Product description

The first submitted sample, item number 00514, Fire Truck Hero, is a costume that consists of a one piece foam-filled (stuffed) three-dimensional fire truck with an attached long sleeve top. The top has a long opening in the back with hook and loop tabs. When worn, the user extends their legs through an opening in the fire truck where the truck’s seat would normally be. This allows the fire truck to be worn around a child’s waist like an inner tube, with the long sleeve top covering the torso. The second submitted sample, item number 00513, Dino Rider, consists of a one piece foam-filled (stuffed) three-dimensional dinosaur with an attached top and pants. The top has a long opening in the back with hook and loop tabs. When worn, the user extends their legs through an opening in the dinosaur’s back. This allows the dinosaur to be worn around a child’s waist like an inner tube, with the short sleeve top covering the torso.
