Picture the Halloween parade at school: your child zooms past the crowd with no extra jetpack costume accessories to carry, because the soaring jetpack is built right into this inflatable costume. One glance and everyone sees a kid blasting off into space. Expect laughs, double takes and countdown chants all along the trick-or-treat route.

How this jetpack powers up

A battery-operated fan inflates the jumpsuit in seconds. The battery pack tucks into a pocket in the right side seam, which you reach through a zipper next to the fan. The suit closes with a zipper down the centre of the back, and elastic bands at the wrists and ankles keep the air inside. It runs on 4 AA batteries, which are not included, so stock up before launch day.

Planning a space crew for a group costume? Suit up a sibling in an astronaut costume for kids, send a best friend in an alien abduction inflatable costume, or dress the baby of the family in a little astronaut costume. Grab the batteries and get ready for liftoff!
