We love Melissa and Doug products, but this was disappointing.  Our kids LOVE dressing up and playing make  believe so educationally its great.  they wear the jacket and hat for days on end some times.

However, there were a number of negatives.

*  The reflective bands around the sleeves and the body of the jacket came loose almost immediately and began to fray pretty badly.  I have solved the problem by gluing the reflective material onto the jacket with a hot glue gun.  It took a ton of time and glue to get the job done.

* You can actually put water in the fire extinguisher.  Ugh.  They kept sneaking into bathroom, filling it up and spraying water everywhere.  True, you could say that I'm not supervising them well enough, but supervising a make believe session just seems like an oxymoron.

*  One thing we've always loved about Melissa and Doug toys is that they aren't electronic.  The little bull-horn was pretty annoying.  I fixed that too :)

Nearly a year after we bought this (and fixed it) the kids still love playing with the jacket and hat, but that's because they're kids, not because this is a high quality toy.
