Description
This kids' push-up umbrella carries a cheerful print of red double-decker buses on a light blue canopy, sized just right for small hands on wet days. The buses run across every panel in large and small versions, each with white windows, grey and red wheels and a destination board that reads "Jump aboard" and "Buckingham Palace". The handle is a bright red hook, the top is capped in red, and each rib ends in a small rounded red tip. It measures 70cm across and 53cm high and weighs 202g, light enough for a child to carry all the way to school and back.
It is just right for the everyday outings that fill a child's week: the walk to school, a trip to the shops, a wander home from the park with plenty of puddles on the way. A push-up umbrella is opened by hand, sliding the canopy up the shaft, so a child can learn to put it up and take it down at their own pace. The bus print suits any youngster who waves at every bus that passes, and the light blue and red colouring brings a lift to the greyest morning.
It is made from metal, nylon and plastic. The curved handle gives an easy grip and doubles as a hook for hanging on a coat peg once you are home, and a fastening strap with a button keeps the canopy neatly rolled when it is closed. As good practice, leave it open to dry after a wet outing before folding it away, and wipe the handle and frame with a damp cloth when needed. We like it hung by the front door, ready for the next shower, and it makes a cheerful present for a little one who loves anything on wheels.
