This is a great kite, easy to fly in a low wind. I got it for my 3 year old daughter and she did very well with it.

This kite takes off before you even let the string out! Very nice compared to another kite we have that we can only get off the ground in strong winds. I'd say this one is good for all ages. We are glad we bought it so that our son will think kindly of kite-flying.

Just purchased this kite and tried flying several times. It is easy to launch and achieve height. However, the kite will list to the left side and dive straight to earth. This occurs even if the kite is high (300 ft) and no change in wind speed. I can tell the wind is adequate because there is adequate resistance on the string as this buddy swan dives. The listing is always to the left. Once it enters its death roll, it cannot be pulled out. I have an intermediate level of experience flying kites, and can't prevent this thing from crashing. I look forward to examining this kite for imperfections in the seams or asymmetry; problem is it currently is 50 ft above the ground in a tree. We also have the Large Easy Flyer Dog kite - it works as advertised. Flies well.

I got this to fly with my daughter. It's really easy to get into the air. We went out on a breezy day, and it was actually a bit too windy for the kite. It goes up with the slightest breeze and hangs nice. It's not as stable in gusty winds. We had gusts around 15-20mph which got the fabric flapping around pretty good, and made it a little difficult to control. During the calm times it was great. You can stand still and control it with one arm. It's really pretty when the sun shines through the nylon fabric. The construction is also pretty good with heavier nylon pockets for the poles. I'd say it's worth spending a few extra dollars to get a real kite over one of those cheap plastic drug store triangles. This is a great first kite which won't frustrate a child (or adult) trying to get it into the air. It came with a few hundred feet of a fairly heavy weight nylon string.

This kite is beautiful and VERY EASY to fly. My daughter can control it without help. It is the perfect kite for the inexperienced kite flyers (like us). Can't wait for summer vacation at the beach!
