Summary: 3 Stars
I have both Helmet Heroes for my 4-year-old. The concept behind these toys is great, but the function and instructions/directions are horrible.
It would be nice if these came with real instructions on how to use the features. Like many consumers I had to get online to figure out how to use the microphone. It would be nice if the button was labeled. Even after figuring it out, it seems like it doesn't work if you have pressed certain button combinations prior to trying the microphone. To even project the voice the microphone practically has to be in my kid's mouth.
The volume on these is LOUD. A volume control would be nice. I feel like I'm going to go deaf being in the same room. I plan to tape of the speaker holes for a slight mute.
These are heavy. My son would rather put the helmet on his bed and use the controllers to activate the lights and sound. When he does wear it on his head, the adjustments are not suitable to stabilize on a small child's head.
Of the two versions, the police helmet seems to be the most enjoyable and easy to interact with. The lights and sounds scenarios on the police helmet are more interactive. The race car helmet seems to start over every 30 seconds and just does the same thing. Maybe there is more to it, but I don't have instructions.
If your kid has any imagination they will probably enjoy this a little. As the purchaser, I am disappointed in how it was advertised and how it performs.
Despite my disappointments, I would still recommend the police helmet. I would NOT recommend the race car helmet.
