FAQs
Is the Poco™ Changing Tote truly machine washable?
Yes, the main tote is designed to be machine washable. Please use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, and always air dry it to maintain its quality and shape.
Can I use this tote even after my child no longer needs a changing bag?
Absolutely! Its versatile design, including a spacious main compartment, multiple pockets, and a dedicated sleeve for a laptop or hydration pack, makes it an excellent everyday tote or backpack for personal use, travel, or gym.
What is the 'AirScape suspension technology'?
AirScape suspension is an advanced backpanel system that offers superior breathability and a comfortable, stable fit. It's designed to allow air circulation while keeping the tote close to your body for balanced carrying comfort, especially in backpack mode.
How do I care for the clip-in changing mat?
The clip-in changing mat should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap after each use. Ensure it is completely dry before clipping it back into the tote to prevent moisture build-up.
What does 'bluesign PRODUCT' mean?
Being a 'bluesign PRODUCT' signifies that the textile manufacturing process meets stringent environmental and safety requirements. It ensures that products are made with responsible use of resources and have the lowest possible impact on people and the environment.
What size laptop or tablet can fit in the interior sleeve?
While exact dimensions are not provided, the interior sleeve is designed to accommodate most standard tablets or small laptops, typically up to 13-14 inches, similar to a hydration pack sleeve.
How do I switch between backpack and tote carry modes?
The tote features adjustable straps that can be reconfigured. Typically, you would unclip or adjust the backpack straps to stow them or secure them in a tote-carry configuration, and then use the integrated top handles for tote mode.
Troubleshooting
Tote feels uncomfortable or heavy when worn as a backpack.
Ensure both shoulder straps are evenly adjusted and that the load inside is distributed balanced. Utilize the AirScape system by letting the tote sit snugly against your back for optimal weight distribution and breathability.
Stroller attachments do not seem secure.
Verify that both clips are fully engaged and properly attached to a stable part of the stroller handle or frame. Avoid overloading the tote when attached to a stroller, as this can affect stability.
Insulated bottle pockets are not keeping items warm/cold effectively.
Ensure that the pockets are fully zipped or closed to maximize insulation. Pre-warming or pre-cooling bottles before placing them in the pockets can also extend temperature retention.
Stains on the tote are not coming out after wiping.
Since the tote is machine washable, pre-treat stubborn stains with a suitable fabric stain remover, then machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water as per care instructions.
Zippers feel stiff or are snagging.
Periodically clean zippers with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. A small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite pencil lead can help smooth their operation.

Setup:
- Initial Adjustment: Upon first use, adjust the shoulder straps (when in backpack mode) to comfortably fit your body. The AirScape suspension is designed to mold to your back for optimal support and breathability.
- Stroller Attachment: Locate the dedicated attachment loops or clips on the tote. Securely fasten these to your stroller's handle or frame as per your stroller's instructions. Always ensure the tote is balanced to prevent tipping.

- The interior sleeve can accommodate most standard hydration reservoirs, tablets, or small laptops (typically up to 13-14 inches, though specific dimensions are not provided).
Care:
- Machine Washable: The tote itself is machine washable. For best results, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using mild detergent. It is recommended to air dry to preserve the material's integrity and shape.
- Stain Resistance: For minor spills, promptly wipe clean with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, pre-treat before machine washing.
- Changing Mat Care: The clip-in changing mat should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry thoroughly before returning it to the tote to prevent mildew.
