FAQs

What age range is this changing robe suitable for?

This is a junior changing robe, available in children's sizes (e.g., 9-10 for this variant). Please refer to the size guide to ensure the correct fit for your child's age and height.

Can this robe be worn as a regular jacket?

While it offers excellent weather protection and warmth, its oversized design is specifically for changing underneath. It is not intended as a form-fitting everyday coat, and may feel too bulky for extended wear outside of changing or warming up.

Is the Regatta Junior Changing Robe fully waterproof?

Yes, it is crafted with Hydrafort 5000 fabric, which is waterproof and windproof, providing reliable protection from the elements. However, like all waterproof gear, consistent exposure to heavy rain over extended periods or damage to the fabric can reduce its efficacy.

How do I clean the changing robe?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Air dry only, do not tumble dry or iron. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.

What is the Borg fleece lining made of?

The Borg fleece lining is made from 100% Polyester, providing excellent insulation and a soft, comfortable feel.

Does the robe have pockets?

Info needed: [The product description does not specify pockets. Typically, changing robes include pockets for hands or small items.]

Troubleshooting

Robe feels cold or isn't warming up the child.

Ensure the robe is fully dry on the inside before use. The fleece works best when dry. Also, check that the child isn't too wet or already severely chilled; the robe helps retain warmth, but it can't generate it from extreme cold.

Water no longer beads off the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be wearing off. This is normal with use and washing. Re-proof the outer fabric using a specialist technical wash-in or spray-on re-proofer suitable for waterproof outdoor gear. Ensure the robe is clean before re-proofing.

Robe feels too bulky or cumbersome.

This robe is designed to be oversized to facilitate easy changing underneath. Its bulkiness is a feature, not a flaw. If you find it too cumbersome for general wear, remember its primary purpose is as a changing robe, not an everyday jacket.

Fleece lining feels matted or less soft after washing.

To maintain fleece softness, avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as these can block the fibers and reduce their insulating properties. Air drying completely will also help maintain its loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth and comfort post-activity due to Borg fleece lining.
  • Provides privacy and ease of changing in public or outdoor settings.
  • Superior protection from rain and wind with Hydrafort 5000 fabric.
  • Durable material suitable for frequent outdoor use by children.
  • Unisex design suitable for all children.

Cons

  • Oversized fit is not suitable as a regular everyday coat.
  • Can be bulky for packing or carrying due to its generous size and lining.
  • May feel heavy when wet.
  • 100% Polyester material may not be as breathable as natural fibers for prolonged wear (though not its primary purpose).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using the Regatta Junior Waterproof Changing Robe requires no complex setup. Simply put it on over your existing clothes or directly after removing wet garments. Ensure the child's size matches the robe for optimal comfort and changing space. The oversized design is intentional for ease of movement during changing, so it will feel larger than a standard coat.

Compatibility

This changing robe is designed for unisex use, making it suitable for all children. It is ideal for a wide range of activities including:

  • Swimming (pool or open water)
  • Beach trips
  • Surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking
  • Post-sports activities (football, rugby, athletics)
  • Camping and outdoor adventures
  • Anytime a warm, protective layer is needed for changing outdoors.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your changing robe.

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers before washing. Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating and fleece lining. Hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
  • Bleaching/Ironing: Do not bleach. Do not iron, as this will damage the waterproof properties and fleece.
  • Storage: Store in a dry, cool place when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Re-proofing (Optional): Over time, the waterproof treatment may wear off. You can restore it using a suitable technical fabric re-proofing spray or wash-in product, following the manufacturer's instructions. This is typically done after several washes if water no longer beads off the surface.
