FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this changing robe?
This changing robe is designed to provide warmth and protection from the elements, especially after water activities or during outdoor adventures, allowing children to change or stay comfortable in cool and wet conditions.
Is the robe suitable for heavy rain?
The robe is waterproof with taped seams, making it suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof outerwear might be necessary.
Can the fleece lining be removed for warmer weather?
No, the fleece lining is integrated into the robe and cannot be removed.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide for children's UK sizing. Ensure to measure your child if unsure, as a proper fit is important for comfort and effectiveness, especially for changing.
What does 'Durable Water Repellent' (DWR) finish mean?
A DWR finish is a treatment applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the wearer dry and the fabric from becoming saturated.
How should I wash the robe to maintain its waterproof properties?
Machine wash at 40 degrees, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR finish.
Are there other designs or colors available?
This specific product is the 'Floral' print in Blue, size 3-4 years. Regatta offers various changing robes with different patterns and sizes, such as the 'Animal' print in Brown for size 5-6 years.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through seams
Ensure the taped seams are intact. If damaged, professional repair may be needed. Check that the garment is correctly sized and not stretched too tightly, which can stress seams.
Fleece lining feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish and the loft of the fleece. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help restore fluffiness.
Water is not repelling from the fabric surface
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Wash the garment according to care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat. For enhanced repellency, consider using a specific outdoor fabric re-proofer spray after washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. You can try lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax.
