The Playchute Parachute is lots of fun - kids of all ages have enjoyed playing with it. Can even be used for "picnics" in the yard!

We bought this for my 2 year old's "ball" themed birthday party. He loves the parachute at his gymnastics class so I hoped he would enjoy this too. The kids had a great time as we bounced balls on it and they ran underneath. After the party, we bungeed one of the loops to a stationary object so we could play with fewer people. but you need at least 4 people to really make it work. The bag to store it in was a nice surprise. Overall, I think this is a great toy for a group. I look forward to taking it to the beach this summer and for my son to discover new ways to play with it as he grows.

My boys enjoy using this for all sorts of things. They especially like to drape it over chairs and make a huge tent in the house to play in...it is also useful for birthday party games!

I bought this parachute for my sons 1st birthday! We did an airplane theme and it seemed appropriate. I am a former teacher and i know how much enjoyment my students got out of playing with the parachute at school. I have a 3 1/2 year old son as well and they both LOVE the parachute. Anything from crawling on the top to hiding underneath it. When it is just the four of us its hard to create the mushroom effect however if we all get under it, my husband and i hold it up with our heads and the kids can crawl around underneath it. When we are around family with all our nieces and nephews this is a must have! We put balls on top and play games like cat and mouse, etc. If you can't tell from what i have written i am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it. The only thing that i would have preferred was to be able to select my own colors for the parachute, we recieved the neon colors and i probaly would have selected the primary....however no one seems bothered by the colors.

This is a very versatile item. In addition to being used for play, it can be used for a picnic blanket. It is also lightweight and easy to pack. At least 4 larger kids or adults are needed to be able to "billow" it fully.

My 2 1/2 year old daughter had belly-laughing fun with this item. We involved a teen-aged neighbor and a very curious kitty in our fun. This is a reasonably priced and easy to store toy that teaches, as well as entertains. It also requires many to get involved, which evokes family/friend time. I highly recommended it.

Kids Love It
Posted 6/12/2007 by Jennifer L. Abrell

I love this product! I had been shopping for a play parachute after my daughter and her best friend fell in love with parachute play at tumbling class. Then, I was put in charge of games for our church VBS. When I pulled out the parachute, the kids went crazy! I was worried about tearing as we were playing outdoors on pavement. However, even with rambunctious kids dragging each other around on it, not one rip. I almost bought the smallest size but am glad I did not. Although mine has handles for 12 kids, it is almost too small for that many to fit underneath. There is no way a smaller product would work for more than 4-5 average size children. Other positives include the bright colors and the nice storage bag. I would say this is a very good product for its price.

Excellent! We purchased the 10 foot parachute. It is the perfect size. We were able to use it inside in our family room. We used it at my daughters 5th Princess birthday party and it was definitely the favorite party game! We pretended to bounce the mean dragon's eggs off the parachute (balloons) and then we all ran underneath to "hide in the castle." The squeals of delight were loud! We can't wait to try using it to make forts. It seems very sturdy and able to withstand a lot of use!

My husband and I bought the Playchute Parachute for my 9 month old son for Christmas. When our order came we were very happy with the quality of the product. The colors are bright and it comes in a great carrying bag. Christmas was yesterday and we have used it a couple of times and each time he sits under it and laughs so hard. There is also a great mesh hole in the top where we could see his little face smiling as the parachute hit his hands. We are very happy that we purchased this product and we will be ordering more items from Fat Brain in the years to come!

Best. Gift. Ever.

I bought this for my 2 year old daughter for her birthday. When it arrived we opened it up and took it out to the backyard. She was amazed, would not stop laughing, and had fun running from one side to the other as we would lift it and let it fall. She also tried to lift it to let it float in the air along with mom & dad, but the handles were a bit far apart, and it was just the 3 of us the day we first used it. We're going on vacation with family soon, and there will be many toddlers and babies there. I can't wait to break this out with the group!

My family brought this product as a gift for one of our neighbor’s kids for her two year old birthday party.  We picked this item because our neighbor’s kid is a very active child and loves being outside.  I have recently talked to my neighbor and she says that her daughter loves the play chute parachute. The parachute was a hit for this two year girl, in fact my neighbor stated that her daughter got a hockey stick from her cousins and played with it for about two minutes and then went back to playing with the parachute

All of my 4 grandchildren had played with a similar item in preschool and just loved having one of their own to use. All four of them 10- 2 shared and had a good time together. They recalled old uses and made up their own new activities.

This product opened up my kids' imaginations and it also promoted exercise. It kept them busy for hours and they love it! The parachute is brightly colored and made well. My son has down syndrome and it really helps him with coordination and motor skills. He loves the colors and he has learned what they are through playing with this toy. He also was able to match and count using this toy.

We purchased this product for our daughters Montessori School - they are creating an indoor play area for the kids. The kids love the parachute - it's definitely more for the pre-school kids that are a bit older. It has so many uses and it really allows them to use their imaginations to come up with different games and tactics not to mention it's a fun physical outlet for them as well.

It is very sturdy. It can be used in so many ways as advertized. It is as good as children use in the elementary school setting, except on a smaller scale. It encourages cooperation and moving as a unit by those using the product.

We love to encourage creative play with our daughter. While at a friend's house we used a play parachute for the first time, and she loved it. We had a wonderful time playing with it as a family, and when friends came to visit with their children. Kids from 1 year to 4 years old all had a wonderful time (as did the adults)! There are so many ways to play with the parachute. It was wonderful to watch the children!

My daughter loved being under one at playgroup. She loves it at home too. We take it outside and use it on the grass. Some kids at playgroup did not like being under a chute. Try someone's out before you buy.

This parachute is very well made. Large enough for several people without being crowded. Suggestions for several games are included, although some games are ridiculous. Our kids love the parachute. I'm sure it'll be a playground favorite once the weather warms up!

I got this for my 1 year old twins, who love it. My husband and I will raise and lower it over their heads, making them scream with laughter. It's also good to make tents. Very good to foster creativity and active play.

All products were great, and I loved the shipment process. It's been around 3 months and the toys get a rough play, but they are all still in good shape and the kids still enjoy them.
