I absolutely love summer, but this year our summer season has been a little rough. If it wasn't raining, then it was incredibly hot...almost too hot to even enjoy being outside. Thankfully, the end of August and September have been much nicer. For the most part we've had absolutely perfect weather in the 70's. I sure wish it would stay this way year-round! The kids and I have been enjoying a lot of time outdoors, and even when it gets hot out still...we have a great way to keep cool thanks to Aeromax!
Founded 13 years ago, Aeromax began when President Mark Levine created one product...the Aeromax 2000 Tangle Free Toy parachute. Over the years, the product line has continued to grow, now offering more than 300 (and counting) items.
The first time I came across Aeromax, I was very impressed! Having two little ones, their great range of dress-up clothes especially caught my attention right away. Each time I visit their site, I find new things I know my kids would love. For instance, this is the time of year that the Aeromax Fire Power water shooter comes in very handy. Named Toy of the Year in outdoor Play by Creative Child Toy Awards...the Fire Power is a firefighter inspired backpack that can shoot water up to 30 feet! Talk about fun for all ages! I couldn't have been happier to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review one.
When the Fire Power super soaking fire hose with back pack arrived, we couldn't wait to try it out. The kids were really excited too...especially since it allowed them to soak each other outside. :)
As I pulled the contents of the box out, I was happy to see that there was very little assembly. Once I connected the hose (which took seconds), it was ready to use!
The back pack is smaller than I expected which is great. It's the perfect size for kids like Kaelyn, and the fact that the straps are adjustable make it even better!
To fill, there's a small yellow cap that can be removed to put water inside. Once the tank was full, Kaelyn was ready to start fighting fires.
She put on her back pack, grabbed the fire hose and went outside. By simply pumping the hose, the water shoots out. There are 2 super spray settings (single spray or spray) which make it more versatile and fun too. Kaelyn has had the opportunity to use the Fire Power many times and the fun never ceases. She enjoys using it for everything from soaking her brother, to watering the grass and pretending she's putting out fires. I love how it sparks creativity and imagination...it's exactly the type of toy we look for when shopping for our kids. I was amazed how light it is for her to carry, even with water in it. I also was happy with how much water it holds. It can hold up to 60 pumps which has proven to last a long time for lots of outdoor fun!
I have been really impressed with the Fire Power and would recommend it to anyone with younger children.
Buy It: You can purchase the Fire Power for $12.95 and it's recommend for ages 5+.
Win It: One very lucky reader is going to win a Fire Power Super Soaking Fire Hose with Back Pack of their own!
