could be fun if it worked

The air does not travel well to the rocket ship and takes too much effort to fill balloon. Race car works fine but car does not shoot forward. Very disappointed! The clips are cheap and the release button only released half so the car doesn’t even shoot forward before the balloon deflates

Waste of Money-Unresponsive Toy Manufacturer-Disappointed

Bought 2 sets of these as Christmas presents for my grand kids. Looked like a fun toy. Unfortunately the pumps did not provide enough air to inflate the balloons - even when the adults did the pumping. Thought maybe the pumps were defective and I wrote to the manufacturer for replacements. They never responded to my email. Waste of money and disappointed kids. Avoid this toy manufacturer.

Dissapointing toy

Wheeled vehicle does not go very fast, "rocket" does not go very high. Not much force. The grandson's are not entertained, and choose to play with other toys. The nozzle prevents using any balloon, only ones that came with it will fit. I would not buy this toy again.

Complete Junk

I purchased 2 of these as they looked like they would be a blast for my 3 and 5 year old. I put them both together and both were broke…one out of the box and one after using it twice. The one out of the box would not blow up a balloon so I took the back off as it sounded like a hose may not have been connected and I found the cylinder housing cracked all the way down. Never blew up a balloon. The second one worked once, but when putting the rocket connector onto the pump, the fitting on the pump punched into the housing. Not sure what’s going on with it, but seems like something has broke inside of it after the first use. Cheap made and super disappointing.

Fun for our whole family

I recieved Balloon Zoom complimentary as part of a promotional campaign. This toy has been so much fun for my whole family! I love that there are no batteries or charging required. This set comes with the pump as well as several attachments, balloons, and stockers for decorating. My kids (5yo and 1yo) both love seeing how large they can inflate the balloons and how far they can launch the toys. This toy has also helped decrease our screen time over the last week since we recieved it. I have noticed that the gasket inside the pump sticks a bit if we are playing for a while but so far this has not affected the functionality. I highly recommend this toy for kids (and adults) of any age.

[Rewarded Review] So Much Fun!

I was so impressed by this toy! my son is 4 years old and it was super easy him to use. He did need my help to attach the balloon- but once it is attached you get quite a few rounds with it before it falls off or needs to be replaced. My son would load up his car, pump up the air and release his car. I was impressed to see that you had to option of the balloon car or to launch the rocket/astronaut. It was a very cute touch! we played with it for a long time and use it often. It is so much fun and I would recommend this to anybody who has young kids!

[Rewarded Review] GREAT FUN

My grandchildren really enjoyed playing with Balloon Zoom especially my 2 year old grandson. He loves pumping the air in and watching it take off. Belly laughs of fun!

[Rewarded Review] Great to play with a friend

After using this toy for a little while, I noticed it would be best played with an adult if a child 3 to 5 years old was playing with it. Someone would be needed to place the balloon correctly on the launcher, someone is also needed to hold down the base so that the other person can pump. The car is difficult to open, even for an adult. The launching pad is more easily used. My three-year-old wanted to press the “go“ button instead of the launching button. Once you get the hang of using it, making sure the attachment is lined up securely with the base, it is a fun toy.It is wise that the box says it is for three years old and up, because there are small pieces that would be a choking hazard. My kids had fun checking to see if the toy and its accessories really glowed in the dark. It does! I am not sure it would be easily used in the dark though. That would be a fun challenge for older kids. Overall, it is a fun toy, once you get the hang of it!

[Rewarded Review] Fun but flawed.

Great concept, but lacks excitement. Box did not come with Instructions. Luckily it was simple to figure out. The rocket/astronaut connects to the launch pad that then connects to the air pump as does the car. A balloon is attached to the rocket easily. With the car you have to open it and slide it thru the top (not so easy for a 3-5 year old.) The air pump is easy enough for the child to pump as the balloons do not pump up very much. Also the "go button" on the rocket launch pad gets stuck. Neither the car or the rocket go very far at all. Which was the biggest disappointment, as a parent this means if your child can't set it up by themselves you have to constantly reset the balloon every 5 seconds (that's about how long the whole thing lasts).

[Rewarded Review] My 4 year old loves it...

My son is obsessed with balloons so this was perfect for him. He plays with it almost everyday. It's fun watching the rocket and car zoom around. This makes a regular balloon better. My four year plays with it himself most of the time. He does have trouble pumping because the air wont stay in the balloon. You really have to pump as fast as possible to stop air leaking. It would be better if the lever was longer and put more air into the balloon with each pump.

[Rewarded Review] It’s so much fun

My kids really like this toy set. They play with it all day long. It’s very nice game, especially when the kids spend most of the time indoor nowadays.

