Children's umbrellas for boys and girls

When the weather is bad outside, the wind is blowing and it is raining, many mothers prefer not to take their children for a walk, having a negative attitude towards such a pastime, even if they understand what happiness it is for a child to splash through the puddles. But sometimes it happens that going outside in the rain is not just a desire of your beloved child to have fun, but an urgent need. In this case, you need to make sure that the baby is well protected. To do this, mom will need a raincoat, rubber boots and, of course, a children's umbrella.

Like an adult accessory, a child's accessory can also be folded in different ways. An umbrella can be of an automatic type, when one press of a button is enough to open a beautiful and reliable “canopy” above your head. When you press another button, it will also close easily. The semi-automatic type opens according to the same principle, but you need to close it with your hands. Mechanical folds and unfolds only manually.

To help kids on automatic models, arrows are drawn indicating what and where to do. Children quite easily master this science, but to work with a mechanical umbrella, the child will have to tinker.Therefore, parents should not buy the last option for too young children, otherwise they will be nervous and upset.

At the ends of the needles there are always plastic caps, designed in the form of balls or cylinders, this also applies to the peak tip at the top of the product. In a children's umbrella, it will never be sharp. This is the main point of safety: the child will not be able to injure himself and other children.

Children's umbrellas are light, because it is difficult for kids to hold heavy objects for a long time.

The material from which the dome of the accessory is made does not differ from the material for adult umbrellas. In modern production, different fabrics are used - these are polyester, and satin, and silk and a new type of pongee fabric. Often the base of the dome is impregnated with special solutions that increase water resistance and extend the life of the product. The most popular Teflon impregnation, thanks to it, water drops are not absorbed by the surface of the umbrella, but roll off the dome, while the fabric remains dry.

In terms of design and style, the range of children's "rain helpers" is very large due to the wide color palette and the variety of patterns printed on their dome. Children's umbrellas are produced in plain or multi-colored, bright or with your favorite cartoon characters, from which the baby will be in seventh heaven!

Regarding the shape of the accessory for kids, here the manufacturers have tried. There are round models, square and other original models. But you can’t choose an umbrella that is too wide for a child: its size will make it difficult for the parent to walk next to the baby, and the water flowing from its edges will certainly fall on the adult’s feet. The dome-shaped model is ideal for both mother and her child. Some umbrellas have a viewing window so that the baby can see everything around, and not just what is happening under his feet.

In recent years, parents have become more responsible for protecting their children, and bad weather conditions are no exception. We paid special attention to goods for children and manufacturers. By presenting a variety of umbrella models to the choice of caring parents. Among them are small and medium-sized models, mechanical, automatic, cane umbrellas, folding, from the sun.

The range of modern children's umbrellas never ceases to amaze consumers. Now you can choose an attribute from the rain for a child for every taste and color. Umbrellas with cartoon characters are very popular with children.As a rule, girls choose models with painted Disney princesses: Rapunzel, Elsa, Sofia the First, the Little Mermaid, Winx fairies, as well as with the heroes of the very popular cartoon Masha and the Bear.

Boys, in turn, are more attracted to umbrellas with cars, dinosaurs, Winnie the Pooh, brave dogs from the Paw Patrol cartoon, Mickey Mouse, angry birds, etc.

You can buy an umbrella literally at every step. These products are sold in specialized boutiques, and in supermarkets, at market points and even in underground passages. However, for a child, buying the first umbrella that comes across and likes the price is not worth it. You need to look for a model that was originally created for children, and is designed for the specific conditions of its operation. Only in this case, the umbrella will fit your beloved child. It will be strong (how clumsy babies 2-5 years old are, many parents know), safe, and, of course, bright. And if you take into account all these points before buying, subsequent walks in the rain will be a joyful game for the baby and his parents!

