Totes Kids Bubble Umbrella, Dots

Family Shoppers
> 3 dayI bought two of these, one for a 7 yr old and one for a 2.5 yr old. Positives: They seem pretty durable (time will tell). I like how they cover their whole upper body but they can still see when they walk. Both kids can hold it above their head with no trouble at all. I got the polka dots b/c it was cute and gave them a little privacy if they wanted it. Negatives: My oldest has a hard time opening it, it takes a little bit of a push. She can do it but I have to tell her to be forceful. She and I both have pinched our fingers a few time closing it. Again it takes a bit of a strong pull, and if you get your finger in the wrong spot while doing it, you get a little pinch. She is practicing. Finally, b/c of the plasticy material can get a little stuck together, my daughter has a difficult time wrapping it all closed and snapping it. I wish that closure piece was a slight bit longer to make it easier for kids. Mine did not have the powder that other reviews have mentioned. They came clean and nicely packaged. Overall a good purchase. I think I want one for myself as this see-through design seems to make more sense than a regular umbrella, however I do prefer to have a more collapsible umbrella for carrying around so Ill see how these last first.

> 3 dayLove this umbrella, the most adorable style trending rn imo. I just wish Id gotten one for myself in an adult style too. I went with a more basic pink one in a more cost-effective option and I do regret it, because this one for my daughter is so cool lol! So beautiful and a see-through umbrella really is the smart way to go, get yourself some nice protection and still be able to see! Its a no-brainer.

> 3 dayI purchased this for one of my students at school. It actually covered both of us well while we were waiting in the rain for the school bus. Its really cute and does the job well. Actually, other students and faculty complimented on its cuteness. I recommend.

> 3 dayGreat little umbrella! Not sure how long it will last, but it seems to be better quality than the kid character ones and even the brand kid adorable ones that lasted us one season. Super cute polka a dot pattern too. Love the fact that its a bubble style so it keeps my daughters upper body dry. The best part about this umbrella though is the fact that its see through!! I cant tell you how incredibly handy this is for a child, and parent! My daughter, 4, would always have the worst time seeing anything and I would constantly have to hold the top part of her other umbrella and guide her so she wouldnt bump into anything. With this style though not only does it cover her body more since its a bubble but she can actually see where shes walking! Something that seems so simple, but truly does make a difference. Still going strong here in Oct. 2018! Hasnt ripped or anything. A little harder now to open, definitely difficult for my daughter who is 5 but I absolutely would buy this again if I needed too.

> 3 dayMy daughter loves this umbrella (the clear one with colored dots), and it fits her well. She is able to open it and close it on her own, and I suspect its manageable by most kids ages 3 and up. She did pinch her finger once between the plastic slide and the main rod when trying to close it, but after showing her how to make sure her fingers are in the right place when she opens and closes it, shes good to go. (Note that this has a much more kid-finger-friendly plastic slide/lock mechanism than the old metal slide/latch mechanisms of my childhood. If she had pinched my finger in one of the old metal types, it would definitely have left a mark.) I would strongly recommend this for someone wanting an umbrella for their 3-8 year old.
