Description
This kids' transparent umbrella is printed all over with bunches of bright red cherries on green stems and leaves, scattered across a clear dome canopy. The dome sits low and deep, sheltering head and shoulders, and because the canopy is see-through, a child can still watch the pavement ahead while the rain patters overhead. A red trim runs around the edge, each rib tip is capped in red, and the shaft ends in a red hook handle that is easy to grip and to hang over an arm or a peg. It measures 76cm across, 76cm long and 70cm high, and at 0.228KG it is light enough for a young walker to carry without fuss.
We think it makes a cheerful companion for the school run, puddle walks in the park and wet weekend trips into town, when grey skies call for something bright. The cherry print is a happy pick for any child who loves fruit, the colour red or a sweet, retro look, and it adds a splash of colour to the hall stand on rainy mornings. Because the canopy lets the light through, it never feels gloomy underneath. It is also an easy, practical present for a child, one that will be used again and again through the wetter months.
The canopy is made from clear POE plastic, stretched over plastic spokes on an iron shaft, while the handle, top cap and push-up opening mechanism are plastic too. With a push-up mechanism, it opens by hand: slide the runner up the shaft and the dome spreads out. After a shower, leave it open somewhere airy to dry before folding it down, and wipe the canopy with a damp cloth now and then to keep the plastic clear and the cherries bright. Teamed with red wellies or a bright raincoat, it makes a cheerful rainy-day outfit for little ones.
