Pacific Play Tents Funchute 6' Parachute, Multi...

Not what I expected

I have nothing but good to say about this!!! Reminds me of when I was little in school and could not wait for the gym PE teacher to pull this out! Great for parties and everyday play. Well made too. I hope my reviews help you out.

I purchased this as a cover for my grandchildrens round sandbox. It fits perfectly, and has loops that can be secured with stakes to the ground. I found this idea online and it works perfectly. So happy with this purchase.

I bought this tent a few years ago for my triplet nieces and nephew's 3rd birthday and they loved it! They still play with it, so it is durable. The tent is brightly colored and has handles for the kids to hold onto as they are lifting and spinning it. There is a lot kids can do with this parachute: make wind and bounce balls on the top of it as they raise it up and down, make tents/forts, drag each other around on it, and lift it and run underneath, and the kids can come up with some more fun ideas to do with it. This is really something that works best with more kids, so there is a teamwork element to it by lifting it in a synchronized way. The parachute is lots of fun on rainy days and is small enough to where you can use it indoors. As much as the kids enjoy it, I was disappointed that the fabric was thin and I could see it easily ripping, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars, as well as that it had a strange chemical smell when I first took it out of the box.

I rated this 5 stars because it is exactly what it says it is - a 6 foot parachute. To be honest, it is a little too small for us so I wish I had measured out 6 feet before hand and gotten an idea about how small it would be. Just thought I would mention that in my review. This is not really a parachute you can lift up and then sit under, if you know what I mean. If you want to be able to do that, or have your child sit on it and flap it around the kid - go with a bigger size. (Or boy is 44 inches tall, just as a frame of reference.) If you were worried about using it inside, this size should be fine! It is really not too big. For the price (good) and for the quality (also pretty good) - it is worth the money and they described it correctly, so five stars! We will still use it, but also get another one that is bigger.
