I bought this for my 8 year old son. He is on the smaller side (height and weight) and this fits him great. Yes, his ability to take normal steps is reduced based on how they have the foot holes, but he loves the costume so much he doesn't even care. It is really fun, and I actually really like how they have the feet. It covers his feet completely so it looks like he has creeper feet. It only takes a minute for the costume to blow up. He can see great out of it, but you can barely see his face and head unless you get up close. The price of the costume is a bit steep, but your kid will love it I would bet no other kid will have it. You could easily fit warm clothes under it if it is cold outside. Read more
