I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old and 1 1/2 year old to play with at the park. With a light wind, I can launch it with my hand - no need to play out lots of line, run, or anything -- just hold it over my head and let go. I have flown it up to the limit of the provided string -- I think it's about 300', but it's most fun to fly it lower where the kids can see it better. At really low altitudes it can drop quickly when the wind changes, but you can pull on the string or run to keep it up. If I fly it up to about 80' or more where it's more stable, my 2 1/2 year old can hold it. If I pull it in to about 10', I can run around the park with it flying just overhead, buzzing the toddlers with the tail. It doesn't handle violent wind and gusts well, but it's not intended for that. It's so easy it might get boring for someone capable of handling multi-string stunt kites, but for any Charlie Brown, this is the right kite. There are other kites that fly easily, but these Easy Flyers are also supposed to have lighter line pull, making it less likely to pull or jerk the string out of a child's hand. Still, for under 5 year olds I do most of the flying. Therefore I'm going to try some helium balloons on the kite string instead. I'm also keen to try a KongMing lantern. Our area is popular for hot air ballooning and maybe when the kids are older we could build an RC balloon. A kite like this can get a lot of things started. Enjoy.

This is a great, easy to fly kite. And beautiful too. It's easy to put together and fold up - you insert the cross bar to put it together, then remove it to fold it up. The cross bar is the only piece that is removable (that can be lost). Great first kite. Comes with string (don't know how much) and a handle device that you can wind the string around.

Highly recommended.

This kite is very easy to fly. My kids love it and can keep it in the air for hours if they choose. Very durable and colorful. A good buy.
