Amazon Basics Kids Clear Bubble Umbrella

I live in an area that notoriously gets hail every summer and there are a couple of plants I keep on the uncovered porch that I have crafted a quick attachment to pop this umbrella up if I need to, vs scrambling to find something to protect it with. The clear plastic itself appears durable enough that I am optimistic it will help against hail up to marble size. I am happy with it and will likely buy a few more.

I love how the umbrella shade isnt cut off short like most. The print is super cute too. My 21 month old is a little on the smaller side but she was able to hold the umbrella. Cant wait for her to use it when theres a little rain cause I know shell get a kick out of it when she looks up & can see the raindrops through the umbrella. Also had my 10 year old give it a try. If she were to carry her little sister while holding the umbrella it will give them good enough space for each other.

Update: my daughter got to use this MAYBE 5 times before the umbrella ripped off of the pole, pictured. Super bummed. I would recommend ordering something a little bit higher quality so that it can hopefully make it through an entire season. I ordered this for my 3 year old and its just the perfect size for her! It feels sturdy enough that Im hoping it will survive her playing with it during every rainstorm where she can convince someone to take her outside! The dots are just adorable and I love that its clear so she can still see where shes going if she holds it low while walking. There isnt a button to push to pop it up, you have to manually put it up and take it down, which is probably good so she doesnt pop it up and poke herself in the eye or something like she could with the spring loaded ones. No complaints so far!

I personalized for a 10-year-old. Perfect size. I was afraid it’d be too small, but it’s a really good size. Easy to open too. Really cute!

Very easy to open and close. Maintains close. The plastic is not very thick so you may be careful in case something gets impaled. Overall its worth it for a first time umbrella.

The whole plastic umbrella is very light and the kids love it, but the umbrella is too small and the rain always wets the clothes.

This came in on a rainy day so we were able to test it out right away. No leaks anywhere meaning no holes which is the most important thing. Love all the safety features like clear plastic for my kid to see where he is going, I like how everything is plastic except for the main body, even the ends are all plastic which is shut tight by melting the plastic onto the umbrella itself as seen on picture. Closing mechanism is very easy. It’s just up and down mechanism for kids and no need to press anything. This is very kid friendly plus it’s very safe too.
