Children's umbrellas

Childhood is the happiest and most carefree time of life when you can afford a lot. For example, run through puddles or take a walk in the pouring rain. And about the fact that the child is not wet and not a cold, parents care. Moreover, today at their service a huge selection of rubber boots, raincoats and children's umbrellas.

How does an umbrella for children differ from an umbrella for adults? As a rule, several parameters.

• Firstly, the umbrella should be very light, because the baby is unable to hold a heavy accessory, which also sags under heavy rain or gusty wind.

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

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

Of course, all umbrellas must be safe in order not to accidentally cause injury to the owner himself or to a nearby child.

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 in several additions, such a model is called ultracompact.

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

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

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

• The first category includes models that are folded 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 that allows you to quickly open and fold the umbrella if necessary.

• The automatic model is most common due to its convenience. By pressing the umbrella button, you can instantly open or slam, this moment is especially important for young children. Among the shortcomings, it is possible to note a higher cost, relative to other models and insufficient durability - the mechanism of pressing the button can fail.

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

When choosing children's umbrellas, size is much more fundamental than it may seem. Models with a huge dome, of course, better protect the child from the rain, but it’s not very convenient to walk with them to the little man because of the 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, pay attention to umbrellas with a bell-like dome. They may not be very convenient, as they block the view. In this case, transparent umbrellas will help. They will reliably save the child from water droplets, and will not interfere with considering what is happening.

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

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

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

Every kid, regardless of age, can easily choose the original umbrella, decorated with the image of the hero of your favorite fairy tale or cartoon. Especially popular today are cartoon characters. On the streets you can often see an umbrella with Fixies or Snow White, Barboskin or Wheelbarrows, Mickey Mouse or Winnie the Pooh.

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

This also includes umbrellas in the form of dolls, little 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 little fashionista, and for a girl of 10 years and older. The color can be restrained - black, navy, burgundy, green or rainbow, bright - yellow, orange, crimson, pink, turquoise.

Umbrella "Rainbow" enjoys a special love not only for young children, but also for adults.

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

Transparent umbrellas are versatile, as are the black models. They are perfectly combined with different clothes and are suitable for children of any age and gender.

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

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

1. The umbrella must be safe for the child himself, and for his environment. Elements of the model should be rounded, and the needles should have tips made of plastic.
2. Convenience. For preschool children, canes are best suited. 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 a 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 are often used durable, lightweight, waterproof materials: polyester, nylon, PVC film. When buying, it is imperative to check the umbrella for material integrity and the absence of perforations or cracks. By the way, umbrellas are used not only during rain. Accessories made of elegant cotton materials and decorated with ruffles and ruffles, perfectly protect the child from the sun in hot weather.
5. The accessory should be light, but strong enough at the same time. It is best if steel is used for the manufacture of knitting needles, not soft aluminum.
6. When buying an umbrella, you must personally check it in action: open and close it several times, fold it, if it is provided for 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 set includes a cane-semi-automatic, special waterproof markers, instructions and several stencils. Some models are already produced with printed drawings, it remains only to paint them.

• Doppler products differ from their analogues not only in high quality, but also in stylish, modern design. The models are based on a framework of high-strength steel, and fiberglass is used for the manufacture of knitting needles.

Another popular item 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 as a children's umbrella to serve its little owner as long as possible, it is necessary to teach the child to properly care for him.

Periodically, every umbrella needs a warm soul. Water removes all the dirt and dust from the surface, then the umbrella is dried in the expanded state.

As a caring agent for the material from which the accessory is made, 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 shine like new ones.
