If (document.getElementById('bvseo-reviewsSection')) maybe 50-60 foot at most.ĭefinitely going to be looking for a better one of these somewhere else and returning this as it's nothing like advertised.īought as a present for a 5 year old as I previously had a load of fun playing in a group (young kids to adults) with one. The quality is really poor and the size of the rockets are really pathetic.Īs for the quoted 'Soars up to 400 Feet' No where near. At most (even with Halfords prices) it's worth £7-8. Looks like it's going to split sooner than later.įor £13 this really is not worth the money at all. The actual bag you jump on doesn't look like it will last very long either as it's plastic rather than rubber. Even the tube connecting the launcher to the bag is very cheap plastic and not very long. The actual launcher is very small and cheap plastic. The rockets themselves are just plastic tubes with rubber tips (Don't look up when they're coming down!) They hurt! and a flimsy thin plastic flight on the rear. ![]() So in the box there's 3 tiny rockets which can easily be lost on an open field (You can't really see them on the ground) so you have to watch carefully to where they land. I remember having something like this as a kid and the rockets were at least 50-60cm or more. Especially as the image is heavily photoshopped to make the rockets look way bigger! ( Very Misleading!) Anyway we were extremely disappointed when we took them out the box to find they are very small. So I bought this for my daughter and on the website it looks like the rockets are going to be quite sizeable. Tiny Rockets! Cheap quality product, expensive! Well worth the money and would definitely recommend it He loved running and stomping on the airbag sending the rocket to a very good height but not the 400ft as advertised. It was simple to assemble and kept him and the family amused for ages. What a great product! So much fun was had by everyoneīought this for my grandson visiting from Sweden and he absolutely loved it. Our kids were also inclined to rip the fins off the rockets, but we found that they were still able to fly high up in the air despite their missing parts.Played with these with my niece and her children and had such fun I bought some for my grandchildren Although the manufacturer notes that the toy is good for indoor and outdoor play, we really only recommend the latter, as we had a few close calls with our TV and other objects. The foam rockets are very soft, so they won’t do much damage if they hit anyone below the neck. You’ll want to make sure there’s plenty of clearance if the toy will be used by older kids, as the lightweight rockets can easily get stuck in a tree or on a roof with the slightest breeze. Once we figured out the base issue, our two kids (ages 21 months and 3.5 years old) had a blast hopping on the bright magenta “pillow.” Though the manufacturer claims that the rockets can fly “up to 100 feet,” our 3-year-old (who’s a bit on the petite side) managed to launch it about 50 feet high with a good jump. Our DIY hack? Regular household tape, which kept the base pieces together. ![]() There are three separate pieces that need to be attached together to form the base, and we found that they couldn’t stay put long enough to last even one stomp. Glow Rocket includes a bellow-like plastic “blast pad” launcher with a 38-inch vinyl air hose that’s screwed onto to a standing base, and herein lies the toy’s major design flaw.
