Kid Helmet Reviews

Hardcore Star Wars collectors will turn their noses up at this one, and one can hear the kids whine "But he doesn't even look like Han!" The doll bears no resemblance to Harrison Ford at all and is way overpriced. Six or seven dollars for a doll this size is more appropriate. Ugh.

He doesn't care if it looks like Harrison Ford. He just likes taking the costume off and on. It snaps off and on easily, and is very durable. His twin brother fights him for it. They love all things Star Wars. A removeable costume for a figure is very entertaining to them.

This board is nothing but junk. Dont buy it. The deck is like a piece of flimsy plywood. The bearing are horrible. the trucks aren't even good enough for grinding. The wheels are loose. The deck split in half when i was on the halfpipe. Dont buy this board, i was highly diapionted.

We were a little disappointed about the size of this skateboard. Pay attention to the dimensions - its really a little kids skateboard - too small for the 12 and 13 year olds we were buying them for.

only good for a replacement set of wheels and bearings for the old school skaters of this world. the deck is crap. it not even painted already for you! I would buy this to use as a replacement set of wheels.
thankyou

My 2 1/2 year old really loved this set as his first real action figures. The figures are electronic and hooked together. Separately they each have sounds and voice but when connected together CD Moon and his Robot Liftoff actually communicate with each other. Kids love it because they can eaisly push the various buttons to hear the sounds. all the figures in th Rescue Heroes line are very durable and stand up well to the kind of abuse a pre-preschooler can dish out. Add to that the nice wide feet of the figures allow younger kids to stand them up quite easily as compared to normal action figures. These are really fun, reliable and wonderful toys for young children. No small parts to worry about being swallowed. Good stuff!

I'm a little skeptical about this new Robotz line, as most of the extra little robots you get with the figures are pretty boring and sadly jack the price up on the figure. However, this extra robot you get with Gil is a lot of fun, as it's on all 4's and when you press the button (which is very awkwardly underneath the tail end) it "walks" along and makes a mechanized sound, as all 4 paddle feet flip over and over. It's the only Robotz robot that my son gave a second look to, as all the other ones in the line he cares little about and only wants the rescue hero.

Would be 5 stars if not for the button you press to start the robot being on the underside, and the fact that despite the photo showing Gil holding his helmet, it is permanently attached to his body via a cord, so it barely comes off his head and hangs to the side.

We gave this toy to our Grandson for Christmas after purchasing it from JC Penny catalog. He had just unwrapped it from under the Christmas tree when he started to play. The gear for the back-hoe arm stripped after about 2 minutes. All the realitives were watching in disbelief.

We gave this to my Two year old son for his birthday and he LOVES it! He plays with it everyday.

I ordered this for my 2.5 year nephew for Christmas, and it was probably his favorite gift out of the hundreds he received from my overly-enthusiastic family. Its great for several reasons, 1- It looks cool! His eyes lit up when he saw it because it looks like a realistic construction vehicle, just his size. He recognized it right away from his construction books - He immediately screamed "Its an estibator!" (excavator)
2- Its easy to use - It took him maybe a day to really become good with the controls, which are easy to move joysticks. So, its not too complex or frustrating to work. By the evening he was transporting his Fisher Price Zoo toys in the scoop from one end of the room to the other.
3- Its easy to put together. Yes, moms & dads, aunts & uncles, it takes 3 easy steps. You just have to attach the scoop, plug it in to the riding part, and then pop in the batteries.
4- Aside from the scoop, the rest of it is kid-powered. So, He scoots and the treads move. It goes as fast or as slow as your child can handle. And, since it is on treads, rather than wheels, I don't think the toy could speedily roll down a hill. (although, we only played indoors with it)

Negatives - like any other toy, its kind of loud with the "construction sounds" but I think that's half of what my nephew loved.
And as for its durability - I can't really say, my nephew's only had it a week.

Either way, I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this toy from my son for his 2nd birthday less than a week ago. It is designed for the sandbox, but has already stopped working because sand has gotten into all the sliding parts. It also has a locking mechanism that is too difficult for even my almost 4 year old to figure out. But my kids love to ride around on it, it's just too bad the rest of it is so poorly designed.

My son got this at his 3rd birthday party. He was way into construction toys and this seemed great. And it is great, but my only complaint about it is that it's hard to turn the handle part for the scooper to lower. Once it's down, he could work it. But I found myself constantly having to turn the handle for him, and sometimes it was hard for me to do!
Otherwise it really is a fun toy for the price you pay. and any little boy who loves to dig, will love this.

This toy is great for little boys or girls who love equipment. I got this item for my son 2 nd birthday gift and he just loves it. It is a tiny tractor and it is just like his grandpa's tractor so which makes him a very happy little boy. THIS IS A GREAT ITEM.

Our 4 year old received this for a birthday present. The helmet is ok, except that the adhesive pads inside came off the first wearing (and the adhesive got in her hair - what a mess!). The knee and elbow pads are too stiff to stay on her knees and elbows. And they are just a plastic bubble. The first time she fell, the plastic shattered on one of them and made it worthless and dangerous for further use.

The big sell point was that it was pink and had the Princesses on it. Why can't Disney make quality products? They sure charge enough!

my three year old daughter prefers to fall and get scars than to use these pads. she says these pads are very uncomfortable and they hurt her. when she does wear them, she takes them out after two minutes.

We bought the helment the size smaller than this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter when we bought her first Big girl bike 16". Anyways, the smaller size wouldn't even fit her head!! I don't think her head is big by any means. So we went and exchanged it for this. This one is just as bad. The pads are cool but, the helments adhesive came off the first time she wore it and the pads will scratch her if she isn't wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt! DONT BUY!

The helmet was always falling apart. The padding comes off,and the straps pull away from the body. The elbow and knee pads were fine, but the helmet is junk.

When I received this product in the mail, it was broken. Aside from that fact, it seemed flimsy. Don't purchase.

An earlier review noted that the helmet had been recalled. The recall was for a single lot, sold last summer, and not the entire helmet line. It does not appear that the helmet line itself is in question. It is one of the few helmet and pad sets available for kids as young as 3, so I didn't want to dismiss it from my list without checking into the details of the recall.

My three year old is enjoying the helmet but it seems overly large. I'm 6' 220 lbs and can wear the hat comfortably, on him its really big. The microphone boom is not necessary and is an annoyance. We cut it out with a seam ripper and it worked well. Visibility is good with the hemet and the padding on the top is welcome.

In short it's fun, but the educational value eludes me.

My son wanted to be an astronaut for career day. This helmet was a hit with all the other kids and his teacher. (He dressed up in a white jogging outfit and this helmet.)
