Kidorable Review and Giveaway

Giveaway now closed, thank you to everyone who entered and congratulations to...Mrs Soup, comment number 9, who said...Oh man, so in love with the Lotus, the Ladybug and the Lion ones! It would be so hard to choose....
Kidorable says that they specialize in "transforming everyday, functional kids accessories into objects that excite their imaginations and enrich their lives at play." I think the second you see all their styles you'll agree.

Their rain wear is covered with colorful and bold graphics, 3D embellishments, and extra touches like fun edgings on their rain coats. Meaning that while they carry popular themes in children's clothing like frogs and ladybugs, Kidorable more than lives up to their name. Everything they have is simply, more adorable than anything else you've seen.

I think it's also got to be more fun to wear too. After all how can you not have fun romping through puddles and dancing in the rain when you're a pirate, mermaid, or my favorite a blooming lotus flower? That's my favorite part of Kidorable, their matchy-matchy coordinating lines for head to toe cuteness, so you can really bring the design's character to life. See what I mean? C'mon now, how can anyone resist a cutie pie like ER covered in their new Lucky Cat collection? She picked this design out, and seeing her in it certainly brings a smile to my face!

We are really happy with each of the products Kidorable sent us to review. They are as represented online, have unique super sweet designs, and made ER very happy and excited. I've been looking for a rain coat for ER for quite some time, actually. I didn't want to settle but wasn't finding anything I liked, not even at independent stores and boutiques, until the Lucky Cat collection arrived.
It's the details that make Kidorable's collections so special. The Lucky Cat rain coat has yellow piping, an applique kitty pocket that zips inside so treasures don't fall out, clear vinyl fish bowl pocket with a goldfish illustration, and more cute designs like a mouse, kitty paws, butterfly, and flowers all over.
Even the hood of the rain coat is cuteness to the max, kitty ears included! Cause just because you're dry doesn't mean you can't be super fashionable.
I think ER's favorite part of her ensemble are the Lucky Cat rain boots, the day we got them she wore them around the house for most of the afternoon and out that night on errands. They are covered in cute illustrations and even have little kitty tails at the back. Made of thick natural rubber they are sure to keep her feet nice and dry, when she runs straight toward and into big puddles. Why is it that all kids will go out of their way in order to splash through a puddle?I was the most excited to see the umbrella, ER is obsessed with them and we've already gone through one that broke rather easily. I knew the second I held the Lucky Cat umbrella it was much higher quality. It's more substantial and you can really get a good grip on the handle.

I like how Kidorable's dome shape is wide and will keep her dry despite her wobbling it about when she walks. Plus unlike most kid's umbrellas, it's big enough for me and ER to share in a downpour when I have to pick her up and run for it. Yet it's not too big or bulky.

Kidorable describes their umbrellas as whimsical imagination tents, and I'd have to agree! The feet and ear details is what puts the Lucky Cat one over the top in cuteness for me. Would you like to see how adorable Kidorable's umbrella's are for yourself?

  19. They're all incredibly adorable! Wow! Too much! We would get so much use out of it, as well. I think that I would have to go with the Frog, because my daughter or son could use it. Also, my daughter is practically obsessed with frogs! We got her an aquafrog so she would settle down with picking up frogs outside and wanting to keep them. Thanks for the awesome site!
