Aeromax Original Tangle Free Toy Parachute has no strings to tangle and requires no batteries. Simply toss it high and watch it fly!

This would be a great gift for any boy or girl around 2.5 and older. We just purchased this for my 3 year old and it is one of his favorite toys. He attaches to helicopters, flies it off the couch, throws it around outside, takes it on rescue missions, etc....Lots of imagination, easy to use, tangle free and good quality. I would highly recommend this toy (my husband even enjoys playing with it). It's a great price too!

Our four-year-old daughter got some dime-store parachute guys for her birthday, and while they were fun they were also frustrating due to the tangling aspects. I found these on Amazon and ordered them, and she has been happily playing with them for days now.She doesn't quite have the arm to throw them high enough when standing on flat ground, but we have a straight-shot stairway and if she stands at the top and throws towards the ceiling, it will begin 'floating' about halfway down.She loves it and happily runs downstairs to grab him, then back upstairs to throw him. It also makes nap time easier because she's so worn out. :)The no-tangle aspect of the toy works *perfectly*. I can recall when I was a kid I hated having to constantly de-tangle my paratroopers, and this toy solves that by using a single string to the jumping man, which then attaches to a reverse-cone of netting on the underside of the parachute.I think the netting has a slight effect of slowing the flow of air up under the parachute, but only slightly, and overall it's well worth it due to the lack of frustration. Highly recommended.

My 6 year old nephew really enjoyed this. It reminds me of the little parchute toy men I had growing up. Fortunately there are no strings so this does not tangle nearly as easily. It is a LOT larger than I expected; the man is about 4 inches tall.He did not have the strength, patience or aim to throw it straight up hard enough to allow the paracute time to work. Us 'BIG Kids' each took turns throwing this toy until we were just exhausted. Fortunately we have a 2 story foyer and he tired himself running up and down the stairs to drop it.I'm not sure how long this one will last, he lost interest after about the 6th time up/down. It is made really well however so as he gets older and finds more create ways to give it flight, he will still be appreciating it.

This is an amazing revision to the parachute toys of time's past. It can be balled up sloppily, or neatly folded and rolled, tossed into the air and it unravels high up in the air, quickly, easily, and falls slowly to the ground, and can be caught in the air.This is a toy that is fun for adults and children alike.If only there was a way to request, specifically, what color was wanted. I ordered 2 for 2 boys, and received two pink. I wouldn't have a problem with pink in general, and neither do they, but differentiating between whose and whose requires them paying careful attention to how we personally marked them.

I don't have any experience with parachute men as this is our first parachute toy but my boys haven't played with it like I had hoped. It definitely doesn't tangle which is a plus and seems to be made of quality materials, but my kids (ages 4 and 6) can't throw it high enough in the air to engage the para hit on the way down. So by the time the parachute opens the toy has already landed. We've thrown it down stairs and I've gone outside to throw it for them, but even though I can throw it far enough to let the parachute open the fun is short lived because it comes down so fast. So overall it wasn't as fun as I was expecting it to be.

This is an absolutely fantastic product. Got three of them along w/many other very expensive presents of all sorts for my grandkids, 9 and 7. The only thing they played w/endlessly was the parachutes. They threw them off the upstairs, they threw them off of chairs, they threw them back and forth. An absolutely wonderful product. Eventually their parents had to restrict their using them as they were obsessed w/them, and it became a big bargaining chip, "behave or we'll take away the parachutes". The best money you'll spend on toys, So far indestructible.

Both hands broke off the first day! My son was so disappointed and unfortunately I missed that there is no returns/replacements for this item. I am a frequent shopper on Amazon and this is the first time I came across an item that I had a problem with that I didn't receive help on either replacing or returning. What a complete waste of money!

These are the best parachutes that I have ever seen. Months later they are still in great shape and the kids have a lot of fun dropping them from the loft to the main floor. The key is that they actually work, as opposed to any I have seen in the past. They do need some height; maybe six feet to get a good result, but if you can get them that high or higher they are truly impressive. My son is a little bummed that his is pink but it works so well that he uses it regardless.
