I wanted to buy my 3 yr old who loves to dress up something other than tutu's and princess dresses so I went with this policeman costume.  I know others have complained about the buttons falling off and I do expect that will happen with time however my experience with costumes and dress up clothes is that they're often made cheaply and flimsy which I do not find this one.  The jacket material is thicker than any other dress up clothes that I have seen.  I think the quality is wonderful when comparing it to other dress up clothes.  I also think it'll help teach my daughter that girls can be more than just pretty princesses.  She'll love it.  I can't wait to give it to her for her birthday.  Every day is dress up day in our house so I am sure it'll get a lot of use!
