For a child, nothing makes rain more bearable than an umbrella or boots with their favourite hero. Hello Kitty, Frozen, Paw Patrol, Disney, Marvel or Harry Potter: these characters make children want to go out, even in drizzle. But how do you find your way, and what should you check before buying? Here is our guide, product by product.
Why choose an officially licensed product?
An officially licensed item is made with the permission of the character’s rights holder. For you, that means faithful illustrations, recognisable colours and a brand that stands behind what it sells. At Acheter Parapluie, the character products shown below are licensed models, as stated on each product page.
Beyond the character, always check the same points as for a classic model: a waterproof fabric, a solid frame and a size suited to the child. Our guide children’s umbrellas: which model at which age details these criteria.
Hello Kitty: softness and pastel colours
Hello Kitty remains one of the safe bets for little girls. The Hello Kitty Umbrella Pink is a compact model with a multi-layer vinyl coating that helps block UV and ensures good waterproofing. Other versions exist: Red, Automatic White and Clear, which offers good visibility for the youngest. The whole range is in the Hello Kitty collection.
Frozen: from head to toe
Frozen is the franchise that extends best: you can dress the child from head to toe. The Frozen Kids’ Umbrella Pink is compact, easy to handle, with one-hand automatic opening. The Frozen Rain Boots Blue are decorated with glitter and an image of Elsa, in sizes 26 to 31. Find everything in the Frozen collection.
Paw Patrol: gloves for winter heroes
When the cold arrives, the Paw Patrol Kids’ Gloves Blue and Pink are designed for little hands: comfort, warmth and a playful pattern, easy to put on and take off. To compare with other winter models, see our winter gloves guide and the gloves collection.
Disney: Mickey, Minnie, Stitch and princesses
The Disney range covers several universes. The Transparent Mickey Umbrella lets the child see ahead, a real plus for safety on the pavement. The Disney Stitch Umbrella Blue will please fans of the most endearing alien, and the Princess Kids’ Umbrella Pink appeals to fairy-tale lovers. Compare the models in the Disney collection and the Mickey and Minnie collection.
Marvel: Spider-Man, Venom and the super-heroes
For super-hero fans, the Marvel Spider-Man Umbrella Red picks up the graphic look of the costume, with a premium canopy and a fully automatic mechanism. Other heroes are available: Venom, Captain America and Iron Man. All are gathered in the Marvel collection.
Harry Potter: for young wizards
The Harry Potter Umbrella Light Green and the Red are aimed at fans of the saga, young and old. Discover them in the Harry Potter collection.
What to check before buying
- The size – an umbrella that’s too big hinders the child, one that’s too small doesn’t protect.
- Visibility – a transparent model helps the child see the road; a bright colour makes them more visible to drivers.
- Safety – prefer mechanisms the child can handle without pinching their fingers.
- The licence – check the official mention on the product page.
