3.0 out of 5 stars Not Great, April 5, 2005

I tried flying this kite the same day we flew a few others, including the Hot Pocket Parafoil Kite, and this kite just didn't fly well at all. I suspect the tail is too heavy for the kite, but didn't have anything to cut it down. It's also kind of small - if you did get it up to any height, it would be very tiny.

I suggest getting the Hot Pocket Parafoil for less than half the price. It's also a parafoil and comes in a handy bag for storage, but it flies amazingly well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could not get to fly in light wind, finicky in moderate wind, August 4, 2010

Although the kite is cute as heck, we found it impossible to fly in light wind, and it required a very determined adult to keep it in the air in moderate wind. The tail is too heavy for light and moderate wind, and adds only minimal stability. Of 3 new kites we used over the course of a long weekend, this one was the hardest to get and keep aloft. Not recommended.

My daughter really likes this kite because its spongebob. Couple things about the kite.
It takes pretty good wind to get it up and my daughter cant do it alone.
Not the greatest flying kite we own but it looks pretty neat when its up.
I probably wouldn't buy this one again for a younger kid, but for older kids it should be fun.
