Ever since my daughter was small, she has loved to play dress up. She is much older now and loves to dress up even more! I now have three more children and my 2 boys are always trying to get in on the fun with her and dress up too. The problem has been that they never had any costumes to wear. Well, when I received an opportunity to review a costume recently, I opted to receive a costume for my boys for once. Hannah always gets the fun princess dresses so it was time to get a costume for my boys.
Costume Discounters is a company that provides hundreds of costumes for men, women and children for all occasions. Whether you are dressing up for a specific holiday or just for fun around the house, this company has you covered! I am pretty picky about costumes and was pleasantly surprised by the vast selection.
So, for this review I chose to receive the Fire Chief Costume from Costume Discounters. This costume comes complete with a jacket, helmet, badge, fire extinguisher, bullhorn with sound effects and name tag. I love how the jacket has reflective tape on it...totally makes it seem like a real fire chief's jacket! Both the bullhorn and fire extinguisher are designed to fasten to the jacket with Velcro, and this makes it easy for my little guys to keep their "tools" handy. The fire hat came with an adjustable band on the inside to adjust to fit your child's head securely. My boys didn't care for that and took the band out completely. It kept falling out anyway so they were better off without it.
Everything you see on the costume is detachable...the name tag is the only thing that my children haven't figured out how to get out yet. The fire extinguisher's top does come off and my boys filled it with water a few times, until they realized that it doesn't actually squirt water...which would have been cool. (Until my house started to get wet...).
