SainSmart Jr. Motorized Rocket Launcher Toy — Rechargeable Foam Rocket with Built-In Parachute, Up to 200 ft Range (Ages 8+)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Bought this for my 8 year old grandson. Man does he like it.? We lauched it probably a dozen times in the cold and snow.

This rocket is actually a lot of fun. You definitely should have space like a schoolyard to launch it from. But my seven-year-old could easily launch it on his own. I feel like it goes pretty high, and kids love watching and chasing it.

This is fun and simple and easy to use. My 5 year old can do it on her own. It has multiple launches on a battery and we've never run out of battery time before they're done playing with it. It works well deploying the parachute and it doesn't take too long to stuff it back in and launch again.My only critique is that the bases of really small flimsy plastic piece so when the rocket starts warming up sometimes it'll fall over. Since the base is so flimsy I have to put it on pavement or a flat surface because it'll just fall over in the grass before it launches. Even then, occasionally it'll fall over before it takes off on the payment because the spinning of the propellers wobble it around on the plastic base and sometimes it falls over before takeoff takeoff.I also wish it went up a little bit farther but it's still pretty fun.

This is the second one of these I've gotten for the kids very cool goes high deploys shute and returns to earth if there's no trees in the way. Also has blinking lights

Birthday gift for 7-year-old grandsonHe loves it

This was sent as a gift to a teenager. I have not heard how he liked it. In past, he has liked all gifts I have sent him.

One of the coolest gifts!

Bought the is for my 5 year birthday, charged it up and went to try it out! We launched it close to 15 times before the wind shifted, and it lodged in the top of a tree. Fearing the tree would have damaged it, we got it down and examined it. Upon review, the design of the parachute is great, a few strings were pulled through, however the way it��s designed you just run the cord back through! Parachute it of durable fabric and not cheap plastic. Great toy! Wished they had larger and higher flying. It does meet the 200��. Check wind direction prior to launch!

My son loved it and nice that it can be reused by simply putting parachute back Easy to use. Make sure there's clearance so it doesn't get stuck on a tree or other object.

Gave as a gift ... grand children loved it ... fun toy, flies great ... would buy again from seller.

My grandkiddos ages 6 and 4 absolutely loved this rocket! Have to also mention there Dad and uncles! Flies high as promised and the parachute is an extra thrill!

My grandson went nuts over this rocket. Just be careful if it's windy outside. On the highest setting, the rocket goes nearly out of sight. It's made of Styrofoam so the wind will blow it away. If you don't have a few acres to recover it, it may land somewhere out of reach. Also, watch out for big trees. I had to buy him a second one.

Operates exactly how it's described. Shoots very high in the air. Make sure you are clear of obstacles, especially if it's very windy. Lots of fun!

This is a fun little toy for all ages, from the wee little ones to the well aged. Just make sure you fly it in a large open field so you don't lose it. I bought this for my niece's 5 year old son. We had such a great time at the park with it, I might buy another for myself.

This is a gift for my 11 year old nephew. I am sure he will love it.

Glad I bought the 200ft version of these rockets. This thing can soar when you do the double press on the button. The single press is good too, if you don't want to chase this thing all over.

This toy rocket did exceed my expectations for how high it will fly. So it requires a large area to fly with no trees or buildings, because even light winds will make it drift quite far from the liftoff spot.It is easy to use and a single battery charge lasts for over forty launches which is also impressive.It is a bit fragile though, so the delicately it is handled, the longer it may last.My grandsons loved it.

Really love this rocket! I have 4 boys and they all chase it and try to catch it before it hits the ground. We actually bought a 2nd one just to make it less of a hazard having 4 kiddos running toward one falling object! It does fall pretty quickly so I do think they could improve the parachute to make it fall a little slower but overall it's a blast! Do make sure you are launching it in a wide open area free of trees nearby. It usually goes straight up but the wind definitely affects whether it will come back down relatively close to the launch area or drift. We have had zero issues with launching either rocket we bought so we are very happy customers!

Our 5 grandkids love these. There are 2 settings for low and high trajectories. Make sure you have a wide open area if you use the 200 ft setting, especially if it is windy. Once the parachute deploys, it works every time, if it is breezy they will drift a 200 to 300 feet easily. Make sure there are no big trees nearby or they will get hung up in them. The battery life is impressive. The kids tire out before the battery needs recharging. If you are on the fence buy these.
