    Lasted one full day!
    Bought this as a stocking stuffer for my 5 year old... It lasted one full day... Woo hoo! I don't know if I expected it to last longer but no matter what, it didn't. Was it worth the money, eh probably not. Was it the manufacturer's fault...no. but wouldn't buy it again.
