Totes Kids Bubble Umbrella, Dots

I bought this umbrella for my 3 year old granddaughter. If it was raining when I picked her up from daycare, it was difficult to hold her (60. lbs) in one arm and hold a golf sized umbrella in the other hand to cover both of us and carry anything that was coming home with us that day. So, I looked and found this umbrella. Its large enough to cover her head and shoulders and the design keeps the amount of water getting on her to a minimum. On the other hand, it is small enough that she can easily hold it without bumping into everything around her. Also, the clear bubble (although accented with colored polka dots) allows her to easily see to the front and sides of her. She loves it because it is adorable and it makes it feel like a big girl when she is able to hold it by herself.

I walk on a college campus in a city that often gets rain/snow along with high winds. Normal umbrellas blow inside out, propel me in the direction of the wind, break altogether, and often leave me wishing for a poncho. Then, one day, I saw a fellow student walking with this magical bubble umbrella. I ran back to my apartment to order one for myself. I looked at the measurements for the adult sized one. It was too big to fit in my locker and inconvenient to carry around campus, so I decided to get the kids sized one instead. The kids sized bubble umbrella protects me AND my backpack (in which I carry a binder, laptop, and lunch) from the rain. No more embarrassment and no more soaked clothes. Some of the other reviewers complained that the umbrella stuck to itself and ripped while opening. I would have to agree. It does stick to itself a bit, but if you open it slowly, you should have no problems. If the stickiness gets really bad, just sprinkle a bit of corn starch on it. Overall, its a great umbrella and I am really happy with my purchase.

Super cute! My 10 year old loves it.

Purchased this umbrella so that my toddler could feel like a big kid and walk around in the rain covered. My kid LOVES it. Definitely, lights up a gloomy, rainy day. You can even buy the same umbrella but in adult size, if you desire to match with your mini me. My kid wants to use it all the time (even outside when its sunny and inside for pretend play). Once the umbrella is opened up, its full belly giggles and huge smiles from my child. To my pleasant surprise, its actually pretty durable. The hinges feel solid and sturdy upon opening and the plastic is clean and completely see thru (with the exception of the polka dots). The polka dots start large in size at the top of the umbrella and then gradually decrease in size with each color. On our umbrella, the dot colors include navy, emerald green, magenta, red, marigold, orange, then back to navy. There is also a plastic strap with an easy plastic, snap button closure. However, the snap button may not last long in the hands of a toddler - will update later after its been put to the test. Per the tag, the umbrella has 38” coverage. But for the most part, its a solid product, and Id highly recommend it for independent toddlers. My biggest complaint is the price point. It could definitely be priced lower for a childs umbrella - at time of purchase it was the same price as the adult full size umbrella with polkadots.

I purchase two of these for my 2 yo and 5 yo and they both love them. I dont have to worry about my kids running into anything if they accidentally put the umbrella too low because they are able to see perfectly through the clear material. Theyre made well and I love the designs on them. My 2 yo is able to open and close it easily and I dont have to worry about either of them accidentally pinching themselves in the process.

Seems sturdy and way for child to open and close. Daughters loves it.

I purchased the Dog Print umbrella for my 6 year old Granddaughter. First of all it is so cute and very practical. The shape will eliminate others being poked in the eye and she can see where she is going. I opened and closed it several times and it ran very smoothly. This appears to be sturdy and even though the plastic is a bit thin I think it will hold up quite well. Im excited to give it to her. I read the other reviews and was hesitant to purchase but Im glad I did. It arrived quickly and was packaged well. Hope this helps others.

This is the strongest and sturdiest umbrella I have ever seen, without feeling heavy. From the shaft to ribs (the supports), they are thicker and stronger than any other umbrella I have seen retail. Each part feels very sturdy, you cant even bend the supports; usually the metal on an umbrella is flexible and easily snapped by strong winds - but not this one. I have been stuck in an electronic wheelchair and on my first week in it, there was a rainstorm with the type of winds that go sideways. The wind could not get underneath the umbrella to blow it inside out; I had been very concerned being stuck in the rain because it took me a while to get me from one place to another. This preformed so well, I dont think many people need the warranty that this comes with this unless you run it over with a truck. Also, it is not easy to see in the photo but the vinyl is about as clear as a zip-loc bag, it is almost completely clear and therefore much easier to maneuver with in the rain, the dreaded umbrella vision is a thing of the past. I am quite sure this is the last umbrella I will ever need to buy.

Purchased this item for my daughter. She loves it!

So cute!
