    How amazing is this! So simply, easy to use and a lifesaver for mums like myself who struggle to get baby in the car on rainy days without getting severely drenched. I’d love to review the doorbrella for all the busy struggling mums like myself who wish they’d invented something like this earlier to save the wet tshirt contests at school pick up when it spontaneously rains and being the good mum you are…you sacrifice every inch of your umbrella for your children 🙂

    I have a child with extra needs who is very “wriggly” whilst putting on a seatbelt, this would save me getting soaked on rainy days. Love the idea!

    No more getting soaked during school and kinder drop offs and pick ups! For some reason in Melbourne it is nearly guaranteed to pour down with rain at these times and be sunny again when we are home and thoroughly drenched! It’s always such a nightmare trying to juggle easily distracted toddlers, school bags, car keys, opening the car doors, doing up seat belts, and holding umbrellas to try and stay even a little bit dry, being able to load up the car hands free and drier would make it a lot less stressful and rushed! I also like the fact that the holder itself seems easy to attach and leave on the car permanently for use as needed without looking garish or tacky. Would love to put the doorbrella through its paces!

    What a great idea! I live in far north Queensland and when it rains it pours!! The school runs are particularly difficult when it rains, I am trying to avoid my 2 kids getting wet as well as back packs, homework and show and share projects. I have started wrapping the seat belt around my umbrella when I am getting my kids out of the car but it takes too long to put in place so the inside of the car gets quite wet and when my hands are full it is quite difficult to unwrap the umbrella to shut the door. Not very practical, unlike this great idea! Pick me to review your product and I will give you my honest opinion using it in far north qld rain. Thankyou!

    OMG the struggle with handbags, school bags and “today’s art project/craft” when it’s raining is one of the biggest struggles! Trying to get a 5 year old in the car as well as everything else while she’s trying to tell me about her day or watch what I learnt today! And I’m just like “please just get in the car were getting drenched!” Cause I’m not an octopus that can also hold an umbrella too!!

    Getting kids out of the car in the rain whilst fiddling with an umbrella is the worst. Getting in is probably the worst bit actually – wet umbrella dripping everywhere as you try to fold it and not get soaked as kid in the back yells ‘lets go mum!’
    Actually truthfully, the worst bit is my hair gets wet. All that time straightening it, wasted!

    Love that Doorbella is one size fits all – won’t have the problem of having umbrellas that don’t fit. Wrangling groceries, bags, and toddler in rainy weather is never fun. Would love to test-drive Doorbella out. Hopefully it will take the stress off going out when the weather is crappy outside.

    This umbrella is great for the multitasker like myself. I consistently find I’m always trying to juggle a couple of things at one time, and putting bub in the car is no exception with putting the pram in the boot, wrangling the dog, and trying to pack the shopping away. The rain always seems to make things a little more difficult and having a doorbrella would make life just that little bit easier when the weather takes a turn for the worse. Imagine what I could do with a free hand!?

    If it’s not raining here, you can guarantee it will be at 3pm. I’m the Mum with my umbrella balanced precariously between the roof of the car and the door, trying to get my son’s backpack off, and him strapped in the car while a torrent of rain runs down my back into my pants! This is such a brilliant idea, especially when it’s windy as well and/or my son bumps the umbrella trying to get into his seat ensuring we both get soaked! I’d love to put this to the test!

    Let’s face it, I’m unco…
    I’m a mother of 2 children and I think I can get out of the car with the grace and beauty of a white swan, with one toddler holding my hand and the capsule holding the newborn in the other. But reality is, I’m the mother you see trying to wrestle a toddler under her arm, capsule in the other with a crying newborn, with keys in the mouth while holding an umbrella under my chin against my shoulder. Doorbrella will give me the opportunity to maybe, just maybe, not have the grace and beauty of a swan but an achievable Muscovy duck waddling along because I’m still going to have to wrestle a toddler.

    The Doorbrella would keep me extremely dry whilst I get the kids in and out of the car for school drop off and pick up. More importantly sports practice and after games when they climb into the car with dirty footy boots or sports shoes. When it is pouring with rain they can Keep their feet out of the door shake, tap or take off the shoes. Bonus they will stay dry and won’t have to have mud tracked through my car.

