The Dry Transfer Umbrella

The Dry Transfer Umbrella

Stay dry getting your little one in and out of the car, with both hands free.

Keep you and your little one dry while you get them in and out of the car seat. The umbrella mounts to the outside of your car and covers the door, so you can settle your baby in without rushing. When you are done, unhook it from the holder and it is a normal umbrella again.

It goes on walks too. Attach it to your pram handle for shelter from the rain and the sun's UV rays.

Designed in Newcastle Australia and shaped by a real community of parents.

The Dry Transfer Umbrella is a prototype and is not available to buy yet. We are testing it with real parents.

 Be Notified Once It's Available

Why parents will love it

Hands free in one motion

One motion to put up. Both hands are immediately free for your baby, your bag and your sanity.

Ideal for:

  • Getting a baby in and out of the car seat in the rain
  • Loading the car
  • Daycare and school drop-off

Car and pram ready

Designed to fit most cars and most prams. It attaches to your car and to your pram handle wherever you need it.

Every car and pram is shaped a little differently, so fit is one of the main things we are testing. Tell us what you drive when you sign up.

Made for little ones

We have had parents involved in the design from the start. It needs to be safe, sturdy and secure.

  • Mounts on the outside of the car, away from the car seat
  • No sharp edges
  • No small parts within reach of little hands
  • Nothing to pinch little fingers

Parked use only

The umbrella is for use while your car is parked. Take it off before you drive, every time.

Off the car, it is a normal umbrella you can carry to the door.

Waterproof and UV resistant

Premium materials and considered design. Waterproof and UV resistant, and made to be used again and again.

Rain or shine

Made for rainy days, and just as handy for a bit of shade over the car door when the sun is out.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

  • Attach the umbrella to your car while it is parked. It covers you and the open door while you get your little one in or out, then it comes off before you drive.
  • Yes. Take it off the car and it is a normal umbrella you can carry to the door.
  • It is an umbrella, so it is not for stormy days. If it is too windy for a normal umbrella, it is too windy for this one.
  • Protecting your paint, glass and trim is part of the design brief, and it is one of the things we are testing on different cars.
  • It is designed to be compact enough to live in the boot or under the pram. We will share the final size once the design is finished.
  • Pricing has not been set yet. Everyone on the notify list hears first.

How this crazy adventure began...

I'm a first time mum and when my daughter Rio was six weeks old, a gust of wind took my umbrella mid-transfer and a postie had to chase it down the street for me.

I stood there, newborn in my arms, completely mortified thinking…this shouldn't be this hard.

So I'm building the product I need, and turns out other parents want it too!

WHAT MUMS TOLD US

Before we designed a single component, we asked real Australian mums about their rainy day car transfers.

"I used my own body as the umbrella."
"I stay home on rainy days."
"I looked like a sad circus act."
"My toddler stayed dry. I did not."
