I ordered this to be shipped to my granddaughter for Halloween.  It was perfect for her since most two-and-a-half year old's need something that moves with them as they race about.  Nothing cumbersome about it and other than having to buy tights and a pair of shoes, I think it was worth the money.  I purchased the size that she was currently wearing and it was pretty snug.  Since it was a 'one time use' for trick-or-treat I wasn't concerned.
