ISO: replacement umbrella for kiddie picnic table

[swampnurse]

I know I can order one from Step 2 or Little Tikes for $20 plus tax and shipping, but there has got to be a cheaper way. Help me find it, please! It doesnt have to be an official Step 2 even though the table is. Just has to be kiddie sized with a small diameter pole.

Well, i did manage to find the Step2 for $12.99 + $4.99 shipping so I will get one, but i am always on the lookout for another since they don't last too long. I would like a nice, sturdy one, as opposed to the flimsy Step2 and Little Tikes ones. Th eKidKraft sets seem to have such nice ones, but i don't need a whole new picnic set.

they are more expensive that what you paid, but they appear to be good quality.

I think a beach umbrella might work...one of the ones with a skinnier post. Our umbrella is shredded and I keep meaning to try the beach umbrella (that came from someplace like Eckerd) in it. Might be a cheaper option to try...

Ikea has el cheapo beach umbrellas too. (Got ours a few years ago so I don't remember...it wasn't more than $20 maybe). It might give more coverage than a kiddy umbrella.

I ordered the Step2 umbrella from walmart.com a couple years ago since Step2 was backordered at the time.
