Exotic Butterfly

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Kites
from: Spirit of Air


I have to agree with the first review.

A friend abroad bought this through Amazon for my daughter's 4th birthday present. She chose this one based on first review.

We gave her the string to hold and by the time we'd walked out with the kite and held it aloft, it took off! So simple, every time we've taken it out it's been exactly the same.

It rattles around in the boot of my car, along with the pram and buggy board and all the other rubbish you accumulate with two small children. Has proven sturdy, hard wearing and lots of fun.

If you want something easy for children to fly, yet still good quality - go for this one!

Radsail Kite Harness

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Kites
from: Eolo


For under £30 you'd be hard pushed to find a better harness (or any for that matter).
The harness is comfortable to wear for a lengthy period but for extended periods of time I'd say look towards the £45 - £50 range.
One note is that it does NOT have a grab handle at the back! this means it can't really be used for training or for assistance while launching in higher winds. Most suitable for a buggy rider.

Eolo Radsail Pro 3m Power Kite

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Kites
from: Eolo


I have flown a range of these pro kites: 2m,3m,4m,5m and all of them have great power behind them and are very stable for their cost.
As always, go for the Radsail Pro versions over the non-pro ones as they offer smoother/more power and are of higher quality. Treated well this will last for years.

I fully agree with the review by Mr Prebble except I'd like to add my view to one of his last points.
Yes care must be taken with ALL power kites whether you're a beginner or a pro and this one is no exception.
For beginners I recommend flying this in low winds first around 8-12mph. At 5mph, a beginner will struggle to keep it in the air.
For the lighter beginner, the 2m pro kite would be more suitable. Even the ... Read More:

UFO Sam Kite

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Kites
from: Cochranes of Oxford


We have had one of these kites for years and my wife carries it in the boot of the car (with a selection of other kites) and never misses an opportunity to fly it. It will usually fly when the wind is too low for other kites. I have just bought another via Amazon for children six years upwards and it was a fantastic success. Not only is it easy to launch and fly but it is so attractive in flight when reflecting the light. The fact it revolves and makes an un-kite like noise adds to the effect. People stop to look at it and often comment on how unusual it is. Great kite for all - highly recommended for a relaxing flight.

Tacker 3 Boat Kite

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Kites
from: Brookite


one of the best buys for my son since he was born. We take this toy everywhere ; to the beach, to the pool, in the bath. it's great. it doesn't sink and it really sails, plus it doesn't look like a 'Fisher Price' baby toy, it is taken quite seriously !! very educational as well since it shows strength of the wind, streams etc
