Children’s umbrellas for school
The school umbrella gets lost in the first month or breaks on the third gust. What makes the difference are two things almost no one looks at: the tips and the opening system.
See children's umbrellas Material list by ageA children’s umbrella is the one with a reduced diameter, between 42 and 50 cm of rod, with rounded plastic tips and manual opening. The blunt tips and absence of automatic mechanism are what distinguish it from a small adult umbrella.
Why a small adult umbrella doesn’t work
A reduced adult umbrella has metal tips and often an automatic spring opening. At a child’s height, those tips are right at the face level of their classmates in a line, and the automatic spring triggers with enough force to pinch fingers.
Children’s umbrellas have plastic ball tips and manual opening precisely for that reason.

Why it works
Rounded tips
Finished in plastic, not metal. This is the key difference when twenty children go out at the same time through the same door.
Manual opening
No automatic spring. It opens more slowly and without the risk of pinching fingers.
Proportional diameter
Between 42 and 50 cm of rod. A larger one won’t fit in the backpack and ends up forgotten in the classroom umbrella stand.
With their name or character
The personalized one has the name; licensed ones are identified by the character. In both cases, the idea is the same: so they recognize it from afar.
Frequently asked questions
From what age can they carry an umbrella alone?
Around four or five years old, they handle it without problem if it’s manual opening and the right size. Before that age, a raincoat is usually more practical because it leaves their hands free.
What size of children's umbrella to choose?
Between 42 and 50 cm of rib length. The practical reference is that it covers the shoulders without the rib touching the ground when held closed in the hand.
Can it be personalized with the name?
The personalized model from the catalog, yes. Licensed ones are official resale products and are not personalized.
How do you dry it so it doesn’t smell?
Open and in the shade, never closed and stored wet in the cover. That’s what causes the fabric to end up smelling damp and the ribs to rust.
Do they withstand the wind?
They are children's umbrellas, not mountain umbrellas: with strong gusts, they bend like any umbrella of this size. What rounded tips do prevent is someone getting pricked when it folds.
The same umbrella arrives at home
Rounded tips, manual opening, and something to identify it.