First of all, a children's umbrella must be chosen by size. No need to buy for growth, it will be difficult for a child to cope with it in windy weather. It is necessary to lean the cane against the baby's body if its border is 5 cm below the waist - this is ideal. The open dome should cover the shoulders, but, of course, within the limits of common sense.Too large a dome is unacceptable, since it will be inconvenient for a small owner to carry such an umbrella, and it is problematic for parents walking nearby to control the baby.

To find the ideal model, an umbrella must meet the list of the following characteristics:

One of the important rules when choosing a children's umbrella: the mechanism must be simple. Therefore, folding models are not recommended to buy. It is highly likely that the child will not figure out with such an umbrella (how to open and close the product) or will break it with uncertain movements.

Children's umbrella should not be too big: the younger the child, the smaller his umbrella should be. Although an overly small umbrella will not adequately protect against rain. Therefore, it is better to buy a small but wide umbrella. Now at the peak of popularity are transparent and deep arched umbrellas. Such a product will allow the child to see everything around well, and the parents walking next to him will be comfortable near the child.

In this case, two points must be taken into account. First, it is the frame of the umbrella. Today, the most common material for knitting needles is aluminum, but steel is better for children's umbrellas.It is heavier, however, stronger (especially if treated with titanium coating - however, a product with such impregnation is more expensive), so it confidently resists wind attempts to turn the umbrella dome inside out.

Secondly - the material of the dome. Nylon is used by manufacturers most often. It is inexpensive, unpretentious, although outwardly not very effective. Polyester treated to look like silk or velvet looks more interesting, but it is easy to scratch. Therefore, cotton is often added to polyester. Then the dome becomes stronger, prettier, but also more expensive.

The safety of an umbrella must be assessed as a whole. Parents need to make sure that the edges of all the spokes have "plugs" - small plastic caps. You should not buy an umbrella with a pointed tip - a pike - you can also get hurt or injure others. The mechanism of the umbrella must work clearly and not have defects. Adults must make sure that there is no risk for the child to pinch fingers.

Appearance is a matter of personal preference. A children's umbrella should please its little owner, because if the child does not appreciate the purchase of his parents, most likely, he will hardly walk with it in the rain. Therefore, you should choose an umbrella based on the taste and wishes of the baby.As a rule, children like bright, unusual models, for example, those that have ears, horns, lace.

And in order not to make a mistake with the purchase, moms and dads should invite the child to participate in the choice. Having chosen 2-3 models, adults need to show them to the future owner - let him decide which one he likes best.

Having chosen an umbrella, it will not be superfluous to check a specific instance. Does the mechanism stick, is there any damage to the fabric, does it sag when the dome is fully opened, and how well is it attached to the knitting needles.

As a rule, if there is an umbrella, there should be rubber boots. It is not uncommon to see a child walking with an umbrella in his hands and in a raincoat. This is quite an adequate wind for rainy weather, combined with appropriate shoes. A bright children's umbrella in bad weather will always cheer you up, and will never spoil the image of a little man.

Funny children's umbrellas are produced by many domestic and foreign companies. The American brand is very popular and trusted by parents "Alex". The peculiarity of the products is that boys and girls can paint their rain protector at their discretion. The kit includes: instruction manual, umbrella itself, waterproof felt-tip pens and various stencils.

The company is not inferior in quality to umbrellas Doppler. Products of this brand are made of water-repellent material, and the products are of high quality and fashionable design.

Fans of Disney cartoons will certainly appreciate children's umbrellas TM "Perletti" (Italy).The products of this brand are seriously tested, so they are absolutely safe for young fidgets.

A children's umbrella is not always an attribute for rainy weather. Often this accessory is used as protection from the scorching sun, so it cannot be said that a children's umbrella can be used exclusively in autumn or spring.

A child with an umbrella and in a summer dress will look as stylish as in bright rubber boots, a raincoat to match the shoes and an original umbrella in the little hands.

If it is raining outside the window, the baby, dressed in a waterproof and windproof jacket, overalls or panties, will look very stylish and beautiful, especially with a bright umbrella dome over his head.
