Ball does not stick
1 out of 5 stars
Tibby - 1 year ago
The idea of this toy is great, but the ball does not stick to the paddles. It is too light and the fabric does not have enough grip! One of the straps also came out from the back and we are not able to get it back through the holes because it has to be threaded so tightly. We've always loved the B. Toys brand, but sadly this one is a miss.

The ball does not stick to the paddles. After playing a few times, it was even worse. If the ball was a little bit denser it may have helped with latching on to the paddles. Overall the ball was defectively designed and does not latch well to the paddles.

Toddler mom - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
Used it once and the Velcro came loose from the back and is impossible to weave through again so it can’t be attached to the hand anymore. Faulty design is unfortunate , just a line of stitching would have made a huge difference.

I love the design and how sturdy the paddles are. The ball, however, never sticks for us. It just bounces right off. The toy has become pointless and useless because of this.

The Velcro doesn’t always like to hold. It can be kind of difficult to get the ball to stick but we love it and still have fun playing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these critter catchers and my girls love them! It's a different way to play catch and more of a challenge so my girls enjoy it especially since it's different!! Would recommend for kids over 6 as my 4 year old had a bit of trouble, but she did still enjoy trying to catch the ball.

Material is great quality. Seems sturdy and durable. I gave it one star because it does not perform as it should. The ball or fish toy in this case, does not stick to the paddles. It just bounces off no matter how hard or soft you throw it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a set similar to these that I picked up at the dollar store Andy kids liked playing with it. This set is made much better and looks way cuter than the plain Jane ones we had before. Love the design! It's fun playing catch with my 9 and 7 yr old kids. I'm thinking of buying another set so we can play with 4 people. Maybe that's something that should be considered to be sold as a set of 4 instead of just 2 that way we don't have to take turns.
Soft ball and reliable velcro

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set is so much fun! My four year old's hand fit comfortably within the velcro area and when readjusted it held very securely. The ball is a plush style, so it is lightweight, easy to throw and doesn't hurt if it hits you. The velcro on the Critter Catcher front is very strong, and after hours of use it has not diminished in quality. The shark look is s huge hit in our house, as is the different colors used for the two catchers. My kids have really enjoyed playing with this toy over the last few weeks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I remember having a toy like this when I was growing up. I got this for my son and I to play with and we had a blast! The back strap adjusts so no matter how small your hands are, you can adjust it to fit to your hand size. He had such a good time throwing the ball and catching it like a big boy. The ball sticks very well to the Velcro and was a little hard for him to pull off at times, but that is not a huge problem. These are made with a very nice quality plastic and has held up very nicely to his rough play. I am very happy with these!
