here in South Korea.  We took our son out to meet several of his friends at a local temple complex.  The children ranged from 6 to 10 years old.  Goodminton was the most popular game we brought.  All of the kids (and the adults) enjoyed it greatly.  Even the youngest kids were able to play and seemed far less frustrated than they would be by regular badminton.  Because the game is light and is in it's own bag it was easy to tuck into our picnic bag and bring along.

Overall, I'm really pleased with the product.  I would be willing to pay a bit more better non-slip covers on the handles and higher quality wood, but I will be purchasing a set for several upcoming birthdays.

Good quality shopping cart. Our 18 mos. old grandson loves filling it with things from my pantry and pushing it thru' the house. Great quality and the best part is that the cart is enclosed so things cannot fall out of it while they are playing. Also has a little seat to put the doll into, just like a real shopping cart.

I saw this toy in the driveway of a young neighbor's home ... they have a toddler of about 2 years of age.  I ordered one through Amazon for my currently 21 month old granddaughter.  The "toy," itself, is excellent.  Not only does it provide fun through real and not virtual activity, it teaches eye/hand coordination and other useful skills.  It is height adjustable and should serve well for several years.

The problem that I see is that the Little Tikes EasyScore Basketball set is shipped in its RETAIL carton.  The retail carton is THIN cardboard and not designed for shipping protection.  While the toy, itself, arrived undamaged, the carton is MANGLED.  NOT suitable for gift giving!  In my case, this was not a big deal since I bought it as a grandparent to use with my granddaughter.  BUT, if you are considering this as a gift, either buy it in a retail store, or choose something else unless you do not mind the carton being crushed here and there!

the Willow Tree "By My Side" figurine is just as described and as sold in stores for a much lesser cost that is feasible.  True to size, color, and likeness of products sold at retail store

The basket of play fruits and vegetables was exactly what I needed to accompany my purchase of Step2 Cozy Kitchen.  My grandson loves playing with the veggies and fruits since they resemble the foods that his Mom and Dad cook for him.  He also loves to dump things out and put back into containers so the basket works well for this.

These shopping carts are wonderful for your little play-pretender. They're much more realistic than the plastic ones, and easy to assemble as well. We got out son one for Christmas, so we can't exactly judge whether it's really durable, but so far it's endured being pushed up and down the house, and accidentally overturned, too. My son, who's 5, loves it -- he plays supermarket and loads up on groceries, then brings them to his "restaurant." It was a great purchase, worth every penny.

nice baskets, maybe not as tough as the ones you'll find in the grocery store but suit my purposes perfectly.

Looks realistic -- smaller than I expected but still nice!

For the price, this is a nifty basket with loads of vintage appeal. You cannot put anything of weight in it. It is more decorative. Made with wicker and wood, it is very cool. A nice place to store a pocketbook, keys, helmet or a phone.

I can see why people are bothered by not getting what's pictured, but I lucked into the one in the photo and I really like it.  Also, the item is taking some hits because of its small size, but the dimensions are there for all to see.  I knew it would be on the smaller side and that's what I wanted.  It's very realistic looking.

It's a cute little basket for a good price. It meets my expectations I had from the online picture. I will probably buy more.
