For the price, the hat is fine. Fits my 4 year old. It does light up, but I wouldn't look directly at it lest you go blind. It really is bright. I won't need to worry about finding my kid in a dark room. The material is flimsy, but it will hold up to moderate use. Battery life seems good. All the silver trimming on the hat is sloppily hot glued on. It's obviously cheap. The LEDs tend to pop out of their place. The battery pack and switch is stuffed behind a small patch of cloth, and is always falling out.

Kids will love it.
