My wife picked this up for about $58. The vest is made out of the flimsiest, cheapest material ever. Since it has "Diego" on it, I expect that I'm going to get charged more than the item is worth, but this is really outrageous. For the price, they ought to at least make some kind of an effort. How about making it out of canvas or something? This vest is on par with those cheap halloween costumes you can pick up at the last minute at the drugstore. The accessories it comes with are equally cheap. If I'd paid 1/5 the price, I'd still feel like I paid too much, but I'd say to myself, "its a throwaway item, what the hell."

We used this for my son's 2nd halloween costume. We added a blue shirt and navy pants. My son liked it. I didn't like how the vest fit in the front. I added two strips of velcro so he could close it up. It worked much better that way. He still uses it for dress up which is a better bang for its buck than a halloween costume he won't wear again.

I purchased 2 of these items for my 3 year old Grandson for his 3rd birthday. He loved them so much, he had to put it right on and run around Chucky Cheese talking to Diego on the phone that came in the kit. He also wants to wear it for Halloween. The purpose of buying 2 was so he could have one at home and one at MeMe & PawPaws. For us it was money well spent just for the look on his face when he is playing with it.

The vest is a bit flimsy, but the toys are fun and my 3 1/2 year old loves playing dress-up with it. I used some sticky back velcro to help the toys stay on the vest and to help the vest stay closed in front. It was great as his Haloween costume.

First off, yes, the vest runs small. Second, because it is the thinnest, cheapest nylon, with velcro on the sides (adjustable that way, I guess), it easily gets twisted and all the velcro is caught up with itself, and my son (4) needs help straightening it out. It is VERY difficult for a child to clip the tools on to the little loops, as well, so the vest has been tossed aside. The "canteen"? A TOTAL waste- it is a round piece of plastic. It doesn't open, so you can't even pack a bit of water for them. That got tossed aside. The cell-phone looking thing works alright- he plays with it occasionally, but the phrase repertoire is limited, so in retrospect, I bought this junk for the binoculars, which are cute, and easy to look through because it's actually one wide opening, and my son likes those, so if you want to pay for those, then have at it.
