Rhode Island Novelty Umbrella for Kids (Bee)

Cute and durable!

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, who is in love with bumble-bees. She was utterly enchanted with it and loves it so much. It is well made, sturdy, a childs size and very appropriate for a child as all its potentially sharp parts are well covered with plastic. The end of each rib has a thick plastic knob over the metal end, so no danger of sharp poking points to injury. The little bee face and antennae are so cute - the picture barely does it justice. I was so pleased with this purchase, and my granddaughter was utterly delighted.

Got it for my sons 3rd birthday as he wanted his own umbrella. It looks extremely cute! At first inspection, it was made well and provided the much-needed protection against the usual hazards associated with adult umbrellas (the pointy tips of the metal spikes that make up the skeleton are actually covered by thick plastic, and there are no latches in the pole that keep the umbrella open or closed.) However, one of the plastic support sticks that connect the elevator mechanism to the skeleton and the canopy broke after only a few (5-7) uses, and now hangs loose off the elevator mechanism pretty close to my sont face!! Its a disappointment and looks like it wont be easy to fix, with one small piece of the plastic stick left in the connector to the metal skeleton. I might have to cut the loose stick off as the umbrella is still usable, provided other sticks dont break. I first gave it 3 stars, but then edited it to 4 stars since I really like the umbrella, and my son does too, even with one supporting stick missing!

kids like it, but poor quality

This umbrella is adorable! Exactly as described--easy for a little one to open and close.

Super cute umbrella. My almost 3-year-old loves it.

2-yr old loves bees so she got this in her Easter basked and she LOVES it! Just as pictured, with stand up antennae and all, she is so proud of her bee buh-rella. :) My only complaint is that the metal has bent a little bit with very minimal use, so Im afraid it wont hold up long, especially to a toddler, but we shall see.

Absolutely the cutest umbrella ever!

Irresistible

Really is adorable, and great customer service since they quickly responded and replaced the first one damaged in shipping.
