It has long been known that umbrellas (yes... even those nice child-proof plastics versions) become mere decorative objects in wet weather when used by children - they break, the rain angle outsmarts the position of the umbrella and eye-poking incidents are inevitable. But, when compared with the prospects of having to don the good ol' yellow raincoat, not even the option of the separate yellow "fireman's hat" is enough to entice your precious little ones into wearing one.
Penny Scallan has come to the rescue - stylish, vibrant raincoats to make your child stand out from the pool of yellow ducklings in the playground. Made from high quality PVC (not the cheap and cheerful sort) and fully lined with soft jersey-cotton, Penny Scallan raincoats don't have the stiff, cardboard feeling of its yellow counterparts. If only they came in my size.