[Rewarded Review] Fun STEM Activity

The concept is cool but I did notice some flaws. I had issues with the toy car releasing when the button was pressed. As long as everything else is lined up properly, I didn't have issue with blowing up the balloon for the car and rocket. It's a unique toy and is especially great for STEM activities. My kids have enjoyed this toy over the last week, especially my 4 year old daughter. This was a great way to indulge in their obsession with balloons.

[Rewarded Review] Not my favorite toy, but fun a few times

Balloon Zoom isn't my favorite toy, for a few reasons. First, it requires parental participation to get all the parts on and working correctly. Second, it doesn't reliably work correctly, even with parental participation. Third, its sort of a one and done toy- you do the zoom a few times, and thats it. It doesn't require imagination or use alot of brain stimulation. It's fun the way a stomp rocket is fun, for the novelty, but I wouldn't count on it as a long term toy.

[Rewarded Review] Fun but difficult to play

This toy has a very good concept and kids love this kind of toy around. When we first got it, she was so excited and would not us to touch after we assembled it for her. Let's start with the toy, it contains a rocket, an astronaut, a car, a pump, bunch mini size baloons and stickers. The manual is easy to follow. She loves to see the rocket and astronaut to fly and car to race and very excited about it. But my 4 year old has problem to attach the baloons. Another difficult thing for her is pumping the air. You have to pump as fast as you can otherwise the air would leak out and the handle is short. These two things make her so frustrated while playing. Hope this toy can be improved and become a real fun for kids.

[Rewarded Review] Maybe user error?

Honestly this was ok. It could honestly be user error, but we couldn’t get the balloon to blow up for the astronaut so we could never get that working. The car worked just fine and zoomed down our hallway. Overall it’s a cute idea but, personally, my kids got over it pretty quick. My daughter is 6 so maybe it was the fact that she couldn’t entirely blow up the balloon herself. I think if I could get both functions to work it would be more fun for them. Again, could just be hswr error, or maybe ours isn’t working properly.

[Rewarded Review] Fun toy but short lasting

My kids really enjoyed playing with this toy while it fully lasted. Portions of the toy still work after several days of play, and they still enjoy using those parts, but overall we were disappointed that things broke quickly. The rocket wouldn't inflate straight out of the box. We tried multiple different adjustments and it simply wouldn't inflate. The car attachment is super fun and the balloon makes it drive pretty far. The pump itself is a bit flimsy and doesn't work as well as it originally did after a few days of play.

[Rewarded Review] this was a huge hit!

my five year old nephew is crazy about balloons and cars so you can imagine what a huge hit this balloon zoom toy was! he hasnt stopped playing with it and his eight old brother loves it too! its pretty cute seeing how much fun theyre having with it! i really like it because its a fun toy that doesnt involve their ipads! also it doesnt need batteries and uses standard balloons. just pump it up to make it work. they attach a balloon to the car, attach the car to the pump, pump it up and release the car and watch it take off!..you can make the cars race or attach the rocket man and let him take off and fly . it even glows in the . i love this toy and so do my nephews!

[Rewarded Review] Great Entertainment

My boys are obsessed with this toy. They love that they can blow the balloons up on the car or rocket and launch them on their own. It takes little effort to blow the balloon up and let it fly. The car goes further than the rocket and it's easier to blow up the car balloon than the rocket balloon. It keeps the boys entertained for a while though as they take turns blowing up and launching. It is difficult for little fingers to put the balloon on the rocket and they couldn't quite figure out the taking car apart to put balloon inside so an adult helped with that.

[Rewarded Review] Really fun toy!

I recently got my new Balloon Zoom toy for my daughter and we both absolutely love it. It a really cool toy and provides hours of fun. The easy to understand instructions provided had us up and playing in just minutes. The hand operated air pump works perfectly as it should and the accessories snap right on and correctly release for reliable play. The difference pieces such as rockets and air operated racecar provide play preferences provide hours of fun dependable play. I highly recommend this tou to anyone.

[Rewarded Review] Fun but not well made

My son actually loved this and was so excited when I gave it to him. It is a cool, fun concept and it just wasn't executed properly I think. The pump itself would give a good blast or two of air and then just start wheezing, so it would take a while to fill the balloon even a little. My son would get his hopes up and then the slightly full balloons would barely propel the rocket and parachute, but the car was the worst. I began to blow up the balloons by mouth and trying to get them onto the devices, but that was mostly an exercise in futility. By dinner time, the pump was done for and so were my balloon filling lungs. Cool idea, just needs some adjustments, or maybe I just got a dud.
