Just the right size for a young child or toddler.  Light weight.  The colors are bright and cheery.  The umbrella ribs at the bottom of the canvas all have little round balls so there are no sharp points.  The open and close mechanism is just a slide up and down.  There is no button to push so it's easy for a small child or toddler to use.  Our 3 year old already had the matching raincoat and rain boots.