    I have a newborn and a 3 year old, I would love a Doorbrella. It would make it so much easier to get both kids in without ending up needing to change my clothes after because lets be real holding an umbrella and putting a 3yo in the car let alone a newborn is near impossible and even when you do manage to somehow hold an umbrella while putting the kids in their seats it never stay in a position to keep you dry when you are more focused on getting them in safely and as quick as possible, most of the time I ditch the umbrella and just end up wet. It would be great to have the chance to test out a Doorbrella.

    I have a 2 year old, 8 month old and 9 year old.

    Would love to trial this so I don’t have to look like a drowned rat after getting my son in and out of his carseat! It looks strong enough and doesn’t look like it will damage my car.

    this would make life so much easier,its so simple, its right there in front of you, no searching in glove box, bending down to search for it, saves time,and my back,and one less thing to juggle and think about, a brilliant idea.

    As a first time mother, I struggle with getting my son into and out of his car seat. Having a Doorbrella would help me immeasurably during any rainy periods so I can keep my son dry and hopefully illness free!

    I’d love to review Doorbrella! Im a mum of 8 children – so we are a busy household of 10! My day varies from juggling teenagers, to primary aged kids, to preschoolers – including a 4 month old. Doorbrella would allow me to keep my little ones dry getting in and out of our car for playgroup and play dates and my older kids for school and training. It’d be awesome for rainy nights when high school formals or parties are on, when hair all perfect!! It’d be great for my husband and I too with shopping or school projects to carry in. Basically I could test it in so many different life and family phases!

    I’d love to review this product as I am now going to be a mum of 2 so this would make getting in and out of the car on a raining day just that little bit easier. And hey lets face it us mums very rarely have time to do our hair but when we do it would be nice to not have it get wet on a rainy day

    First of all, I love the name, Doorbella. It sounds so fancy and posh yet makes me giggle inside because it’s clever and funny, and I love humour. The name makes me happy, and the thought of having an easy to grab umbrella when I need it most makes me even happier. This is something I’ve been needing since I had my first child, over 12 years ago! With 3 kids, this would be a luxury. Even just using it with my youngest, who is 5 in 5 days, while I stand in the rain putting her in and out of her car seat, would save many a soaking and/or item that’s just been bought from being spoiled by rain.

    I think you should pick me and my kids as one of the fortunate fifteen families to test the Doorbella out because no one should see a cavewoman type lady with raindrops all over her spectacles, fumbling with car seat clips with giant frizzed out hair as her only accessible umbrella. I think my kids would be excited to use it too, and when it’s boiling hot it would be a huge blessing, making or breaking getting sunburnt from standing with or without shade. Oh the convenience, and oh the possibilities; please pick us!

    What an awesome invention, would make getting the kids in the car in the rain so much easier – hands free cover. Sometimes I stay at home just for the reason it is so hard to get the kids in and out of the car in the rain.

    What a fantastic idea, I wish this was invented when my kids were little. I have grandchildren that I’m often picking up and it would work with them though.

    I am a bit sceptical that it will work well, but I would love to test it out, to see if I’m wrong. I’m from Melbourne, so we all know we get all seasons in one day ! Think it would be useful for hot weather too.

    Perfect idea. My youngest toddler always wants to get himself into his car seat on his own so that would be handy. He also as a tube in his chest that can’t get wet, so this would be a great relief

    Nice one. Now I can tend to me baby and the groceries without getting wet, frustrated or dropping something.

    Doorbrella will be perfect during the Queensland wet season / stormy summer. Getting to and from car with child, groceries, bags, etc and staying dry can be challenging . Doorbrella will help walking into places dripping wet and cold. Thank you

    I love the fact that it will hold the umbrella in place and my Bub would not get drenched

  123. Avatar of Jess

    I have 2 kids, soon to have a 3rd. Juggling preschool and school runs in the rain will be less stressful with the Doorbrella. We don’t have carport either so leaving the house when it’s wet is disastrous.

