 Buzz Wing Pack February 13, 2010

I bought this toy and the Buzz Cuffs for my 3 year old grand son for Christmas. He enjoyed the gifts and it is a good toy to help role play. It is durable as he is very active.

I bought this jetpack for my son's 5th birthday. He loves wearing it while standing in front of the tv, watching Toy Story on DVD. When I first opened the box, I spent about 5 minutes trying to figure the thing out, then I gave up. It took my husband at least 20 minutes to figure the straps out. But once he figured it out, he laughed at himself because he said it was obvious. Either way, from reading other reviews it doesnt seem like we're the only ones who are confused by the straps. MY biggest complaint is that this toy is ruining my walls. I finally took it away from my son and told him it was an outside toy. Imagine your child wearing this hard plastic jetback as he turns corners and runs down the hallway, the hard plastic hitting the walls as he goes. We have some chipped paint now because of it. It is a good toy, but it's a better outdoor toy.

I got this for my almost 3 grandson. It is recommended for an older child. But he LOVES this and so do his cousins who are 4 and 5. It is well made, easy to put on, and the buttons on the chest make him feel like he is BUZZ. Love this toy
Except for the unwieldy straps, a great toy. December 29, 2009

Two issues you should know about before purchasing:
1. The straps are not as simple as they appear in the pictures. First, there are too many of them for younger kids to make sense of--one over each shoulder, one under each arm, one around each side of the waist. To get into/out of the outfit, the "belt" strap and one of the over-the-shoulder straps come apart. Problem is: the unit is then a tangled mass of straps going in every direction--impossible for a little guys to unravel when they want to put the outfit on. We tried leaving it "assembled" (leaving the belt and shoulder straps connected, even when he's not wearing it) so he could see where each strap is supposed to go, but that didn't work. If it's tight enough to wear, it's too tight to wriggle into; if it's loose enough to wriggle into, it's too loose to wear. He just got struck trying to wriggle into the outfit.
2. Also, the slack from the over-the-shoulder straps hangs down in FRONT of the "breast plate." On the model, they've solved this problem by tucking the slack neatly away behind the other straps--in real life, that doesn't work for long. You can pin one of the straps down, but the other strap has to come apart where it joins the breast plate so your child can get into/out of the outfit, as noted above. Consequently, it can't really be pinned out of the way--at least, not permanently. You just have to keep tucking it behind the breast plate and the other strap. It doesn't look nearly as tidy as the picture suggests, and doesn't stay tucked away for long.
That said, my four year-old LOVES his Buzz Wings and wears them all the time! These minor issues are much more of an annoyance to me than they are to him.
Bottom line: younger kids will need a grown-up's help for putting on and taking off the outfit, and the straps are a more unwieldy than the pictures imply. Otherwise, a GREAT toy for your little Power Ranger.
