FAQs

What age is this umbrella suitable for?

This umbrella is recommended for children aged 3 years and older.

What are the dimensions of the umbrella?

The umbrella has a height of 70 cm and weighs 0.265 kg.

Is the umbrella safe for children to operate?

Yes, it features an anti-pinch system for safe opening and closing of the canopy, designed to protect little fingers.

How should I care for the wooden handle?

We recommend drying the lacquered wooden handle thoroughly after each use to ensure its longevity. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.

Where is this umbrella made?

This umbrella is designed and manufactured in Vilac's workshop in Moirans en Montagne (Jura), France.

What materials is the umbrella made from?

The umbrella is primarily made from wood (beech wood for the handle) and features carbon ribs for sturdiness.

Does the umbrella comply with safety standards?

Yes, the umbrella complies with the European safety standard EN71.

Troubleshooting

Umbrella does not open or close smoothly.

Ensure there are no obstructions caught in the ribs or fabric. Check that the anti-pinch mechanism is functioning correctly. If resistance persists, do not force it and inspect for damage.

Lacquered handle shows signs of wear or peeling.

This can occur with excessive moisture exposure. Ensure the handle is dried thoroughly after each use. For minor wear, it cannot be repaired but continued proper drying will prevent further degradation.

Fabric appears faded or damaged.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Spot clean only with a damp cloth as instructed; avoid harsh chemicals.

Ribs feel loose or bent.

Carbon ribs are designed for sturdiness but can be damaged if the umbrella is used improperly (e.g., as a toy or for support). Gentle bending back into place might be possible for minor issues, but significant bending may compromise structural integrity. Avoid using the umbrella in very strong winds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This umbrella requires no assembly. It is ready to use straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility:

Designed for children aged 3 years and older. Complies with standard EN71.

Care:

To ensure the longevity of the lacquered wooden handle and the canvas, it is recommended to dry the umbrella thoroughly after each use. Allow it to air dry completely before closing and storing. Avoid exposing the wooden handle to prolonged dampness or direct heat, which can affect the lacquer and wood.

Cleaning:

For the canvas, spot clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the printed design. The wooden handle should also be wiped with a slightly damp cloth and dried immediately.
