Kids’ Flying Wanbrella: Fun and Safe in the Rain
Making rainy outings enjoyable, the ‘Kids’ Flying Wanbrella’ (3,190 JPY tax included) features a lively design with numerous dogs appearing to fly. The umbrella is constructed with a safety runner, preventing fingers from getting pinched during opening and closing, and requires minimal force to operate. Its handle, ferrule, and tips are all rounded for added safety. Made with clear vinyl fabric, it ensures children maintain a clear view of their surroundings, even when fully covered.
Key features of the Kids’ Flying Wanbrella include:
-
Reflectors: Reflective piping along the edge of the umbrella enhances visibility in dim light. It also comes with a star-shaped reflector keychain.
-
Name Tags: Three dedicated spots for writing names are provided: inside the umbrella, on the umbrella fastener, and on the star-shaped reflector keychain.
Parents can even enjoy matching their children, as an adult-sized “Flying Wanbrella” is also available, allowing for delightful parent-child link coordination. The adult version is priced at 2,640 JPY (tax included) and features a 61 cm rib length with a jump-open mechanism. Find the adult umbrella here: Adult Flying Wanbrella.
