Stomp Rocket Space Collection Rocket Launcher for Kids, 3 NASA Rockets - Backyard & Outdoor Fun Toy Gift for Boys & Girls - STEM Soft Foam Blaster Set Soars Up to 100 Feet - Ages 5 & Up

Bought for nephews bday party and he loved it. Easy to use. Fun for everyone.

I bought these for my 5 year old grandson. I was going to watch him and his 2 sisters (ages 2 and 7) for a couple of weeks this summer and wanted to bring some surprises to make it special. This was a complete unknown to me. I had no idea if it would be a good choice - it was GREAT! These are awesome fun! You stand up the rocket launcher (a tube connected to a plastic bladder you can step on) and jump. The rockets go up 40 or 50 feet even for a little 5 year old. Notice: don't do this close to trees - we got rockets stuck in trees a couple of times and had to find balls to throw at them to try to dislodge them - that was pretty funny actually. These were a huge hit - my grandson asked EVERY DAY if we could play with them. My son sent me a video yesterday showing the kids playing with them again - they were joyful and skipping and just having a GREAT time! EXCELLENT TOY.

Bought these to replace the older set we’d had for MANY years. Quality (plastic) is decreasing compared to the old set, especially in the launcher. This new set will be lucky to survive the summer. Also - can we package these in a way that the wings aren’t all curled up straight out of the box? Gah! Outside of that, these are the best outdoor toy for the price. My son and I have had countless hours upon hours of entertainment with these things. They are so fun!

This stomp rocket was a beach-day win for everyone from toddlers to adults. Our two-year-olds were launching and chasing it nonstop, and the grown-ups were just as into it. It’s easy to set up, simple for kids to use independently, and catches air surprisingly well. The glider can soar far when the wind is right. We added a zip tie at the base of the hose for a better seal, which helped a lot with launch power. Durability varies one wing cracked early but the rest held up fine. Best of all, no batteries. For the price, the fun far outweighs any small flaws. Great gift for active kids.

Grandkids love them, shoot up pretty high when moms stomps it, great exercise when running them down

Bought for a 7-year old boy. I also purchased a set of replacement Stomp Rockets as an alternative to the planes. The rockets proved to be much more fun. So much so that 3 other parents at the park ordered them online after their children had so much fun. The planes do not fly as far as advertised and the air time is so short that the children can't really see what the plane is doing. With the rocket, they can look up immediately and see how high it went. Height and distance turned into the major competitions. The planes worked best when launched upside down at a an angle of about 45 degrees. Seems counter intuitive, I know. Even so, typical air time with an adult stomping was less than five seconds. We did manage to get the glider to glide once for about 50 feet but could not repeat it. The wings are easily bent and significantly adversely affect the flight of the planes, so that became an issue. Initial play time was about 2 hours after opening. We learned that the rockets were played with about an hour the next weekend but nothing since. So, my recommendation is to skip the planes, buy the Stomp Rocket dual rocket launcher setup with extra rockets and expect that this will be shelved or donated within a couple of months.

This simple toy brought hours of entertainment this holiday season. Safe for indoors and reusable unlike an Estes rocket. Once our kid is a little bigger we’ll graduate to Estes.

Purchased for our 6yo grandson; he loves this set! Not sure he could have done it at 5 tho - it does take some serious force to get the rockets / planes to launch. He still has to jump on the pump with both feet to get them take off, and he's in the 90 percentile for height and weight. We've had / used for about 4 months. He's already asking for more rockets to launch. He has managed to land 1 on the roof and 2 in trees, but they eventually came down (one with some prodding with a broom handle). We don't have a lot of wide open space out here in the sticks, but we make it work. He really enjoys trying to create stunts and get them to fly farther each time. All the while, I'm asking him questions that prompt him to think scientifically about what's happening - Why did that one nose dive? Why did that one go farther than the other one? Why does that one do loopty-loops but the other doesn't? It's getting him to reason and experiment. Base is adjustable to allow a kiddo (or adult in my case) to test different flight paths, and each plane will react differently to the same base position because of their designs. I can speak from experience that if a dog prone to chasing / catching things is outside and gets ahold of the rocket/plane (our Jack Russell in this case) that teeth marks in the wings do affect flying ability :) One of our planes now flies in a really interesting pattern, especially with stronger winds. Another learning experience. Fun times.
