We have given to the helicopter for our son's 1st birthday and he knew immediately how it worked! Although he can not run, but it creates great, it even sitting overtake in! The blades rotate well and easily while dragging-our son has fun when he simply turns the rotor blades by hand only! So far, nothing broken, no quirks, color does not come off and we adults have our fun with it ^^ All in all: Super Great toy, would buy it again and again and give away!
