grandson’s like
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My two grandsons just like the costumes and book. They reckon they are fulltime firemen now and loved dressing in the costumes to tour a real fire station!
Cute and durable. Annoying bullhortn.
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
When you reckon bullhorn, don’t you reckon you should be able to talk through it and have your voice amplified? Melissa and Doug dropped the ball on this one. The bullhorn is a SIREN ! No voice amplifier, just a siren! To reckon that savvy parents by M&D products because of the educational value, durability, and realism. That’s not realism and it’s just plain annoying. My poor son has to use his only outside, which is no fun in the winter when he wants to dress up, but we can’t take it! The rest of the costume is perfect as expected. I left a message on M&D’s voicemail about the problem and my concerns. I did not receive a response.
Brilliant gift for the firefighter in your family!

This is a fantastic, authentic looking fireman’s uniform. For all the fans of local heros and “Fireman Sam” on TV this is a fantastic gift. It will be a perfect Halloween costume this year for my 3 year ancient grandchild as his birthday is on Halloween. Very well made as are all the other toys and games by this manufacturer.
Fun but weak

We like Melissa and Doug products, but this was disappointing. Our kids LIKE dressing up and playing make believe so educationally its fantastic. they wear the jacket and hat for days on end some times.
But, there were a number of negatives.
* The reflective bands around the sleeves and the body of the jacket came loose nearly immediately and started to fray pretty terribly. I have solved the problem by gluing the reflective material onto the jacket with a hot glue gun. It took a ton of time and glue to get the job done.
* You can really place water in the fire extinguisher. Ugh. They kept sneaking into bathroom, filling it up and spraying water everywhere. Right, you could say that I’m not supervising them well enough, but supervising a make believe session just seems like an oxymoron.
* One thing we’ve always loved about Melissa and Doug toys is that they aren’t electronic. The small bull-horn was pretty annoying. I fixed that too
Nearly a year after we bought this (and fixed it) the kids still like playing with the jacket and hat, but that’s because they’re kids, not because this is a high quality toy.
nice!

it’s a excellent toy and my sons likes it to pieces. recommended for all firefighter-obsessed kids.
Fun dress-up set for your future firefighters!

This was my son’s “Santa gift” and he has absolutely adored it. He wears it practically everyday so it was certainly a excellent buy. The coat has held up very well. The top to the “fire extinguisher” comes off too easily though and is constantly getting lost. I chose to forgo putting batteries in the bullhorn since we already have a plethora of toys that make noise. It hasn’t phased my son in the least, he plays with it just the same and pretends to talk through it.
