Great toy, should come with more than one plane
My 6 and 2 year old loved the toy but once we lost the plane (is it on the roof?) the fun has stopped. Should come with a pack of 3 planes.

Great beginner airplane!
I purchased this airplane after reading reviews, for my son's 7th birthday. I had previously purchased several remote control helicopters, airplanes, and insects that NEVER FLEW and broke within seconds. I am happy to report that this toy lives up to the previous reviews! It is easy to work, sturdy, and the kids just loved it! My son was so happy to see it fly right out of the box and I had no hesitation to let him play with it all by himself with no fear of breakage! It is a great toy and I will probably buy the others so his friends can play with him at our house.

Fun Toy for my 6 Year old!
My 6 year old son likes all kinds of planes, paper planes and what not. So I bought him this one and so far so good. He says it's so much fun and plays with it all the time. He can do it all on his own, he doesn't need my help. I can see how it may be hard for a 3 year old, maybe even a 4 year old to operate on their own. I think it's a good toy for 4+ years, otherwise yes they can easily break it.

Fun Toy
My little boy loves all the Shake n' Go stuff. He liked this also, however, the package arrived making noise. The battery was pretty much already burned out by the time he got it. He got another airplane that had an off switch(so it didn't make noise in the package) and this one did not. My son is not quite 3 and had no problems working the toy. I hope this is helpful.

SO much fun for the kids! We LOVE this toy!
We bought this for our 3 yr old son about 9 months ago. It is tons of fun for him! The plane is foam so it has a couple tooth marks from his baby sister but it doesn't seem to affect function so thats good. Overall pretty durable. He took it to preschool for show and tell and it caused such an uproar with the kids that they had to end show and tell early - hehehe. We have given this toy as gifts to some of his friends and it has always been greeted with a ton of excitement! The base does require 3 AA batteries, however they last a long time. (that may be the problem w/the other reviewer's toy who said the base stopped working?). I have had to explain a couple times to each kid that has gotten the toy that if you want the lights and sounds to work you have to just snap the plane on the front (don't push it all the way back) and then shake, the toy does the rest as you shake it. If you push the plane past the first click then you have to push it all the way back yourself. Once the kids see how it works they have all been able to do it with no further instruction. Overall a wonderful toy and we highly recommend it!
