I discovered Kidorable through and ad on another mom blogger's website. I saw the cute and irresistible rain gear and I was hooked!
They have a great line of children's outerwear and themed products. Whether it is rain gear, winter hats and scarves or backpacks they take a theme and do it better than anyone!
If I had a girl I would love to buy the traditional ladybug line

or the lotus lines' backpack or umbrella.


When Kidorable agreed to let me do a review and host a giveaway on my site I spent quite some time deciding what to get and for whom.
I decided to let Gabriel be the recipient of this particular product. I figured that if Gabriel used the items then when he outgrew them the two younger boys can use them as well.
But Gabriel is his own little man. He first thought that he would go with the pirate set. We liked the pirate styling to the coat with the hat detailing, the great ragged edges to the rain boots and the sword that pops out of the umbrella.


In the end he chose the new space hero line.

So we ordered the space hero rain jacket, umbrella and boots. When it arrived we were surprised by a couple of things. One was that they were even more detailed and exciting in real life. Gabriel had a great time picking out the differences from one boot to the other.
As a parent I really enjoyed the quality of the items. The boots were not thin, they were substantial but still very light weight. The rain jacket was very well styled and cut. The sizing was true to size. The material was flexible, but again more substantial than those found in chain stores. And I really liked the construction of the umbrella. It opens with the ease of a push button, slides easily up into place and then stays there. The spindles are of a thick construction, so I am not expecting them to snap or bend easily. Safety wise, all of the edges are covered with the plastic protective pieces.
The umbrella also has Gabriel's favorite thing, the molded alien handle. He loves it! He also loves the hood to the raincoat that makes him feel like an astronaut.
As we are mid-winter here in upstate New York, here is Gabriel sporting his lovely spring rain gear. He is on cloud nine, and I am confident this will last for more than one Desrochers boy!
Kidorable has also been gracious to offer a FREE kid's umbrella of your choice to a Momma D and Da Boyz reader!

The Space Hero umbrella most interests me, but I'd be getting the umbrella for my nephew or niece, so they'd have to decide if I won. :-)

I favorited you on Technorati. I'm brand new to Technorati (my username is "anthyq") and it's telling me that favorites are not currently visible, so it may not show up right away? I don't know.
