Discovered this parachute in a mommy & me class and ALL the babies loved it! Fun to use with light plastic ball pit balls.

I have used the parachute for several different activities and my students love using it.

Out of the bag, this looks really nice and colors are vibrant. It seems well sewn and looks mostly as expected (although one yellow section, as you may see in the photo above, had some weird, light, rust-colored stains on it).The fabric feels sturdy and slightly heavier and stiffer than tent fabric, but is very light weight. The handles are okay. I wish they would were wrapped with a piece of rubber tubing or something to make them easier and more pleasant to hold on to. You'll need two people (in my opinion) if you want to fold it neatly, but even by myself, I was able to fold it well enough to squeeze it back into the carrying bag.

I bought this for an upcoming visit with my young niece (9) and twin nephews (8); something our whole family could enjoy with my 13 month old son. I'll update this review after their visit in regard to how it went and how well the parachute held up.

UPDATE: I have received my replacement parachute. As you can see from the uploaded picture the stitching is definitely upgraded. I tugged on it quite forcefully several times and it didn't rip apart. Overall I'm very satisfied with the replacement item and the customer service that I have experienced.

UPDATE: This seller has contacted me and is sending me a replacement. I have changed it to 3 stars becuase this is awsome customer service. I am very hopefull after our talk that my problems were manufacturing issue and will be resolved. It's rare to find such customer service and care about the customer after the sale.

First i want to say I do not recommend this product. What I got from them looked different then the one in the picture. The handles were not overlapped like that one and there was a mesh part in the middle. The kids were excited to play with it but that excitement lasted only about 4 minutes when the handles started to rip off. Two failed completely and upon inspection others were starting too. I am really disappointed in this product and don't recommend it.

The kids that were playing with it were 8 - 12 year old girls.

The colors looked great and it is very eye catching but the build quality is not there.

It does come with a storage bag to put it in.

I got the parachute because I thought it would be funny for me and my friends to play with and it was a hit. I brought it to work and when me and a couple of my coworkers were on break we played with it.
