Aeromax Original Tangle Free Toy Parachute has no strings to tangle and requires no batteries. Simply toss it high and watch it fly!

This would be a great gift for any boy or girl around 2.5 and older. We just purchased this for my 3 year old and it is one of his favorite toys. He attaches to helicopters, flies it off the couch, throws it around outside, takes it on rescue missions, etc....Lots of imagination, easy to use, tangle free and good quality. I would highly recommend this toy (my husband even enjoys playing with it). It's a great price too!

I had a good time playing with this parachute toy. It can only be thrown maybe 25 feet max into the air because it's not that heavy and the chute unravels pretty fast. It is true that it never tangles-because it has no lines, just mesh. I'll use it to teach my 8th grade science students about terminal velocity. The quality is good and it should last a long time. My three year old daughter likes to play with it too. Update 1/30/14 Still working great!

This toy has a unique design and with some father help kids may enjoy it a lot. It is not pricey and as stated tangle free (unless you use it at turbulent weather. However it requires quite a bit of strength for operation and a preschooler would find it difficult to operate. So it is something that a kid can not play independently. That is why my 3 years old son has passing interest on this toy whenever we offer it. He wants to be independent and achieve something himself while playing but all he can do is watch daddy... Another problem I have noticed is that it is dully designed. The colors could be more catching with may be some pictures on them and the parachute man is like a joke. It looks like the cheap figures that were offered free when I bought chewing gum in my childhood. No moving parts and painted in blue from top to toe, besides the parachute is connected to the head which is not realistic at all. With its low price tag, it is a good toy that offers occasional fun to children. But it could have been more appealing with some minor make up.

This is an amazing revision to the parachute toys of time's past. It can be balled up sloppily, or neatly folded and rolled, tossed into the air and it unravels high up in the air, quickly, easily, and falls slowly to the ground, and can be caught in the air. This is a toy that is fun for adults and children alike. If only there was a way to request, specifically, what color was wanted. I ordered 2 for 2 boys, and received two pink. I wouldn't have a problem with pink in general, and neither do they, but differentiating between whose and whose requires them paying careful attention to how we personally marked them.

I did not expect this Tangle-Free Toy Parachute to be passed down for enjoyment by several generations. I did expect it to last a week. The Toy Parachute broke off the intrepid soldier's back within a couple days. It did work great until then, never tangling and fully filling the parachute after just a foot or so of drop. My kids enjoyed it while it lasted. I will glue the rope to the guy's back and should get more mileage out of it.

Definitely a must have for any boy, my 3 yr old can play with this for hours...however, he cannot throw it up high enough in the air to get the parachute to work so guess who gets to partake? Yep, mommy and daddy. Oh well, is fun for all (and a great workout for mom & dad!). Great outdoor activity for kids (and adults) of all ages. My 7 yr old niece liked it so much she wants one of her own. I would definitely recommend for all kids. And you can't beat the price! Seems like all toys are so expensive these days, so is nice to be able to spend $5 on a great quality toy and know you will definitely get good use out of it!

Our four-year-old daughter got some dime-store parachute guys for her birthday, and while they were fun they were also frustrating due to the tangling aspects. I found these on Amazon and ordered them, and she has been happily playing with them for days now. She doesn't quite have the arm to throw them high enough when standing on flat ground, but we have a straight-shot stairway and if she stands at the top and throws towards the ceiling, it will begin 'floating' about halfway down. She loves it and happily runs downstairs to grab him, then back upstairs to throw him. It also makes nap time easier because she's so worn out. :) The no-tangle aspect of the toy works *perfectly*. I can recall when I was a kid I hated having to constantly de-tangle my paratroopers, and this toy solves that by using a single string to the jumping man, which then attaches to a reverse-cone of netting on the underside of the parachute. I think the netting has a slight effect of slowing the flow of air up under the parachute, but only slightly, and overall it's well worth it due to the lack of frustration. Highly recommended.

Too heavy to "float" down. The man on it is a bit too big and heavy. You'd have to drop it from a really big height for the parachute to open. I had high hopes for this because my son LOVES to make parachute's out of bags (course the don't really work) and he loves the cheapy parachute men he got at a birthday party (but they tangled too easily). This doesn't tangle, and the idea/design is good, just need a little better man to go with it.
