My 16 month old son loved this costume. He loves Elmo, but he also liked that it was soft and colorful. He walked around for hours, not even trying to take it off (he usually doesn't like anything on his head). And he really liked the giggling feature. Every time I pushed the giggling sound, he laughed. It is very soft, good quality costume that is made well for active walking toddlers. I would definitely recommend this costume.
