"Good short range boosters."
"Got these rockets to go with a bulk pack of Firestreak (which, FYI, are not good rockets). Great little engines, Included extra igniters (only had 2 duds). Plenty of recover wadding. Engines were not too powerful and didn't launch the rockets too high which was nice because then they didn't get stuck in trees and the kids were able to keep their rockets."
"I bought a kit that included everything needed to use the rockets several times."
"This pack provides everything you need for a successful launch (minus the rockets of course!)."
"The packaging was minimal."
"This is a great bargain for the price."

"we ended up losing it in a tree somewhere for over 2 weeks waiting for some wind and rain to knock it down since we had No idea where it had for sure gone!"
"very simple design, a minute to assemble and just add water and an air pump."
"Do yourself a favor and go to your local Home store plumbing section."
"They have played with it over and over, and even got the neighbor kids excited about it."
"All of the kids enjoyed trying to make the rocket go the highest in the air."
"Kids enjoyed."
"He is able to fill, plug and pump the rocket on his own, using a standing bicycle pump. The kit came with several pump adapters, which I wish had been clear in the listing, since I had also ordered a presta adapter as other reviews indicated it was required."

Watch the rocket fly up, up, up (it is really amazing how far up these things can go, even when a small child is doing the jumping."
"It is a little difficult to slide the stand together because of a plastic part that sticks out, but it can be done and gets easier, somewhat, each time you do it."
"You stick the foam rocket on the plastic pipe that is attached to a short plastic hose. At the end of the hose is a "pillow" like object that you stomp on to send he rocket shooting into the air."
"With 4 rockets in the package, there was plenty of time for kids to retrieved launched rockets and get them back to the launcher before they were needed for the next kid's turn. It is easy enough to use that my 2 year old can launch a rocket reasonably high with no help, and fun enough that my husband and I were fighting off the neighborhood 'big kids' so that we could have a turn too."
"Even so, the quality is so mediocre you should probably think of this as a semi-disposable toy, not something your child will use for years. *This isn't the fault of the manufacturer, of course, but it is very, very, very easy to lose the rockets, even if you're doing it in a relatively open space. The bottom line: Even though the quality is not great and it's easy to lose the rockets, I still think this toy is worth it."
"The newly turned two year has enough stomp power to shoot the rocket off after a couple of tries."
