We have really enjoyed the Melissa & Doug products that we have bought over the years. However, this costume set could use some modifications. We bought two sets, one for our four year old and another for our two year old. Within one month one of the megaphones stopped working (we tried changing the batteries). They are a cheap plastic and I'm sure that it broke from being dropped, but this should be adjusted for in the design since it is made for children. And, the straps that hold the fire extinguisher and megaphone on the jacket are shredding because they get caught on the velcro closures. The most durable part of the whole set is the fire hat. It is a good heavy plastic and it is withstanding daily repeated use.
