Although rated as a 'toy', my Grand-Daughter utilizes this umbrella as a necessity. She loves the fact that it matches many of the colors in her outfits on rainy days. If only there were a 'Hello Kitty' Rain-Coat to match, all would prove Wonderful. It held up pretty good during our windy days of more than 20-30 gusts. Thanks for this opportunity to give her something else 'Hello Kitty' useful.
