Rubies Child’s The Original Inflatable Dinosaur Costume, T-Rex, Small

We ordered these for a t.rex run (that’a going to happen in a month or so). Did not expect much; however, had a great time trying these out and scaring the neighbors a bit. Takes 4 aa batteries; we had them on for about half an hour, and the fan was still blowing strong. After reading other reviews, i was afraid that the zipper would not hold; newerless, it worked fine and is attached securely. We walked around to see how it moves and scare the cats, hence the ‘family picture’ i am 5’2′ therefore i waw afraid it would be too tall for me – not a problem at all, i can see everything clearly. Overall seems sturdy and, i believe, will serve it’s purpose with flying colours.

Got it for a 5 year old and it inflated super quickly and was so cute but he was a tad to tall for the hood to be comfortable and be aligned with the neck so he just stuck his head out (like a goiter) and ran around in it anyways. It is such a cute costume that everyone watches the tail sway as he walks and the little trex arms flailing. Waaaay cute. Maybe i’ll be able to adjust the hood to fit better but no rush-if has been 90+ degrees here every day and cooler weather will make everyone happy. Buy this guy-it came next day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hola, el disfraz llego antes de la fecha de entrega y llego perfecto tal cual como se ve en la imagen esta super cool . Mi hijo esta muy feliz, ahora esperar la noche de halloween va a ser una espera muy larga para él. Muchas gracias

7 year old loves it

Excelente disfraz para hallowen

My son wears this thing everyday

The batteries need to be replaced at least every hour. So just get a big ol’ pack of aa batteries (i bought a 48 pack on amazon for about $13). My sweet son is super destructive and, for as much as he loves this costume, does not go out of his way to be gentle with it. This costume withstood him all day halloween and all day at school the friday before. I’m totally impressed with the quality of the costume. Frankly, i bought it expecting it to not make it through trick-or-treating because he’s so careless (adhd moms holla). He’s still running around in it 🙂 will buy again when needed – it is so entertaining.
Ps – venom and pink elsa are his siblings. Anyone else just love watching their kids run around like mini-adults on halloween?

Got this as halloween costume for my daughter and she was the envy of everyone at halloween time! Such cute idea for costume and had lots of laughs from it! Worth every penny!!!

Bought this for my 12 year old son who is about 5 ft. He wore it for halloween, but he’s worn them to his grandfather’s house, and his cousins house, too. Everyone loved it and had some good laughs, from 2 years old to 84! Quality is great, fit is good, and we never had to change batteries yet! We can continue to use this in the family for years for sure.

I got this for nephew to wear for his 5th bday party. He absolutely loved it!! Only thing is the hole/hood for his head didn’t have enough stretch so we just led him around since he couldn’t see!!!!

This costume is a bit tricky to learn to get into, and not stretchy at all (so watch the measurements and make sure your kid will fit into it), but the fan works great (4 aa batteries needed) and it inflates quickly and easily and once he figured out how to get into it, my son now puts it on himself. He got this for halloween but now loves it so much he randomly wears it around the house. It’s pretty big once inflated, so watch those vases and chandeliers. It inflates a good foot above their head (or more) and the tail is like having a large dog in the house. Have fun!

Would have been great, however, the screw piece that holds the inflatable fan together was missing and ended up having to buy a replacement.

We bought it for just under 31 bucks on here so great value compared to other places. Dino loving 4 year old was ecstatic since these were sold out last halloween. This fit kiddo nicely but the neck loop was snug so i can see this bothering some kids. Also am sure folks know already but this was our first time buying an inflatable costume and we didn’t realize the fan needs to stay on the whole time the costume is worn (otherwise it immediately starts to deflate). The circular fan component is attached to the costume, and there’s a battery pack with a belt clip and switch attached to the fan with thin black cords. So the idea is after putting it all on, clip the battery pack to child’s pants and turn it on then finish zipping up. The constant low humming sound might bother some kids. I would recommend keeping the packaging and also giving your child a few days to try out, get comfortable and used to this costume…ie don’t order just in time for trick or treating bc kiddo might end up not wanting to wear it. In our case kiddo was over the moon to see it, took it off after 5 mins bc didn’t like having the battery pack inside or the sound of the fan…after a while did put it on again. Also this may be no big deal to others but will admit am a bit paranoid about constantly having a running battery pack clipped to his pants…but am a) taking comfort in the good reviews ie no leaks or mini explosions and b) he seemed to prefer to stick it out the sleeve and hold it though that meant not being able to wear one of the gloves. If that doesn’t work i might duct tape it to the interior of the costume so it’s not directly on his skin.

