Young Heroes NASA Astronaut Child B002BM2UZS

Young Heroes NASA Astronaut Child Costume, Medium - 2.5 out of 5 stars from 6 customer reviews


Kid astronaut Costume
If you're just a little concerned about quality, DON'T buy this! The outfit might have been usable if the vest that comes with the costume fit appropriately. The vest was about 6" bigger than normal and since it's a vest and the costume is already very cheap looking, fixing it and letting your child wear it would be embarrassing. The backpack is too big and only works by velcro into the outfit and helmet. The helmet was the craziest thing, a plastic clear shield that is delivered rolled so the shape is totally messed up. I can't really describe this horrible waste of money. Just don't buy it. There is no value in paying for what looks like a complete package for an astronaut costume but nothing works.


DISAPPOINTING!
The astronaut "helmet" that was part of this costume was a complete failure. It was supposed to connect with the costume through some glue and velcro, neither of which held. It did not even last through one house of trick-or-treating before falling apart, in spite of our efforts to reinforce it before we left home. If I am remembering right, I think the costume was somewhere in the neighborhood of $40. Such a disappointment and not worth even half the money for a very flimsy polyester, nothing-special-about-it-without-the-helmet costume!


Cool concept, But not so durable!
My sons loved this outfit. However, the all plastic backpack isn't well constructed, and has a bad 'plastic' smell to it that didn't go away even after weeks of being out of the bag. There was something sticky and gooey on the upper part I could not wash off.

The cloth 'jumpsuit' and top were ok, typical, thin costume quality, and got snags and tears after about a month. However they wore the costume for play time, not just one night for 'Halloween'.

I was really dissappointed in the plastic attached backpack. I would rather have purchased one of the space shuttle 'jumpsuits' that look better constructed, than this, if I had it to do over.
