Rubies Adult The Original Inflatable Dinosaur Costume, Triceratops, Standard for Themed Parties and Halloween

Fun ! and tough ! Had kids jumping and pulling on the costume for two hours. Still going strong !

This costume is massive and I loved that about it. I hardly fit through a doorway when in it and had a really hard time turning around in small spaces. Sitting while inflated was difficult to impossible so be prepared to stand. You need assistance getting it zipped but all the inflatable costumes do, the fans worked well and the batteries really seemed to last a long time. The back end of the costume has so much personality when you walk that people assumed more than one person was inside controlling it. I'm 5'4 and I can't imagine anyone shorter being able to wear it successfully, I feel ideal height for the person inside would probably be about 5'8. Overall this costume didn't disappoint. I wore it on a high school campus and trick or treating with my toddlers (I needed an attendant for my kids because visibility was really difficult as there are MANY blind spots). I had the best time in this costume!!!

First the pros:1.) This costume is EPIC! As realistic as I imagine an inflatable dinosaur could be. The size and quality really make an impact.2.) Everyone who saw me in this during my two trial runs LOVED it and rushed to take pictures. They cracked up watching me lumber around in it.3.) Small children were awed by it, but not afraid.The Cons:1.) It's BIG. Like, big Big BIG!2.) I had to hold the head in place under the neck so that I could kind of keep the viewing window in a decent spot; when I walked the head wanted to blow backward a bit which made for a great dinosaur-like motion but left me blind.3.) I had NO peripheral vision or any way to see where I was walking. "Okay, I know there's a curb up ahead, but I can't see down when my feet get to it. Am I there yet? How about now?" My kids had to direct me as I moved around outside for a nighttime trial run.I ended up returning the triceratops for safety reasons. I wasn't confident of my ability to shepherd the kids around trick or treating when I couldn't see where I was going. However, if you need this for an office party (in a LARGE location with an open layout) or a kids birthday party outside, this would definitely amuse and impress. I kind of hated to send it back because it was so cool.

I got this for our business to wear during parades and promotions and it was AMAZING! I am 5'9 and there was more than enough room in this for me.First the cons: it takes awhile to inflate, the head wants to look up so I spent the whole parade holding the bottom of the head down so I could see, you can only see right in front of so you need a guide or someone telling you if there is a hole or curb.Now onto the pros: it is very spacious and airflow was great especially in the sun walking down Main street in July. It is easy to move in and turn, I ran all over the parade and bent down to let the kids pet the nose, everything moves well and held up great. Everyone loved seeing a triceratops since the trex is always what people see. It is cute and didn't scare the kids.I am very happy with this purchase and can not wait till I get to wear it again.

So it was VERY windy when this pic was taken, so it looks a bit wrinkly. I wore it to cheer on a marathon in December in Maine. It was about 20 F and, as said, very windy. The suit kept me pretty warm (I was wearing a coat). I'm 5'0" and I was able to see fairly well out of the window, just know your visibility is severely limited. A little kid kept getting near me and I had to look for the color of her coat through the dino fabric so I didn't smack her. The hand holes are easy to use, but if you don't want your hands showing, I just stuck my hands over the holes and it worked well. Will get REALLY HOT if used in a summer parade, but people LOVE it and it was so much fun!

It takes awhile to get in and out of this costume, but it is totally worth it! T-rex is everywhere, triceratops is where its at. Does require 8 AA batteries to power the fans and you will need a small screwdriver to get into the battery packs.

I love this costume it’s awesome and very massive. It has a head band that wraps around your head so the Dino head stays in place instead of drooping. I sweat very easily so for me it was pretty hot in there. It has two fans on each side so it takes 8AA battery’s And the battery packs go hooked onto your pants. It never died on me and I was out in this costume for over an hour. The reason I gave it one less star was because the back feet on the Dino wouldn’t stay blown up and just looked like they were dragging behind me

I'll start by saying this is a very large costume, so unless you are in a large open space or outside it may not be the costume for you. However, I bought it for Halloween this year and everyone wanted a picture with me. Cars stopped to look, people stopped to say how cool it was. Kids loved it. It is the best costume I have ever bought, totally worth it. It's not the easiest to move around in, but its worth it in my opinion.
