AeromaxAeromax Tangle Free GLOW Parachute BLUE GREEN ORANGE OR YELLOW 1 pack

These were actually much better quality toys than I expected. The parachutes are sturdy, as are the little guys dangling from them. My kids have had endless fun tossing these from our stairs, their play-yard, down their sledding hills on our property, and from our deck outside, which is quite elevated. The toys right themselves easily/parachute down really well even if you just sling 'em out there, and have withstood tons of abuse from my really active kiddos. :) It was also extra fun using these at night, because they do indeed glow in the dark. We have a fire pit that we use often outside, and my youngest loves tossing it around (not near the fire, obviously) while we are out there dining/roasting marshmallows/hanging out around the fire in the evening/at night. They have gotten chewed on a little bit by our dog (who decided glowing little men parachuting from our deck must be captured and destroyed), stomped on by our kids, thrown around in all sorts of circumstances, accidentally left out in the rain and snow, and still they endure like the troopers that they are. :) I have 2 kiddos, so it is always nice to get 2 in a pack so they don't have to squabble over them.

Just like all the other reviews, I think these parachutes are far superior to the type that have individual strings that attach the figure to the parachute. I was concerned that the parachute would not "draw" correctly, or enough to have the figure drop slowly, but it really works well. No chance of a tangle unless the figure ends up on top of the chute when you throw it. The chute material appears to be a very thin rip-stop nylon, which is much better than the plain plastic chutes. I end up folding the chute and wrapping the cord around the chute prior to throwing it in the air to get maximum height before filling with air. I have not tried the other methods others have suggested using to get the chute higher. For young kids, it is best to let them just throw them from a porch that has some elevation.

I bought this for my son because we have a very high stair well and other outdoor places to use this. This comes in a plastic tube and the little parachute man is plastic as well, pretty durable, he can get a little scratched up depending what surface he drops on. There is one man and chute per pack. The misleading thing is this man really doesn't glow. We have the green one and he is just a really bright neon color, but does not glow in the dark. The chute is pretty durable, it is black and green to match, again, no glowing which is kind of a bummer. We have used it many times indoors and outdoors. Does not tangle too easily, but sometimes the parachute takes a long time to open. If this was a real man he would have died a long time ago from some brutal falls. The wind sometimes makes him very dizzy as well. The price is not terrible for what you get, I just wish it was slightly a bit better working. My 4 year old though loves this, and it can entertain him for a long time, which is a win win for me. Go ahead and purchase this, but take real parachute lessons from a professional, not all of us have plastic heads..

For the most part these are fun and work well to glide down in the air. I took away 1 star because I bought two and one wasn't sewn well and the little plastic guy ripped off the first day and the other plastic guy broke off the other one. I stitched up the one and attached the other to the paratrooper's leg and he still works, but I wish that they were a little more durable for a toy that is made to be thrown and used outside. I did read someone else's negative comment that they ordered 2 and got 2 of the same color. I got two of the same color too but it makes sense that in the warehouse it is easier to just grab from one spot. I'm not bothered by getting two of the same color.

These are fun for younger kids to play with. I've bought them as gifts and usually keep a couple at home for when family is over.

These products are great fun in the park with kids running to catch them, learning to throw them up. There are less expensive ones available that rely on gravity's influence on a very light little toy person in order to open up. These are made in such a way to always open.I will update this review if i get the chance to try it out at night, but for now I am very satisfied with how they fly and the sturdiness of the build.It is not a problem with the make or the product but I do wish there were a way to choose the colors you receive. (If there was a way to choose, I must have missed it.)Still, great fun and a great way to take a little break at the park, and for little kids, these can be easier to catch than a ball, and just as fun.

Colors in pictures are wrong! Bought this for my son as a stocking stuffer and would have been fine with any of the colors shown but ended up with hot pink! Nowhere does it mention that's a possibility and now that I'm going back reading reviews, it sounds like the exact thing has happened to several others. I can't speak on the quality yet and probably won't since I won't be giving it as a gift now.
