I bought this for my 36 pound 2 year old son.  We had to roll the pants up a little, but the adjustable overall pants took care of keeping them up.  The Jacket has a zipper and metal "clamps" on the outside~ making it look even more official.  This looks just like the ones the firefighters wear in our neighborhood.  It is extremely well made and should last thru a lot of play.  I have not tried washing it yet.  A little pricey, but you get what you pay for in this case.  The material is thick and the stripess are reflective.  The helmet is a thick black plastic with yellow stickers.  The sticker on the front says "fire chief".  He has dropped this helmet and scraped it up a bit (he is a boy), but it has held its' shape.  It would take A LOT to dent or break it!  He had a of light up pair of tennis shoes that we used on Halloween instead of boots.  He LOVED the whole outfit!!!  He likes to wear it for play now.  It is perfect for Halloween because it is THICK and will keep them warm.  NO coat required on top of this costume! (I put his pajamas on under the costume).  If he wears indoors I put LIGHT cloths on him because he tends to over heat.  Would def. buy again and have even been asked where we found it!  Lots of compliments on this one.
