Jr. Astronaut Helmet with sounds White, Suggested for Ages 8 and up

Bought this helmet for my 8 yo son who wanted to be an astronaut for Halloween. He already had a NASA flight suit, just needed something to complete the outfit. This helmet complemented the suit perfectly and he really loved the functionality. The visor opens at the push of a button (spring loaded) and there is a speaker inside that plays some mission control audio when you push another button. Sturdy enough to play with it on and looks decent. It is large, an adult head fits in there, but this did not cause any issues. He loved it and was grinning ear to ear the whole time. The only con I see is the price which is on the expensive side. Overall I'm glad we purchased it and would definitely recommend it as a costume accessory.

So much fun to see our 2 1/2 year old grandson in his one piece fuzzy PJ's run around with this huge helmet. He certainly looked like an alien from the 60 and 70's. He loved it even if he could not quite reach the buttons, it is sized for a larger child (ages 3+) but with help we managed. There is not a lot of rocketship stuff for that age so ordered it knowing it would probably be too big. Appears to be solidly constructed. I appreciate the volume of the countdown, it is not too loud.

Our boys loved these, personally I think they are worth the price they are very well made. They boys dropped them a couple of times and they didn’t fall apart. Everyone complemented us on their outfits, the helmets really completed the costume. I wish the helmets had more padding on the inside to keep it more stable and the boys did complain on their hair being pulled when they were wearing them. Otherwise they are really great, i wouldn’t recommend for smaller kids, it was far too large for my little one who is 3.

I knew this item would be too big, but my 6.5 year old daughter loves it anyway. Sometimes the visor opens while it is being stored in the astronaut backpack. Only has one recorded message. Powered visor is a nice feature. Both buttons are labeled on the sides with stickers, not sure how long the stickers will stay on. NASA logo has been painted on the back of the helmet (not shown in photo). Fake buttons on front are painted (so glad their not stickers). Thick plastic, so it should be durable. Helmet is two pieces glued together, I hope the glue holds. My daughter is very gentle with her stuff so it should last a long time. For the quality, I feel I paid too much, but compared to the other options that I could find, it was worth it to pay more for this and hope we can get 3 years out of it, versus paying less and getting 3-6 months.

My son loves it. My wife get's a kick out of it. I think it's awesome. It's huge! it fits like it should - so my little one isn't going to get his noggin stuck in it. The sound volume is perfect - too low to be annoying and just right for the wearer. I think this is one of those presents that will hang around for a while. Oh, one negative thing - I'm not sure it really is negative - The face plate fell off after a few hours of tough play. Now normally I would call that a bust, but not in this case. I like the way the plate can be reattached - but I also like that my little astronaut isn't too confined. It's just a little piece of mind that he's not going to suffocate - I know it's safe - I just don't want to be that parent who find out in the emergency room that my little adventurer was the victim of parental stupidity.

Cute toy, fun, cool, but won't sit straight on the shoulders of a smaller child (ages 3-8) will sit fine on an adult or teen (14-37) anyhow the little ones love it but its heavy and I worry about their neck and head as it is not padded. I have to supervise while they wear it. But they love it so what do I do.

Initially I was concerned that i would not fit my daughter. But I read a review where someone said that it fit their 25 year old son so I took a chance and I am glad I did. First the package arrived on time and a little early that expected. I tried it on first and it fit over my head just fine and I am a 40 year old adult. My 10 year old daughter fit it just fine with no problems. It is the final piece to her costume for a Black History wax museum project at her school. She mentioned that it was a bit uncomfortable on her shoulders but the product does recommend that you could add additional foam like weather stripping foam for a more comfortable and custom fit, which I think we will do. Besides that It was a great purchase and I am happy that I went with this. She will be using and playing with this long after this project is over!

This helmet is aesthetically very cute and is made of a durable plastic. The intercom has no volume control however, the volume is not too loud for a small child. My 8 year old daughter wore this helmet for Halloween. As many others have complained, this helmet is too oversized for smaller children; I can fit my head inside the helmet and still have some room left over, with no problem. Even my daughter, looked somewhat like a bobble-head with the huge helmet over her head! But what is worse, is the push-button visor feature; it is impractical for a helmet that is labeled "junior" & marketed for children, to only operate with a pushbutton feature. The push-lock feature used to close the visor, should be the same feature used to open it…not a push button. As many others have stated in the reviews, this makes the helmet more prone to malfunction or to be easily broken if mishandled or dropped. My daughter only wore this helmet for 24 hours on Halloween; after hours of pushing & releasing the visor/button all day, I carefully put the helmet back in the box. I started to walk away & heard the visor pop-up and release on it's own, in the box. After, removing the helmet from the box, I observed the visor would no longer work… it was broken. I was able to return and exchange it with Amazon, hassle free. But the point is, it should not have broken after 24hrs use; that visor button needs to be redesigned as it is flawed & impractical.
