Kidoozie Six Pin Bowling Set

My 3 year old Loves, Loves, Loves this! My brother (his uncle) gave us money to buy my son a Christmas gift. His uncle is known for taking him bowling when we visit them, so I thought what a perfect gift. My friend recommended a bowling set that she gave her daughter. She purchased the MELISSA AND DOUG Happy Giddy Bowling Set. I reviewed it but I also did more research and thought this set would be more appropriate and it was.PROS for us:1. We live in a high rise condo so we have downstairs neighbors and hardwood floors- this set is foam and do NOT make any noise when the pins go down. The Melissa & Doug set is plastic and makes noise (my friend came to our place and used our set and wished they had purchased this one. She also lives in a high rise condo with wood floors.2. The bottom of the pins have a solid and flat surface for the pins to sit on the floor without falling.3. The variety of colors makes it appealing to kids of all ages. My 9 month old seems to be interested in it and tries to bowl.4. Its fun for all ages, not just kids. My husband and I bowl with our 3 year old and our 9month old tries to roll the ball or knock down the pins himself.5. The carrying case is perfect for storing and it has a handle like the real bowling ball cases. He takes it to his grandmother's on various occasions to play there.Cons:This is a hard on because the only thing I can think of is that IF you do not put the pins and ball into the case correctly, the pins and the ball can get crushed, not major but you want the pins to be as straight as possible so they can stand correctly and the ball, you want it to stay round so it can roll.I purchased it before Christmas for $21. I see it's more now but I would pay it at this $27 price. Its a toy, family fun game that should last for years!

My first order came in and the foam on some of the pins was off which exposed the center and some of the bases were cracked. I was sent a new set and it was better but the bases on some of the pins are not level so they don’t stand up straight. The ball is also not completely spherical, it’s more oblong which makes rolling it difficult.Overall the idea is great, the foam is much quieter than plastic, the quality isn’t great though.

I have had this set for several years now and all my grandkids love it. So i ordered a set for my grandson for christmas.One of the pins in the order was broken, so I ordered a replacement set. The second set had the exact same issue, with one of the pins being broken!This had been a high quality toy that has lasted thru all 11 of my grandkids playing with it thru the years.I'm so disappointed that both sets were damaged.i guess if I combine the two sets, I could come up with a complete set… but I'd be paying double the cost.I would rate it 5 stars if I hadn’t had this issue.

My 3 year old LOVES this set and I do too... it keeps his busy, is very fun for him, and most importantly it is QUIET. I almost went with a plastic set but then I thought to myself - why would I want the sound of plastic pins being knocked over on my hardwood floors over and over again? This is a very nice quality set. The pins have some weight to them so they don't just tip with a waft of air and the ball has some weight too. Colors are vibrant and bright and the set comes in a plastic zippered storage bag with handles. The only thing is that I would make sure your child doesn't try to poke anything on the foam or dig his/her nails in it and make sure you keep a dog who likes to chew away from it! These things didn't happen to me but just some thoughts. The foam isn't super soft but it's not as durable as wood or plastic.

Love the foam pins and that they are slightly weighted on the bottom. I was so excited for a fun toy that wouldn't be super loud when the pins fell...I did return this though because the ball is weighted off center and/or it was smashed and not perfectly round. Anytime the ball was tossed it rolled wayyyy off to the left. Even when my hair or I tried. We went with a different product but I was very bummed this one didn't work out. It they can get the ball figured out it would be such a cool toy!

Bought this for my 4 yr old. This is alot better than the normal plastic bowling set. Everything is solid foam and weighted slightly so the pins don't just fall over from wind or barely tapping them. Only small thing was the ball wasn't completely round, which isn't a big deal to a 4 yr old, but just from being in the bag. I was able to squeeze it a bit and made it roll a little better. Would recommend this over the plastic sets any day.

My husband and I are semi-serious golfers (enough to have purchased our own bowling balls, but not enough to be on a league) and our son has enjoyed going to the bowling alley from time to time. When we went on the hunt for a kids bowling set to have at home, we wanted something that had a bit of weight but not too much to cause destruction of other items in the house. This set is perfect for an at home, beginner, child's kit. My husband and I were so excited when we found this one, we both accidentally ordered one each and so we ended up with enough pins to set up a full 10 and 2 bowling balls. The pins are light-weight in density but sturdy with a rubberized circular base. The balls are the perfect weight, not enough to do damage, but enough to knock down the pins well and roll based on the force behind the ball. The foam is nice and thick and the colors are great! Would highly recommend this set to anyone.

The pins and ball are surprisingly wonky... I wanted the foam because we have a 3 year old and a 7 month old and I didn't want anyone getting hurt, but because if the material and the fact that they are weighted to stay up, they tend to fall over a lot. The ball also rolls oddly. It is still a fun and colorful toy - my 3 year old loves this (as does his little brother - when he tries to eat all the parts). I wonder if a hard plastic set might have been better...
