Laura Ashley Dome Umbrella for Boys and Girls, Toddler’s Back to School Stick Rain Umbrella

I love this. My son loves this. It is a nice, sturdy material that my rough 6 year old is able to jangle with breaking. It fits over his body perfectly to cover him from the rain and sun.

This is a lovely little umbrella. I liked the range of styles but my child chose this design. It is a really cute whale theme. It is small but roomy for growing children. It is very light but sturdy when faced with breezes. It didnt turn inside out. Its goes back to storage size very quickly and is easily put up. Very happy.

I have to say that although cute, I am disappointed by the quality of this umbrella. When I saw Laura Ashley I was expecting something very muuch better made. It is a light weight, mosatly plastic, umbrella, and but for the design, looks like something you might expect to pick up for very little money in a convenience store. Nowhere on the umbrella itself, nor on the tags, does it say Laura Ashly. The tags are marked Stepping stones llc. It is appropriately sized for a young child, and, as mentioned previosly, very light weight. The treouble is that I would not expect this to last very long under any circumstances, and probably not through a heavy rain (lkke we get in the tropics).

A really sturdy umbrella. When you open it up, it holds its shape really well. I don’t know if that makes sense - but I’ve had umbrellas where the spines or ribbing were so flimsy that upon opening the umbrella shape was like barely holding open and the slightest wind would mess it up. This is a sturdy umbrella! The design is also adorable. The tail of the shark sticks out slightly and adds just a bit of fun for my kids.

My 4 year old has used his as a bat, and umbrella, a stick, and a cane. It has held its shape and not bent at all. Its also extremely cute and perfect size for him

I ordered this umbrella for my kindergartener, and was extremely disappointed when it arrived since the graphic has very obvious faded spots (see my photos; these were taken immediately after opening, not after use). It also had an extremely strong odor, like wet varnish. Otherwise, I like the size and the dome shape, which is great for preschool to elementary age (my photos show myself with the umbrella, 5 foot 7, 165 pounds, US womens size 10, for reference, testing it out in some light sleet). The umbrella is not difficult to open and close (note it is not automatic), my 5 year old was able to do it independently after some practice, though preschoolers may need assistance. Overall, this is a good sized umbrella for little kids, but I am very disappointed in the lack of quality control. I would be hesitant to order this umbrella again based on the condition of the one I received.

My son is obsessed with dinosaurs!! This umbrella is pretty well made. The orange part of the Dino is 3d. The handle is pretty think. Easily covers a child or even an adult.

I got this 17 inch umbrella for my 5 year old son. The print on it is adorable. The tail of the shark though kinda folds over flimsily. The umbrella does open and close smoothly. I am a bit worried about the long term reliability of this umbrella. The ribs (metal) part of the umbrella seemed to be attached to the canopy by only a few thin pieces of thread. I don’t know how well those will stay in place long term. Theres also a warning about using this if the temperature is above 100F as it affect the design on the umbrella, so that kinda eliminates using it as a sun shade when its hot.

Pros: Cute Easy to Operate Dome Style Cons: None What I received in the package: 1 x LAURA ASHLEY Dome Umbrella With Grey Shark This LAURA ASHLEY Dome Umbrella With Grey Shark product I ordered for our grandson. He spends A LOT of time with us and he loves sharks right now. This just seemed so perfect for him. The design is cute and the umbrella seems to be well made. The tail fin of the shark flaps in the wind which is a cute feature. Giving it a sort of 3D effect. The umbrella has the older style J hook handle. It has a manual open / close which is different from the umbrellas I had growing up. There are not sharp latches the you have to depress in order to close it or lock it open. So it is very safe for children. I appreciate you taking the time to read this. All in all, my wife says Laura Ashley is a quality brand and it shows in this cute little umbrella. Perfect for your little shark enthusiast. The colors are cute and the size is great for littles boys. Hope this information was helpful. [4 Stars]
