Can the bath shirt help reduce a child's fever?
Yes. Although the bath shirt is designed to keep a child warm during bath time it can also work in the reverse to help you reduce your child's fever. Simply run a luke warm bath and let the water cool naturally over time. Because the child's body is producing heat you will need to splash the bath water occasionally over the bath shirt to keep it cool.
Doesn't the fabric get cold?
The fabric has been especially selected to maintain the warm against the child's body. Although the outside is cool to touch the inside will be warm. The bath shirt will only stay as warm as the bath water is.
Which way do the clips go?
Laying baby - It is easier to have the clips at the front. It's best to lay an open bath shirt on the bath support or bath seat prior to laying the child down and then do the clips up at the front.
Sitting/standing child - The clips are designed to be done up on the back of the child which make it easier for parents to put on and take it off without will hands and arms getting in the way. It is easiest to leave the bottom 2 clips done up and slide the bath shirt over the child's head and then do the top clip up.
Why is the print upside down?
The print of the bath shirt appears upside to anyone who is looking at the child but the print is up the correct way for the child to look at the designs when used with the clips at the back.
What do I do with the bath shirt once bath time is over?
You squeeze the water out and hang to dry just like you would with wash cloth.
What is the best way to use a bath shirt?
We find it easiest to only under the top clip of the bath shirt and place over your child's head from the back. It can either go on dry or completely wet.
Can I use a bath shirt with a baby bath seat and/or Charli Chair?
Yes. The bath shirt is perfect for those children who bath in a bath seat and the seat does not affect the products intended use or make it difficult to put on and off your child.
Can I use a bath shirt with a bath support?
Yes. The bath shirt is perfect for those children who bath on a bath support.
What is a bath shirt made of?
60% cotton and 40% Polyester. The fabric is so incredibly soft and is quick dry
Does the fabric stain?
Wash cloths - even after cleaning a baby who was covered spaghetti sauce the fabric does not stain. This makes it great for all of those sensory play activities and messy babies. Your money will be well spent. Ensure to follow care/washing instructions (rinse after use and leave in water if dirty until ready to wash, dry in direct sunlight ect)
What are the care instructions for laundry?
Wash separately before use. Cold gentle machine wash. Line dry in the safe (unless really dirty - dry with white side in direct sunlight). Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron. Do not dry clean.
What does the product warning label say?
Only use under full adult supervision. Ensure item is not tight around child's/users neck. Throw away if product is damaged. Always check water temperature before use. Remove bath shirt from child before taking out of bath/shower. The bag that this product is in is not a toy. Keep bag out of reach of children.
How can a parent wear the bath shirt?
Simply place over your head with the clips at the back (best to leave top clip undone) and wear as a child does. Being hands free in the shower is a safer way to shower with your child as it creates a layer of safety that your child isn't going to slip straight off you when showering. Caution still needs to be taken and if you are not comfortable showering with your child don't do so.
