Children's Umbrellas

Childhood is the happiest and most carefree time in life when you can afford a lot. For example, run through puddles or take a walk in the pouring rain. And that the child was not soaked and did not catch a cold, parents take care. Moreover, today they have a huge selection of rubber boots, raincoats and children's umbrellas.

How is an umbrella for children different from an umbrella for adults? As a rule, several parameters.

• Firstly, the umbrella should be very light, because the baby is not able to hold a heavy accessory, which also bends in heavy rain or gusty winds.

• Secondly, the size and ease of use. The model should be compact enough so as not to cause inconvenience when entering the house or kindergarten. The child must quickly fold and open the umbrella without adult help.

• Thirdly, a variety of colors and prints. Of course, adult accessories for rain today are presented in a huge selection, but products for children differ in much greater color splendor.

Of course, all umbrellas must be safe so that they do not inadvertently injure the owner himself or a child nearby.

All children's umbrellas can be divided into groups according to several criteria:

The umbrella can fold or remain in its original form (cane).

The first option can be assembled into several additions, such a model is called ultra-compact.

Each model has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, an umbrella cane is quite practical. It perfectly resists wind load, does not bend and is suitable for very young children who are still hard to cope with a semi-automatic and automatic model. The only drawback is the large size.

Older children, of course, are best to buy folding umbrellas.Today, a huge selection of models for girls and boys of different ages is presented.

By this criterion, all umbrellas are divided into 3 groups (mechanical, semi-automatic and automatic).

• The first category includes models that fold manually. The most practical and durable option of all due to the lack of a special mechanism. The disadvantages include the lack of a button, which will quickly open and fold the umbrella if necessary.

• An automatic model is most common due to its convenience. At the touch of a button, an umbrella can be instantly opened or slammed, this moment is especially important for young children. Among the shortcomings, one can note a higher cost relative to other models and insufficient durability - the mechanism of pressing a button can fail.

• Semi-automatic model. It occupies an intermediate position between the first and second options. An umbrella opens by pressing a button, and folds manually. This is not always convenient.

When choosing children's umbrellas, size is much more fundamental than it might seem. Models with a huge dome, of course, better protect the child from the rain, but walking with them is not very convenient for a little man because of bulkiness and weight. In addition, such an umbrella can interfere with parents who lead the child by the hand.

There can be several ways out of this situation. For example, turn your attention to umbrellas with a dome like a bell. They may not be very convenient, as they obstruct the view. In this case, transparent umbrellas will help. They will reliably protect the child from falling water drops, and will not interfere with what is happening.

Basically, there are three options: round, square, bell.

For the smallest, designers offer original models in the form of a frog’s head, a dog, a kitten, a tiger cub decorated with ears, antennae, and a cheerful muzzle.

Children's umbrellas will never cease to amaze with their variety of colors and prints.

Each kid, regardless of age, can easily choose an original umbrella, decorated with the image of the hero of your favorite fairy tale or cartoon. Characters of animated series are especially popular today. On the streets you can often see an umbrella with Fixies or Snow White, Barboskins or Cars, Mickey Mouse or Winnie the Pooh.

Another category of children's umbrellas is the original model. They can be made in the form of bright yellow ripe corn or orange carrots, juicy strawberries or ripe kiwi.

This also includes umbrellas in the form of dolls, animals, fairy-tale characters. As a rule, they are decorated with additional elements: crowns, ears, horns, bows.

Classic models have a round or bell-shaped dome.

Performed in various colors and combinations. For example, a monophonic umbrella is equally well suited for a small fashionista, and for a girl of 10 years and older. Color can be restrained - black, dark blue, burgundy, green or rainbow, bright - yellow, orange, raspberry, pink, turquoise.

The Rainbow umbrella enjoys special love not only among young children, but also among adults.

On a gloomy, rainy day it is so nice to complement your image with such a colorful and beautiful accessory, decorated with rainbow rays.

Transparent umbrellas are universal, as well as black models. They combine perfectly with different clothes and are suitable for children of any age and gender.

Any child can choose an umbrella they like, the task of parents is to choose a model that is comfortable, practical and safe for him.

When choosing a suitable model, it is necessary to pay attention to several points:

1. The umbrella should be safe both for the child and for his environment. The elements of the model should be rounded, and the spokes should have tips made of plastic.
2. Convenience.For preschool children, canes are best. They are easy and convenient to use, they are resistant to gusts of wind. Such an umbrella can be easily opened or folded and put in the locker room locker. Older children will prefer folding models that are easy to put in a bag or bag.
3. The size. The smaller the child, the more concise and neat his umbrella should be. The kid just can not cope with a huge umbrella.
4. The quality of the material. To create umbrellas, durable, lightweight, waterproof materials are most often used: polyester, nylon, PVC film. When buying, be sure to check the umbrella for the integrity of the material and the absence of perforation or cracks. By the way, umbrellas are used not only during rain. Accessories made of elegant cotton materials and decorated with ruffles and ruffles will protect the child from the sun in hot weather.
5. The accessory should be lightweight, but strong enough at the same time. It is best if steel is not used for the manufacture of knitting needles, but steel.
6. When buying an umbrella, you must personally verify it in action: open and close several times, fold it, if required by the design. The mechanism should work clearly and quickly.

Today, many manufacturers of children's products offer umbrellas. Each brand seeks to bring something new, innovative, original to the manufacturing process.

• For example, the company Alex offers its young customers to paint an umbrella with their own hands. The kit includes a semi-automatic cane, special waterproof markers, instructions and several stencils. Some models are already available with printed drawings, it remains only to color them.

• Doppler products differ from their analogues not only in high quality, but also in a stylish, modern design. The models are based on a frame made of high-strength steel, and fiberglass is used to manufacture the spokes.
• The Italian brand "Perletti" offers a wide range of models with a specially designed system for safe opening. In addition, all knitting needles are equipped with rounded plastic tips.

• Russian brands are in no way inferior to Western manufacturers and offer a variety of collections of children's umbrellas to choose from. For example, the models of the Tornado brand are made in a modern, elegant design, and the Monsoon products feature LED elements that adorn the umbrella. Thanks to such an original detail, the child is clearly visible even in the dark.

Another popular part that many manufacturers supply their models is the whistle. This is both entertainment and a certain element of safety for children.

In order for such a fragile and beautiful accessory, such as a children's umbrella, to serve its small owner as long as possible, it is necessary to teach the child to properly care for him.

Periodically, each umbrella needs a warm shower. All dirt and dust from the surface are washed off with water, then the umbrella is dried in a straightened state.

As a care product for the material the accessory is made of, a solution of water and vinegar is sometimes used. And if you wipe it with a mixture of water and ammonia, the spokes of the umbrella will sparkle like new.