The costume itself gets 5 stars, but deducting 1 for fit issues. We bought this in the children’s size for my 4 year old and once we made some changes got it fit and working, it’s absolutely amazing and hysterical. A warning though, the neck hole for the peek though is extremely small. Product is listed as fitting children size 7. My 4 year old is tall for his age, but nowhere near the size of a 7 year old. Despite our best efforts (and a lot of screaming from my kid that we were ripping his ears off) we could not get the hood on him. I finally took a pair of scissors to the seam in the front and we were able to get it over his head without compromising the air tight seal that keeps the costume inflated because there is a toggle pull in the front. Once on, we had another issue with the elastic around the face being so tight that it completely obscured his vision. A funny visual to see my over-inflated dino-child ricocheting off walls, crashing into furniture and bulldozing over my dogs. Another snip with scissors allowed him to see, but air seal suffered and the costume started to deflate. I gathered the hood and secured it under his chin with a safety pin and it looks like the problem is fixed. We may use some fashion tape around his face on halloween to make sure it stays inflated. All in all, the costume is great, but definitely incorrect for sizing and a little bit of effort to trouble shoot. If you have the patience to fix it, you won’t be disappointed. But i would not recommend buying this costume for any child over the age of 4-5.

We had a very anxious toddler expecting a dinosaur costume and he wasn’t let down. This was incredibly cute. The fan lasted all night plus a few days prior when he just wanted to play. He went up and down porches, in and out families homes, in and out of the car and lots of street walking, no tears or issuee with the tail dragging the whole time. My only complaint is the hole the head goes in, we had one hell of a time getting it to stay on his head. It just kept slipping forward on his hair every time we turned the fan on and you can only tighten it so much before it’s just too tight for comfort. We tried hair spray to give his hair some texture and hair clips, no go. Finally tried a hat and that worked good, it only slid down a couple of times throughout the night.
Kiddo is four and 42 inches tall. Costume fit great and there’s still room for growth.
We got a lot of comments and laughs from everyone we passed. Some people even asked to take photos. Also, if you need a good laugh, just throw this on your kid and tell them to run across the yard. No matter how long we walked halloween night, it was always hilarious to watch him waddle run to the next house.

I bought 2 of these for my 8 year old twin boys who are in the 90% for height and weight – even after i read the reviews about fit and i knew it would be too small. I have to say that yes, the costume is too small. But with a few snips based on reviewer comments, my boys were still able to wear it and terrorize the town. We also saw another smaller kid wearing it exactly like the pictures show. So if it is the right size for your kid, then the kids face will fit in the costume like the picture. If your kid is too big, then you have to snip the elastic and plastic around the drawstring to fit it over your kids head and wear the elastic like a cap (so your kids head actually will stick out). The seal won’t be as good, but you can work with the drawstring and tape or safety pins (we just used the drawstring and it was fine). Regardless, my boys loved this costume and have worn it several times and do a lot of roughhousing and the costumes hold up so well. They are hilarious in them and i love this purchase even though it didn’t fit well. We have gotten so many compliments too. The purchase was totally worth it for me, even though they were too big for the costume.

It’s a cute costume but i’ll say it was smaller than we thought it would be. My thin 10 year old of average height for his age barely squeezed into it

Broke almost immediately. Had to duct tape it back together where the zipper came lose from the costume resulting in a 10 inch hole. The fan is also very underpowered. It’s barely enough to keep the costume inflated.

2020 halloween costume for small 9 yr old girl. She is 49.75”, 56lb and was probably at the max end of it fitting for height.
The neck/head hole pull thing was the only part that malfunction due to the string unraveling a snot ring able to tighten it. She did get to wear it to school but then it unwound halloween ad she was putting it on. Batteries lasted through a school day but then needed replacing.
Not sure if it was because of sizing but she couldn’t walk normal. Steps were small.
Worked well for a ut night. She could wear a thick coat and you couldn’t tell. It’s also hard for her to hear and loud to listen to the rubbing noise.

Very cute. Fit him perfectly, however, we got the small & my son just fit into it. It runs on smaller side!
