This
looked really pretty, eye catching & bright. The design is great, bright, and pretty & immediately
catches the eye. This was ideal for my
daughter. This coat is excellent quality
and very hard wearing. This coat kept her dry & the inside lining kept her
warm also. My daughter found this coat
very comfortable to wear and she could move easily around in it. This coat was an ideal fit and no irritation
from cuffs etc. The coat is so easy to washand
colour stays bright. Not faded after quite a few washes. I think this is very
good value for money. I personally feel
Velcro cuffs are better than elasticated ones. I wouldn’t change anything on the
design as it is just great. I would purchase
this and highly recommend. Great product, my daughter loves it & the fact
that the colour changes in rain is great.Claire Macmillan – Holly 4 Years

Very
bright and colourful.it felt like it could be warm as well as waterproof. Most
raincoats are thin so not good when the temperature drops. I personally felt
the design was not really age appropriate for a 7 year old. The coat is practical but I feel the design
is more suited for younger children. It
feels a good strong coat as well as soft on the inside. James loved wearing this and it kept him warm
too. He said it also kept him dry in the
bad rain. I didn’t feel the length on the arms was quite
right for James would have preferred them just slightly longer. If I was buying
the coat this would have been a little problem for me. James hasn’t mentioned any problems with the
fit of the coat, he only mentioned he didn’t like the cuffs and they kept
"bugging" him. I am not a fan
of the hand wash only products. Mainly because I have such a busy household and
I am disabled. Taking to time to hand
wash this was difficult for me. I wouldn’t have wanted to iron this as l dried
it flat and didn’t look like it needed ironing after a wash anyway. I don’t think it looks like it should cost as
much as it does. James actually stated
he wanted it to have elasticated cuffs as the rain was still going up his arm a
bit. The main thing for me is the size.
Although if it did have elasticated cuffs maybe it wouldn’t look as short in
the arms? I will continue to use it. James loves this coat and his friends at
school like it as well. We have had people in queues in shops etc. asking where
it was from. I would recommend as I
think it is a brilliant design maybe a few different varieties for the older
end of the targeted age group. This coat
was really welcomed by myself and James. He loved its bright colours and showed
off to as many people as possible what happened when it got wet. Think at one
point he was willing it to rain. James was also very easy to spot in the
playground on a morning when he was playing as it stood out against most other
dull coloured jackets. He stayed dry and warm when he needed to. It is a very
good quality product. It did make wet school runs fun for him as he watched it
changing colour. If possible I would change the cuffs to be elasticated as
these are more versatile than Velcro in my opinion. Stacey Bettison – James 7 years

This
looked really good quality and great design.
A very practical raincoat for my daughter. Very well made and good quality. This was a great coat and kept my daughter
dry in the rain and also kept her warm.
This was lovely and comfortable for my daughter to wear. Very easy to launder. Washed fine on 40 degrees and didn’t need
ironing. I would not pay the RRP for this item as you can get Ski coats that do
the same thing. However, they do not
change colour when wet so this does offer something different. I personally prefer Velcro cuffs as they can
be adapted to the child. My children are tall so I need to tighten the sleeves
at the wrist as they are usually too long. The only thing I would change is
maybe the shape and style of the hood.
We will continue to use this. I
will mention to friends and family if asked about this coat. This is a great coat, good quality but price
too high. Sarah Welsh – Leia 3 Years 6
