How high can the rockets go? Is it backyard safe?

Depending upon the force exerted and the weight of the child they can get pretty high. I am not sure what you mean by backyard safe. If you want to know if they will stay in your backyard that will depend upon the size of your backyard and the trajectory of the rocket. If you point it straight up to sky it will go straight up but if you have a small yard and point it at neighbors roof or yours you may lose the rocket. My kids love it!!

I've never tried, but I think it would be extremely susceptible to wind so you would want to be careful to only try it on very calm days. I can see just messing around with it on the back porch or something, but for serious backyard flying you might want to look for something bigger with higher performance and longer range.

Well... It will definitely go soaring out, providing you point the rocket up, but the odds of getting the rocket back are slim to none. Even a light breeze or angle will send it out, with no way for it to fall back down into your 4x4 open area. But taking it to the park would be a lot of fun.Hope this helps.MM

They shoot pretty high. Can lose one on the roof or get caught in a tree . Our dog liked to chase them and was hard on the foam rocket.

Hi Steve....I had no problem flying it 60' high in a couple hundred foot radius. It's a really cool product. It's best in little/no wind.

The device sits appx 4" high, however it runs on battery power and there's electricity involved in the process; so im just not sure how safe it would be in an outside environment. Hope this is helpful.

The rockets are soft and not heavy, but it could damage any valuables in the house. It would be similar to throwing an inflatable ball in the house.

Not high at all (~6-8in?) Honestly, we removed the whole seesaw section. It seemed dangerous as kids were constantly landing on their own feet/getting their legs twisted underneath when landing.I have no other complaints about the swing set--it's been up in our yard a handful of years now, but we do not use that particular piece as I didn't like the design/set-up.

Going from memory of what the box says, about 200 ft. Not very high. Haven't actually flown mine yet, still being made. But the Saturn V isn't about how high it will go but how gracefully it gets there.

You get different heights based on bottle size and amount of water you put in. We have found that a 2 liter filled about a third of the way with water gets the most air. It goes high enough that you need a field or a big backyard or it will end up on someone's roof! The kids had fun experimenting with bottle sizes and water amounts- taught them a little about propulsion. And they love chasing them down as they fall, they have even attempted some add-on parachutes and wings.

I am not totally sure - but assume that they want you to see how far a motor will take the rocket before you put a more powerful motor in. The smaller rocket goes high, and if there is any wind, it will drift far from where you launched.

This is not an indoor toy. When I play with my grandson at the park it is not unusual to launch it 40ft. into the air and 150ft across the park. So I would say no to indoor use.

It's a little over 6 feet tall. Normal ceilings and you won't have a problem...

My 6 th graders designed rockets.. A good plain bottle will shoot 150 feet. The lighter the rocket the more time it takes to float down . It was exciting for our 5 year old as well as my 6 th graders.

Real windy conditions, not a good idea. Light wind and you'll be ok. Make sure the lanterns are completely filled with hot air so they have the best chance of going straight up rather than fly horizontal first. We set them off and a couple landed in trees. Nothing caught fire but there could have been a problem if we were in drier conditions. We are in Florida and have had a lot of rain.

I would think it would be too strong for a bedroom. We use it outside and it is perfect, but on high speeds it sounds like a rocket is taking off.

Depends on how far the building is and obstacles in the way. I guess upto 200 ft. without major obstacles like hills or very thick walls etc. could be a safe bet. I have tried upto 150 ft. without problem.
