Our take on the VTech Count & Win Sports Center with Accessories

The VTech Count & Win Sports Center is a two-in-one toddler sports toy for ages 12 to 36 months: a basketball hoop and a soccer goal with an animated LED scoreboard. Smart sensors count each basket or goal automatically and the toy calls out phrases like "you're amazing." Buttons, turning gears and a sliding trophy add fine-motor play, and it teaches shapes, colors, numbers and sports through songs. It is bulkier than a single-purpose hoop and needs 3 AA batteries, but it packs counting, cause-and-effect and two sports into one frame that most owners rate highly.
