Aeromax Jr. Fire Fighter Suit with Helmet, Size 4/6 - Tan

The retro channel just started re-running old episodes of Emergency! Needless to say, our 4 year old LOVES the firetrucks and the action and has been running around playing fireman ever since. I ordered this after reviewing all the fireman outfits on Amazon, and couldn't be happier- more to the point, neither could he.Details:The coat was sold as tan but is a bit more brown than you'd expect. However, the color is close to new turnouts, and I imagine will fade to more of a tan color with time. Still looks great as is.The reflective material does just that, and is well sewn on.It's fairly heavy material and will definitely keep a child warm! The stitching is well done, with reinforcing patches on knees/elbows- perfect for crawling!The zipper was solid, and the fasteners on the jacket more so- looks realistic and feels very durable.The suspenders are well made and easy to adjust. He wanted to leave the pants "ready to go" and we were able to have him roll out of bed and into his gear- well, not as fast as a fireman, but close.The cuffs are knitted on the feet and wrists, so no tripping or getting hands caught. Also, the wrist cuffs have a thumb loop so the child can keep the sleeve in place (I guess?)The fire helmet has an adjustable band inside which was loosely attached- more of a "meh" than a gripe. It's sturdy and sits on the head well enough.I gave it a high educational value, as there are plenty of features which can be explained and it looks just like the ones on TV so there's another teachable moment.This is well-made, warm, durable, and will provide plenty of adventures for years. Completely worth the price!

Ordered this for my 3 year old last week and even the amazing reviews didn't prepare me for this suit! It is simply amazing the attention to detail the put into making it. My son absolutely ADORES it. The construction seems to be very high quality, and repairing any problems that arise from normal wear and tear should be simple. I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase!Update 11/9/2010:My son wore this for Halloween and you would not believe the constant compliments we got on the suit. Several people said it was the best costume they saw all night, and there were even a couple of people who asked if they could take his picture! Everyone who has seen it has been extremely impressed with it. Best money I've spent in a long time!Update 11/8/2013:Suit still in excellent condition. He wore it again for Halloween in 2011 and 2012, and those years we added the KidTrax fire truck as an accessory, so he could drive from door to door. This year he chose to be a Ghostbuster this year, but, he says he intends on being a fireman again next year so he can drive his truck from door to door again.

I bought this for my nephews the other day for their birthday since they both think they are firefighters. The absolutely love the outfits and they made their imagination a little more realistic. The quality of the fabric is super durable, almost like canvas, but soft to the touch. The refletors are durable and make the outfits safe for the children to play outside. The helmet is hard plastic too, so it will not break easy with an adjustable strap to the smallest of heads. I read complaints about the buckles falling off and I think they addressed these isssues because they are riveted to the jacket. They are a little hard to take the buckles off with ease for someone with less nimble fingers. The only complaint I can confirm is the zipper is not the best. It was well sown into the jacket, but if you did not make sure it was super secured into the base, it will split when the zipper was pulled up (annoying, but not broken). Needless to say, these are kids toys and they will outgrow them, so they are super high quality for what they are. I give it a 9.75/10!

I was very impressed when I opened this package -- this suit is adorable! My son instantly fell in love with it and wanted to wear it immediately. The sizing seems a little big, but not too bad (I ordered the child's size 3 and it is slightly big for my child who normally wears 2T and 3T clothing). Even though it is a little big, he can still wear it just fine.The reason this suit only gets 4 stars, is that within 20 minutes of my son wearing this suit, one of the fasteners on the front of the jacket fell off. He wasn't being wild in it or anything, the fasteners just seem a little cheap. I didn't want to bother with returning the jacket, so I just glued it back on and hope it will stay. If I hadn't seen the fastener fall off, I would have HAD to return it.My advice: Buy the suit -- it is adorable! But before your child wears it, just check the fasteners and make sure they are all okay. :0)

Good buy. This was the 2nd firefighter suit we purchased. The 1st was sold by another company and we sent it back because it started falling apart after only a few wears. The Aeromax suit is definitely worth the extra couple of dollars. The material is very durable and machine washable. The hat is a hard plastic, not that flimsy stuff. My son comes home everyday from school and puts on his firefighter suit. We will get lots of use out of this costume and I'm confident that it will hold up long enough for little brother to use it too!UPDATE: Nov 2012. We've had this suit for almost 3 years now and it is still holding up amazingly well. I have washed it several times. My 6 year old can still fit in it (barely) and by the time he outgrows it, my 2 year old will be ready to wear it. This fire suit was worth every penny. Not just for Halloween, but for year round dress up, year after year.
