This has to be one of the most fun costumes of all time. It is a bit hot especially in florida but a tip for that is to buy those plastic ice cubes and wear them on your body haha. If you have a pouch or a pocket you and just stick your arm in grab the ice cube rub it around and then keep going and it really does cool you off. My daughter has a blast with us chasing her around. We are going to do a dinosaur birthday themed party and using it there and maybe buying more for Halloween and doing a t-rex family! People that see you get really happy to. One of our neighbors said it was the best thing she saw all day. So i'm like win!