    When I put my kids onto the car I always get wet. Especailly when it’s raining but with wind, it’s very hard to hold the umbrella while tightening up the seat belt, and the umbrella is easily blown away too. My two umbrellas have been broken because of this. I have 3 kids and raining days make my parenting job harder and hope doorbrella would give my a hand.

    what a great idea, i would love to try and review this. in our regional town their is minimal covered parking at our shops meaning either don’t go or get soaked! id love to try this and then maybe shopping and other outings would be a little less stressful

    Having 3 children doorbrella is such a great invention it keeps your hands free so you can get the kids in the car & you keep dry.

  127. Avatar of Danielle

    Where has this been all my life? Getting both energetic kids in and out of the car while juggling the groceries while it pours down, while I’m getting soaked. I need this in my life, I’d be super happy if I got to try it. It also would help our family as the kids have played hide and seek with the only umbrella we have.

    I absolutely need this! I live in Tas and while most of Australia are enjoying something called a “heatwave” we are frozen still in time (its still snowing) it’s like some sort of winter time capsule Here. I have 3 young kiddies including a toddler and a new baby so getting in and out of the car in the (constant) rain is beyond frustrating! Not to mention we all get soaked in the process of me trying to clip a capsule in and wrangle an angry toddler into her car seat, she usually decides to throw the biggest car seat tanties while Mum is having a cold shower from Mother Nature. The doorbrella would be a life & sanity saver for our family!

    Would love to try this product. With two toddlers to get into the car and strapped in to their car seats it is impossible for me to hold an umbrella too so I always get wet when it rains.

    What a fantastic idea!
    I live in north Queensland and have 5 kids. I get absolutely soaked at school pick up/drop off in the wet season.
    I also have a bub and it’s so hard struggling holding bub, umbrella, keys etc. I end up completely soaked and it takes forever to juggle things to keep bub dry and the rest of the kids dry and into the car!
    Just love this idea!!!

    I love that I wouldn’t fell like I was so much having tp footy pass everything into the car (including kids, not literally )in fear of everything getting wet and kids getting woken up from drops of rain falling on them as I love them to and from the car.

    While trying to juggle bub and getting my other daughter out of the car especially on school days can be a struggle on dry days rainy days are that much more tricky! This would make life so much easier for our family and keep us all that bit dryer on those wet days!

    I love this idea. It’s a struggle to avoid the rain in southern Tasmania. Once I’ve strapped my brood in, my back and bottom usually wet. Not an attractive look!

    What a simple but amazing invention! To be able to take my time getting the kids in the car and have us all come out of it dry would be an awesome feat! Would love to test it out!!

    I always try and prop the brolly up on the car roof and door. One of these would be so much easier. Especially dealing with a fussy baby when picking up and dropping off the bigger kids at schoil.

  139. Avatar of Bridie

    This looks amazing. Being that my son has a developmental delay, getting in and out of the car is much more time consuming that it should be. My son is old enough to want to get in and out on his own but not quite coordinated enough to manage so I have to be very hands on. By the time I get Mr 6 into his car seat in the rain we are both saturated. Something like this would be such a massive help and wouldn’t make him feel pressured to move faster than he’s physically able.

    I have two boys (3 and almost 2). I dread childcare pick up on a rainy day because I have to try and get both kids in the car while keeping them as dry as possible and away from the other cars in the car park. Usually in the process, I end up soaking wet and it makes for a miserable trip home!

    This seems like a lifesaving product, and I can’t believe where it’s been all my life! No more getting drenched in water while the kids are snuggling into their seats and me running around the car to strap them in!

    I love this invention as my husband always tries to hold the umbrella while getting the kids in the car but there really isn’t enough room in the doorway and we still get wet. Also with 2 little one’s you always need a spare hand especially when alone.

    What a fantastic idea, so many of us struggle with getting a baby or young kids into the car while either fighting with an unruly umbrella or deciding to drown in the down pour!

    This is a great idea for anyone really. From putting kids in to using it on a rainy day with shopping. I know i would appreciate the help of having something to hold my brolly while struggling to get my babies into the car.
