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!

My kids loved this until the base stopped working after a month. It was fun while it lasted.

MY 3 YEAR OLD SON LOVES PLANES. SO WHEN THIS CAME OUT WE JUST HAD TO HAVE IT. WE PURCHASED IT AT TOYS R US FOR 14.99. THE PLANE IS MADE OF CHEAP GLUED TOGETHER FOAM. MY SON COULD NOT GET THE HANG OF JUST PUTTING THE PLANE ON THE "HEAVY" BASE AND PULLING IT A LITTLE THEN LETTING THE SHAKING ACTION TAKE OVER THE REST. WITH-IN 1 HOUR THE PLANE WAS PULLED IN TWO PIECES AND THE TOY USELESS! I CALLED FISHER PRICE AND THEY MAILED ME ANOTHER CHEAP GREEN PLANE! IT BROKE WITHIN AN HOUR AND I RETURNED THE PIECE OF JUNK BACK TO THE STORE AND RECEIVED A REFUND. THE BASE IS VERY HEAVY AND WELL MADE. SOUNDS ARE NICE, THE ACTION A LITTLE SLOW. DOES NOT FLY HIGH, TAKES MORE TIME TO LOAD THAN WORTH IT. THIS IS NOT FOR A 3 YEAR OLD BUT MORE FOR A 5 YEAR OR OLD. THEY NEED TO REDESIGN THE PLANE.

I read a lot of bad reviews on this product, so I did not get it for my nephews for Christmas last year. However, my son received one as a gift, and we have loved it! I kept reading that the plane was not durable enough and tore easily, so I made sure to tell my sons to follow the instructions and handle it gently. My 3 year old has had no problems, and he is usually quite rough with toys. When we first opened it we made the mistake of pulling it all the way back, but it launched anyway after we shook it. It has honestly been one of the favorite toys that my children have gotten, and I do not have to assist them with it in any way. I just can't figure out why they are selling these for 30-50 dollars when they were under 20 last year. It's frustrating, because I was hoping to get them for all the nephews this year!

My nephews loved these things. They were so cheap i bought extra so in case they broke they would have backups. My sister said they were fairly durable though. good investment regardless because the kids had hours of fun with them.

I have a 4 year old son and 5 nephews ages 1 to 6. They all love this toy. The hardest part is getting them to understand that the shaking makes it works, but once they've got it, they love it! We've had this toy around for over a year and it is still in good shape.

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.

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.

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.

My three year old son got this from his Grandma for his birthday. This is a SUPER fun toy for little boys! Well, for everyone. The rest of the family all wanted turns with it. The nicest part about this toy is once the child has a little practice with it he's then got it down and can go around the house playing with it on his own. The one down side is that the plane gets pulled onto the gun so much that the place starts to fall apart. I'm looking for repacement planes without having to buy the gun again. Try to really teach your child not to pull the plane back, that shaking will do the trick, then your plane will last a lot longer.
