My son (age 6) loves space and talks about being an astronaut.  With Halloween coming up we thought it would be a treat and inspire a new round of creative play (he reads about space, talks about space, watches videos on space, and uses Planet Heroes action figures and other space related toys to have pretend space adventures).  We have always made his costumes, but he was so into space that we thought we'd "treat" him to something beyond what we could make.

The product came, it fit perfectly with some room to grow (although he was a 6/7 and this is an 8/10), and was of good quality. I really appreciated the authentic patches and professional look of it.  Traditionally thrifty with such purchases, I was satisfied.  It was worth the price in terms of quality, and buying a plain jumpsuit and buying even one NASA patch and American flag would have been a hassle and about the same price.  So, it's a good product.

For whatever reason, our child does not use it.  He likes it, wore it for Halloween, but he seems to respond more with a feeling that it should be cool but not with true affection.  Rarely does he try it on.  Perhaps we should have gotten the helmet, as the baseball cap is uninspiring.  Perhaps it is TOO realistic (if I could do it again, I would have bought orange instead of white) and thus does not inspire like a cliche silver suit might.

So, if your child likes realistic costume play (firemen costumes come to mind), great.  My child was not inspired; it could mean many things that are not the company's fault, but know your child before putting in an order.
