Rubies Inflatable Dinosaur Costume For Adults, For Themed Party and Halloween

So I bought three of these because when you're in lockdown, why the heck not? Seriously, convincing my two kids (10 and 12) to join me in inflatable dinosaur costumes took a bit of effort. "Mom, it's not even CLOSE to Halloween yet!" However, once they were in the suits, they completely embraced their inner T-Rexes!These are so easy to put on, zip up, and inflate. I was concerned that my smaller 10-year-old son would have trouble seeing out of it, but he reported that he could see just fine. There is clear vinyl just under the throat as well as under the chin for taller individuals. We all had the BEST time walking around the neighborhood in these! Even the neighbors and their kids came outside to see us. We made lots of people laugh who drove by.I had a difficult time moving around in my costume, but it was only because I was laughing so hard at watching my two dino-kids run down the street ahead of me. Our afternoon as a T-Rex family was one of the best days we've had in a long time.EDIT: It's very easy to install a second fan into these! Buy another fan, cut a hole into the opposite hip area of the Rex, duct tape the fabric to the edge of the fan (this reinforces the fabric and and secures the fan from the inside), and attach the linkage ring from the outside. Fire it up along with the original fan, and you've got a super inflated T-Rex for hours- no more floppy dinosaur! Took me less than 10 minutes to make this modification. Do it and you won't regret it!

I am 5'11" so the standard size was listed as 5'11". It did fit but..... Put your feet in first (no shoes) and slide the costume legs up past your knees first. With your feet in now put your shoes back on. Then scrunch down and put your arms in and pull the head up, turn on the fan and clip it to your belt, and zip up. Then you can slide the costume legs back down to your ankles.It takes a minute or so for the fan to inflate the costume. The box that holds the batteries (4 AA) needs a tiny phillips head screw driver. I would recommend that you carry that and some extra batteries. The battery box has a clip that I used to attach to my belt.

I bought this for pure unadulterated fun. I'm a 54 year old woman and have wanted one of these for a couple of years. I have worn it for several occasions and it was a blast. My sisters loved mine so much, they bought one too. Mine has a growling module in the palm of one of the gloves which was great. The kids love this and the laughter is pure golden. When you wear it, the legs really start at your own knees and the head extends about 2 feet above your own. Vision is clear through the screen in the neck and movement is easy. Remember, you're a mighty meat eating thundering T-Rex in this costume, but you also have the arms of a T-Rex, so don't expect to have a wide range of motion. You will love this costume and have a blast. I was NOT hot even though I wore this in the summer time. One thought - use good batteries because the fan HAS to keep this inflated for you to have success. Your costume will also NOT stay inflated if you don't have your arms in the sleeves and elastic around your wrists/arms so that air doesn't escape. I'm sure this can be punctured but I was on the street, in the grass and even climbed a tree without damage. The neighbors love this too. Who doesn't love a T-Rex?

My son loved his Halloween costume!! It was also easy for me to keep track of my son since the costume is so tall. It has 2 windows to look through, so accommodates both kids and adults. My son did not complain being hot in the costume.The only downside is the batteries. First, they don't last long. I had Duracell and had to change them twice during trick-or-treating. Also, the used batteries were so hot I couldn't hold them in my hands, which made me question the safety of the battery pack.

We bought four inflatable Dino suits to wear for Halloween. I bought them from four different sellers, so they were all very slightly different. This was the most expensive suit by far. We were excited about the sound box. But it was the lowest quality and the only suit to stop inflating at all after one hour.When we tried the suits on for the first time, the sound box worked, though it was not very loud, and I was impressed that it came with a storage bag and patches, unlike the other suits. It was smaller than the others, but we weren’t too worried, we had a person who was also smaller than the others and could wear it. There were some loose threads at the seams, but we trimmed those off. They were inside, so again, we weren’t worried. Yet. We should have been.The next night was Halloween night. We found that the sound box stopped working unless we shook the bejeebus out of it, then it would make sound but it cut in and out.The seams around the zipper started coming unraveled, I pinched the seams closed as we danced along the street dinging the Jurassic Park theme song. I had to hold some of the seams closed. Eventually, we went back to the car to get the patches it came with and that helped but I only had two and multiple seams were unraveling.The other three suits had battery packs that could be detached and we could use the usb plug with a rechargeable battery pack of our own. This one did not. In the end, we used AA batteries in all four suits, and all but this one stayed inflated for the full time we wore them through the neighborhood, about one hour. This fan in this suit was not as powerful as the others, even when we stood perfectly still. Note for future t-Rexes: moving around in the suits will make them deflate very slightly. The more you do at once- waving arms, hopping up and down, or hugging small children so parents can take pictures- the more air you lose. In our other suits, we could run full speed into a gaggle of grade school aged kids and make the run screaming in every direction and it barely made a change in their inflation rate. This suit could barely tiptoe up behind a toddler and yell ”Rar!” Without having to stand still for 45-60 seconds to reinflate.We mostly felt like puppeteers running around in the suits. The addition of giant googly eyes really paid off on this suit as the head flopped around due to the weak fan and everyone could clearly see its face. (Not by design, but it worked). The other suits seemed to be howling their displeasure at the sky all night.After one hour, we could not keep the head up on this suit no matter what we did, so we gave up and went home. Next year, we will buy another suit from one of the other manufacturers to make sure we can all rampage together. My teenagers said this was the most fun they’ve ever had at Halloween and cannot wait for next year.I am attaching two photos to this review. One is a rear view of the suits. You can clearly see that this suit did not fully inflate like the others. And another photo showing me having to hold the seams together as soon as we put the suits on. This was after several minutes of inflation while we stood still.
