Customer Review: Defective right out of the box
Rating: 3 Stars
Because of the bad reviews I'd read, I made sure to order this well ahead of my niece's birthday to allow plenty of time for returns. I'm glad I did so because when I checked the umbrella I noticed it was torn at the top. It seems like a decent umbrella for a child if they would just take the time to check their products before they mail them out. I noticed and like how there is no metal "latch" to push in order to close the umbrella. This is a great design for kids as it probably reduces the amount of pinched fingers in comparison to adult umbrella designs.
I know my 3-year-old niece will really love this umbrella, so I will keep returning it until I get one that is not torn.
UPDATE: Although the umbrella is poorly manufactured, the Belt Outlet as a company is really great. When I told them the umbrella was ripped they immediately sent out a replacement at no cost to me. They said I could either throw away the old one or donate it. I decided to donate it to a poor child for a play umbrella. The replacement umbrella was free from defects. Thank you Belt Outlet! Good customer service is hard to find anymore, but I give you an A+.
Customer Review: nice umbrella but somewhat weak
Rating: 3 Stars
nice umbrella, nice size for my 2 year old. he carries it around like his walking staff! the color is also very nice, and the mushroom shape protect him very well from the rain. But one of the caps started falling off after hardly used, and even though the umbrella still works fine as I put the caps back on, it is kind of worrisome that it can fall out so easily.Customer Review: Quality corresponds to the price

The umbrella was broken after second use by my three year old. It's not reparable...Customer Review: Plastic Pulls Away at Top...leaks
Rating: 2 Stars
The first 2 umbrellas I ordered came already broken at the seams at the top. So, when you opened them they had a big hole around the post at the top. The company I ordered through was great about replacing them and made sure the next 2 were not defective. After a few uses though, they did the same thing. I have never seen such poor quality in a totes product. The concept is great though because the kids can see where they are going and stay completely under the umbrella at the same time. Before they leaked, they made a rainy walk to school go twice as fast.
UPDATE:
I did figure out how I could fix these and keep them, since I like the design, just not the quality. I cut a large circle of clear contact paper (used a dinner plate as my template). I cut an "X" in the middle and put the contact paper over the hole while the umbrella was open. I smoothed it out and trimmed around the "X" just enough to make it look OK without letting any water in. It's been a few months and it is working great. The kids (3 & 4) don't seem to mind, or even notice the patch much.
Customer Review: Terrible quality!

My toddler loved this umbrella for the 5 or so times she used it. Then it broke. The metal spokes that attach the plastic dome to the stem bend almost as easily as twist-ties, so the umbrella becomes misshapen very quickly. Even worse, the spokes break when bent back into position.
It is a very cute umbrella, and the bubble shape is perfect for younger children. I highly recommend finding a different brand, however, or your child will probably be very disappointed very soon.
