Build Quality & Durability

Pros:

Cons:

• "Not the sturdiest umbrella that I've ever purchased, but it is a nice complement to the boots."
• "Arrived broken, umbrella would not open due to broken main shaft."
• "It broke the first time my daughter opened it."
• "Cheap quality, got broken without any effort."
• "Sadly, after using this three times, it has already torn."
• "The material separated from the spoke so now it rides up and there is a metal spoke poking out which is dangerous for my young child to use safely."
• "The umbrella broke after just 3 uses in regular showers/rain."

Functionality & Safety

Pros:

• "Nice and easy for a child to use, and very colorful and adorable too!"
• "I really like the plastic tips on the ends of the frame and the top of the umbrella for safety."
• "What I had not noticed about the umbrella but was pleasantly surprised to discover is that there are rubber 'tips' on the umbrella spines (?) so as to prevent any serious eye injury from inadvertently poking oneself in the eye."
• "The opening and closing mechanism seems to be completely 'pinch proof.'"
• "I appreciate the rounded tips on the top and edges of the umbrella - that way she wouldn't be accidentally poking her younger brother (or me)."
• "The ends of the spines have large round balls so he can't hurt/poke himself or someone else."
• "It's very easy to open (though he can't do it himself). I like that there's no small pieces to pinch little fingers."

Cons:

• "It's great for toddlers but for bigger kids it's like a toy umbrella."
• "Very small. Even for a small child to use."
• "This umbrella is only for children under 3 I believe."
• "The first gust of wind ripped it."
• "I bought this for my 7 yr old, but it is almost too small for him."
• "It matches the rain boots and jacket she has and seems like it's good quality but it is small..child over 5 wouldn't benefit much from it."
• "The umbrella is really pretty... Only problem was its toddler sized. So her head wont be getting wet in the rain."
