Hands free umbrella

**cathtee** · 03-10-2012, 08:15 PM

I have just used my hands free umbrella for the first time today, what a great idea so useful especially as 2 lo's walking so have a free hand and push buggy in rain

It's a bit pricey £18 plus p&p off e-bay but definately worth it

Do they wobble about a lot as you walk?

**jillplum** · 04-10-2012, 09:37 AM

Can yo imagine how embarrasing that would be, I think I would rather be wet, one on the pushchair sounds good though, thanks for link.

**cathtee** · 04-10-2012, 06:48 PM

just seen the link for e-bay for hands free brolly so funny

Glad my hands free doesn't look like that, think its frightened off the rain not had any since i used it.

Katiekoo to answer your question I didn't notice any wobble just glad to be dry

**appleblossom** · 04-10-2012, 08:10 PM

I had one. When it wasn't windy it wobbled about a lot and drooped over, was forever adjusting it. When it was windy it either fell over or blew inside out. I binned it.

**Tazmin68** · 05-10-2012, 12:46 PM

Sorry folks
I sold mine on ebay as not very impressed with it. kept falling down and no good in wind or heavy rain. But that is what I though of it.
