Is this toy a good choice for air travel with a 2.5 year old? Not too heavy for my carry-on backpack? If not, other interactive toy recommendations?

Maybe- I am not certain of the actual size as I shipped it directly to my grandson. Sorry I can't be of more help here.Bill

It can be carried on its own. It can be carried in a backpack. It is a great toy.

I bought it to take along on an international flight for my 2.5 years old daughter. However, I kept it in the carry-on suitcase, rather than my backpack because of the weight (3.75 pounds) and size (11.5 x 14 x 2 inches) of the box.Other than the Imaginets, I took along Fisher-Price iXL 6-in-1 Learning System (handheld game), Fisher-Price Classic Doodler With 2 Stampers and Crayola Color Wonder markers with coloring books (it was a more than 24 hours travel, including the layover).

Hello. This gift was for my niece. I remember wrapping it and thinking it was heavy. I don't think it would be a good choice for air travel. I purchased a leap frog for my niece as well and I think something like that would be great for air travel. I traveled to Germany with another niece and nephew and they had puzzles and books to read. Good luck!

No this toy is not a good choice for air travel in a comercial flight. The box is large and will too heavy for 2.5 year old. My child is 3years old and she canoot carry to far.

The case is not too heavy & this makes a great travel toy for hours (well...my maybe several minutes depending on your 2.5 yr old's attention span) of fun! It has a lot of picture cards & 42 magnet pieces so might not be the best for cramped air travel unless you are obsessed with counting/keeping close track of each & every piece like I am. The ABC magnet bead board with magnet pen I would say is the ABSOLUTE BEST travel toy....super fun & great learning with no pieces to lose (except the pen if it doesn't get clicked back into it's place)! Happy Travels!

I would not consider it a toy and think that it would not be appropriate for a 2 year old. I would recommend an age range of at least 5 and up. I actually bought one for myself.

Hi Milli, I bought if for a 1 year old with the Playskool Airport and it fit like a glove. He had a blast with it.

I used my nest with my daughter until she was 9 months old and now I'm using it with my son and he is 6.5 months. We use it instead o a pack and play. It's fantastic since it is his suitcase as well. We used it for a few big airplane trips with my daughter and are using it for my sons luggage and and crib for an upcoming disneyworld trip this month. You would still need to purchase a pack and play when they are older (9months plus) but it's awesome when thy are small. It's also great for day trips ,camping , beach trips ....

If the child is light enough (i.e., no more than 23 lbs.) it should not be a problem. My 4-year old grandson (who weighs 32 lb.) wanted to be pushed around in it and the rubber around the wheels came off. I can only assume this happened because he was too heavy. This is the only time the rubber came off despite great usage, but with no one riding in it. I don't think that it's really designed for "passengers", other than toys or stuffed animals. My 2-year old grandson loves to "load it up" with all of his toys and animals and push them around.

yes! perfect for one and two year olds. Got it for my 14 mo grandson just before he flew on his first flight, and it's still one of his favorite toys.

My son is two and enjoys it but it might be a bit young for a three young old. He also has an imaginex plane that he likes that might be better suited for a three year old.

There not very loud at all, the only troubles I would see being on a plane would be parts falling on the floor. My granddaughter loves this toy and spends more time taking then apart and putting them back in the carton. Then we play together and say colors ,shapes, and even matching the faces to the eggs.

never taken it traveling overseas or anywhere but from house to house. Bot I did see it for the first time at an airport where are child was pulling it to board a plane. That is how I found out about heys luggage. I ask your mother where she had bought it and she's the one that told me that it was heys luggage online. Its very sturdy. And we found that it travels pretty good from house to house and my two year old can easily pull it. We are really happy with it.

We brought it for our granddaughter when she was 18 months old and she loved it. She pulled it instead pushing it but nevertheless, she really liked it.Now she is two and has a doll carriage which she is liking very much, that needs to be pushed. If the child is a boy, I say go for it! Another option would be a small wagon because they like to cart around their things. I hope this helps. We have so much fun with her; it's great.

Hi,My kids love it but they are 11 and 8. I use it too.It may be a little difficult for a five year old and may frustrate them. I would wait. Try the ez glider. I have that too and is super easy and fun.

Many other sellers are including the travel bag for free right now. That said, I have the Foonf and wouldn't ever think of traveling with it. The thing weighs a ton and I would not want to lug it through an airport with all of the other stuff you end up needing when traveling with kids. We used an older car seat that weighs 13 lbs less than Foonf when we flew with out daughter recently and leaving the Foonf at home was the smartest thing we did that trip.

I purchased this toy for my son when he was 2. He loved it. He's 3 now though & the toy doesn't keep his attention for very long any more, he prefers toys that are more interactive/louder noises. The plane does play 3 short songs/noises, but may not be the best toy for a boy.

It is very light so a child can carry it. I had nieces/nephews from age 8-13 using it. They only played with it for about a half hour before giving it up. I think it is a cool "toy" but maybe not the kids...

My 2 year old nephew plays with it a little when he comes over but my 15 month old son is already starting to lose interest. It was the perfect toy when he was 6 months to a year. He definitely still plays with it now it's not quite as interesting as it used to be. I would suggest something more advanced for a 2 year old. Hope this helps.

This may be too late to answer, but my 2.5-year-old got this for Christmas and LOVES it. I mean, "want to carry it everywhere" loves it.
