Rocket Launcher for Kids, Motorized Air Rocket Toy for Ages 8-12, Launch Rocket up to 164 ft, Fun Outdoor Toy, Self-Launching Rocket Toys for Kids Age 8-12, Ideal Birthday

We are always trying to impress our 7 year old grandson with a fun surprise. Usually, our attempts turn out to be duds. This rocket hit a home run. We charged it in the wall for about an hour with the included charging cord and my iphone plug. We were never sure if it was totally charged, but directions said it "should take about 30 minutes". Simple to put together - just a 3 piece launching pad that snaps together - 7 year old did it totally by himself, without looking at directions. We set it up on grass in the middle of a soccer field - and he pushed the button one time. Spun for a few seconds and then launched straight up in the air about 80 feet. Next launch, he pushed the button 2 times and it flew twice as high (and not quite as straight up.) Almost hit a few birds on the way up. Launched about 10 times total before we went home. Launched again in our back yard after ignoring my warning that it might get stuck in a tree. Landed smack in the middle of a nearby tree but we were able to shake it down. Phew! Definitely need a wide open space. So much fun. Recommend for any age group.

I NEVER write reviews, but I had to come back and write one for this! I ordered this for my son as a gift for his 5th birthday. THIS THING IS AMAZING!! And when they say it goes 164ft in the air that is no joke, it really goes that high. Thought the landing would be rough on it but the parachute actually works and helps it land pretty gently. I will note though that this is most definitely not a toy that can be used inside due to not being able to change how high the rocket will launch, it will just continue to bounce of the ceiling. Most definitely worth the money and one of the coolest toys I’ve bought for my son and I will be buying another!

Liked ease of assembly, quality, kids loved it. Disliked the stand it sets on could've been more solid but awesome gift for my 7 year old. He really liked it

This is a great product. You do have to be a bit careful with the parachute part, if you put the cap on too much it won’t eject the parachute. It’s not perfect but for the price it’s a ton of fun. 1 charge gives you about 20 launches! It goes two heights, high and very high! Like 200 feet high! Great fun with small kids, it’s just a propeller, so pretty safe although I wouldn’t touch it when launching, it spins very fast. Worth a purchase though, it’s fun

This really does go high up in the air, be best to be in a open field. Like a football field etc.

Worked great for the two times it launched. Unfortunately, it goes high enough that when the breeze takes it over to a tree as it comes down, it’s way too high to retrieve. We thought we were in a great clearing but apparently not clear enough, so this purchase was basically a big waste of money. Don’t get if you can’t find a place where there are zero trees in a huge clearing. Otherwise, you’ll have a very sad kid.

I got this for my 7 year old and its one of the few gifts he hasn't been able to break! After 2 months of launching it it got stuck in a tree 25 feet up. Parachute out and top off is where it stayed for 5 weeks of abuse from the wind and rain until I was able to get a pole long enough to get it down. There were no rips or cracks in it at all! The top was open to catch all the rain it could hold. We charged the battery and continued launching it for the next 30 minutes. Our dog even retrieved it for us a few times. It continues to work just as well as the day we took it out of the box. 3 months and still going strong.

This thing is wicked cool. First time I used it went super high kids were so impressed. Wind instantly took off with it down the road into a humongous tree, never to be seen again. I bet it would be a lot of fun if you get to use it more than once. Don't test your luck, find an open field. Super cool toy.
