> 24 hourI got this for my granddaughters birthday. Within a month it had ripped off one of the pointed corners. Cute, but not durable.

> 24 hourThe connection of fabric to spoke is only a single thread. The first gust of wind ripped it. I was very disappointed as (while I know kids items don’t last forever) I hoped to get a season out of it.

> 24 hourBought this for my grandson who was umbrella averse, but is fire engine obsessed, so I thought it was worth a try. As cool in person as depicted. Wish I could give it 4.5 stars, because it is so cool, but not the best quality. But, for a 3 year old, cool trumps quality, so 5 stars. Not sure how long it will last, but will update if necessary.

> 24 hourI bought the Stephen Joseph Butterfly Umbrella (and the Watermelon one, under a separate listing) from Amazon and am pretty pleased. They are bright and colorful, sized correctly for a three year-old, and durable enough to survive moderate use. These are replacements for toddler sized umbrellas from another brand (I cant remember which, they make matching raincoats) that broke after one use. The previous umbrellas were vinyl, glued to the thin aluminum spokes. When the spokes were stressed the vinyl tore immediately and the spokes were stressed as soon as any weight was put on the sides of the umbrella. This umbrella by Stephen Joseph is built more like an adults umbrella with safety features for a child. The tip is protected by a plastic ball (I had to re-glue one of them, but it was pretty easy),and the spokes are also protected by sturdy plastic tips. The open/close mechanism is buttonless and easy to engage just by pushing up the center along the shaft. The waterproof nylon material is hooked to the spokes with little thread loops. The kids play with it around the house while its closed; using it as a cane or a big stick or a hook. Its survived this so far, but Ive cautioned them every time I see them playing with it. I think these are built in a reasonable fashion for kids and with very nice designs. Id definitely purchase these again until the girls outgrow them.

> 24 hourOur little girl was so happy when the Easter Bunny brought her a pretty mermaid umbrella! Her dad and I, though, were happy at how incredibly well built it is, sturdy and easily opened and closed. Stephen Joseph will be our go-to brand for umbrellas for the next few years!

> 24 hourCute little kids umbrella. This is a good umbrella if your little one struggles with a heavy full size umbrella. Be prepared though, it is sized for 5yrs old and younger in my opinion. Its quite a dainty size. We have used it about 4 times so far without it breaking.

> 24 hourWe got two of them to give to our grandkids for Christmas. Both the 4 and 5½ year old opened it right up without any help. Its just the right size not to stab their classmates eye out, but still kept them dry!!!
