Toys and Games Reviews of Pacific Play Tents Playchute 10' Parachute (Colors and Designs May Vary)
Customer Review: Fun, but smaller than I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
My two year old son fell in love with parachutes during his Gymboree play classes. After just a few weeks, I decided that I needed one for home so we could continue the fun there and invite the neighborhood children to join in.
All kids love parachutes and there is so much you can do with them. He loves being dragged around the house in it, hiding under it, using it to send one of his teddy bears flying through the air and making it go up and down with the other kids.
The only reason that this product receives three stars is that it was smaller than I expected. The product dimensions are clearly stated but I had difficulty transferring those dimensions into how it would work. It is difficult for the kids to run under the parachute because it is so small.
Very good for the price but I will need to buy a larger one.
Customer Review: Fine Toy
Summary: 3 Stars
This review is about this parachute compared to other parachutes. It is not a review about whether or not parachutes are fun. Of course they are. On the positive side, this parachute is cheaper than others. Unfortunately, however, I thought I was ordering a parachute with pink in it (see photo), but received a parachute with dark purple, instead. It's not a very attractive parachute. Also, I thought I was ordering something that would hold a lot of air and be fluffy. It is not. It's heavy. Finally, I thought I was ordering something that a child could sit in and be lifted by adults (like in the gymboree). The directions clearly state you can NOT do this with this product. I'm sure kids can have fun with this, but the limitations break my heart. I was so looking forward to this toy.Customer Review: My kids love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This parachute is a lot of fun! Kids come up with all kinds of uses for it, but our favorite game is to put the baby underneath the parachute in the middle and just pull it up and down. He gets a kick out of it and the older kids love to see his reaction.
This one is bigger than I thought it would be, which is a good thing, but unfortunately we actually don't have enough people to play with it when my husband is not home. If each person holds onto 2 handles it can fit about 5-6 people around. But if you have only 3 people to play with, while it still works, it's more fun with more people. But I guess that's the way all games/toys should be!
Definitely recommend this for outdoor (or indoor with a lot of room) activities with lots of kids!
Customer Review: Great Fun for a bunch of kids (and adults...)
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this playchute for my playgroup. The kids LOVE it!!! While adults work the playchute the kids run underneath and out and have a blast. When the kids make waves with it to keep a plushtoy bouncing on it, they learn to work together as a team. It promotes gross motor skills and coordination. My daughter loves this playchute when I hang it from the ceiling over her little tykes climber and create her own little "house". This is a very durable item for a great price. In our playgroup there are only toddlers. When they get older they can play actual games with the playchute. (There are a lot of books with playchute games available.) We will have fun for years to come. The kids don't seem to get bored with this ever!!!! 5 stars....definetely.Customer Review: great toy

We bought this parachute for my 6yr old son and twin 2yr old daughters. On the weekends they have a lot of their friends over to play. It is hard to find something that everyone can play with together when there are five or six kids. It is one thing that they can all play with and is great for both ages. This toy teaches kids to work together as a team. I agree that you can not fit many kids under it at once, but that has also helped me teach them about taking turns. When they play with it outside they usually put beach balls on it, and when they use it in the basement they use pillows or stuffed animals. This toy is great for all ages. There are so many games to play with it. I don't think my kids could ever get bored with this toy.
