Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Let me preface by saying if your kids want one, don't let this review dissuade you.However keep in mind a couple of issues:
1.The toy is indicated for 5-12 year olds.We all think our kids are 'better than average' so we don't worry about buying on the low end of the ranges, right?We got this for my 5 year-old's birthday and he really likes it, however, the helmet is heavy and bulky.I'd guess 2-3 lbs.My son is just under 40lbs so you are talking 5-8% of his body weight.If I had a 10-15lb helmet on based on my weight I think it would also quickly tire me.Again, not the products fault, just something to consider when you are buying it for smaller kids.
2.Limited visibility.Like a motorcycle helmet, you aren't wearing this and running through the woods in the backyard.Very limited downward visibility, so difficult to see where you are walking.
3.After you put it together, I'd suggest gluing the parts together.I haven't done this yet, but I have had my son bring the parts to me and ask me to put it back together.It fits together, but doesn't snap/lock in place.
Basically the helmet is like playing in the backyard in a full motorcycle helmet (although not snug).If you can get over that, enjoy, my son sure does.
