Quick answer: For children, choose an umbrella that matches their size — 12 inch for small children, 17–19 inch for older kids — with rounded rib tips and an opening they can manage themselves. Bright rainbow, dot and printed designs make umbrellas easy to spot and more fun to carry. See our umbrella price list for current prices of Classic Umbrella's Sky Umbrella kids range in packs of 6 and full-size rainbow umbrellas for adults.

Kids umbrella size: what fits which child?

Size Typically suits Our options
12 inch Small children (pre-school, early primary) Multi Color Kids, Dot Print Kids
17 inch Older primary-school children 17inch Print Kids, Multi Color Kids, Dot Print Kids
19 inch Older children who want a bigger canopy Kite Sky Umbrella
Hat umbrella Play, picnics, light rain — hands free Hat Umbrella for Kids

Simple test: when your child holds the open umbrella with the arm slightly bent, the canopy edge should not drag on the ground or hit people's faces. If it feels heavy or wobbly, go one size down.

Safety checklist for parents

  • Rounded rib tips — protect eyes and faces in crowds and at school gates. Our 17inch Print Kids Umbrella is listed with rounded safety tips.
  • Child-friendly opening — a mechanism your child can operate without pinching fingers.
  • Light weight — easy to hold for the walk to school.
  • Bright colours — easier to see on rainy, dark roads.
  • Short handle grip — sized for small hands.
  • No long sharp ferrule (the tip at the top).

Types of kids umbrellas

Printed kids umbrellas

Fun prints that children recognise as "theirs" — useful at school, where many umbrellas look the same. See the Printed Kids Umbrella and 17inch Print Kids; printed kids umbrellas can be used in rain and sun.

Dot (polka) print

A timeless pattern in 12 and 17 inch — the Dot Print Kids Umbrella. More dot styles in our polka dot guide.

Multi-colour / rainbow

Every panel a different colour — cheerful and easy to spot. The Multi Color Kids Umbrella comes in 12 and 17 inch.

Kite umbrella

A 19 inch kite-style design for older kids — see the kite umbrella guide.

Hat umbrella

Worn on the head with an adjustable elastic headband, leaving both hands free — great for play and picnics. More in the hat umbrella guide.

Rainbow umbrellas for adults

Rainbow umbrellas aren't only for kids. A multi-colour canopy brightens grey monsoon days and is easy to find in a crowd or a car park.

Teaching kids to use and care for umbrellas

  1. Open the umbrella away from other people, pointing it up and forward.
  2. In crowds, keep a safe distance from others or close the umbrella — even when a child holds it high, the tips can reach adults' faces.
  3. Close it before entering buses, school buildings and shops.
  4. At home, leave it open to dry — then fold it.
  5. Write the child's name on the handle so it doesn't get swapped at school.
