Editorial Review:
The parachute gambit is a teacher's secret weapon--a tried-and-true way to annihilate the afternoon blahs. At approximately 9 feet in diameter, with handles all the way around for little (or big) hands to grab, this sunny Playchute Parachute is just smaller than the classroom standard. Fling it into the air and watch it drift down. Run underneath it and watch the colors rain down. Throw a few stuffed animals in the center and bounce them around. Simple, satisfying thrills, and worth every penny. --Claire Dederer

Fine Toy:
This review is about this parachute compared to other parachutes. It is not a review about whether or not parachutes are fun. Of course they are. On the positive side, this parachute is cheaper than others. Unfortunately, however, I thought I was ordering a parachute with pink in it (see photo), but received a parachute with dark purple, instead. It's not a very attractive parachute. Also, I thought I was ordering something that would hold a lot of air and be fluffy. It is not. It's heavy. Finally, I thought I was ordering something that a child could sit in and be lifted by adults (like in the gymboree). The directions clearly state you can NOT do this with this product. I'm sure kids can have fun with this, but the limitations break my heart. I was so looking forward to this toy.

Great Fun!:
This parachute is alot of fun. My kids love to play with the parachute. Not only do they play with friends, but it has become a family fun game. My kids love to see howlong they can keep a ball bouncing on it. Durable and easy to store.

10 foot parachute:
As a grandma, I've given two 6-foot parachutes and thought they were too small to be exciting. So for this 4 year old, who had loved the big parachute at nursery school, I bought the 10-foot parachute. Caveat: It's too big to spread out in any room in a 1920s townhouse. Gotta be an outdoor toy -- unless they use it to make a hideout.

So much fun!!!:
We're really satisfied w/ our purchase, this is not expensive as the other ones and made of excellent material, hours of fun!!!

Gift for Grandson in 5 years:
Purchased this as a gift for my grandson as he gets older. Watched kids have fun at a party with the parachute and wanted to be able to give this as a gift later.
