DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS [PARENTS]

We realized that most kids don’t need a change robe.

Its unlikely that they will be attempting to change inside one on their own.

Its also unlikely that they would have car keys and a wallet or purse.

What was really needed was something to cover the transition between activity sessions, or getting home.

​

We realized, from experience, that visibility was very important.

Being in the outdoors, it can get dark. 

After activity, training, sport lessons or just in the camp site, keeping easy sight of your kids is essential.

In the low light , amongst a large group, safely navigating across a carpark, by the waterside etc.

  

It had to be warm and waterproof, but not too bulky. 

We knew that the kids might have cold hands and that just as likely, mum or dad will have cold hands.

The CoziRobes will have to be carried, stored and washed and dried, so should not be too large and bulky.

We knew that it might be raining and windy.

We knew that kids like to be comfortable and its better to have something that they want to use.

 

We wanted quality that would last.

We wanted to make sure, that if investing in a quality Cozirobe, it should last more than a season and it should be able to be passed on to brothers and sisters and friends.

​

• So we chose an experienced manufacturer and ensured a high quality product.

• We chose a bright ‘burnt orange’ color to be gender neutral for passing on and shared usage, and to be more visible.

• We put a large reflective stipe on the hood and back of the shoulders.

• We chose full length sleeves with large 'hook n loop' closures on the cuffs.

• We chose a warm cozy pile liner that can be wrung out so wont become water logged.

• We put a strong hanging loop on the outside so it can be hung up, ready to be grabbed and thrown on.,

• We knew that kids need to sit down so we put a two way chunky zip on the front and small slits on the side for freedom of movement.

• We made the zip come up high for shelter but also put a zip garage at the chin for comfort.

• We chose a waterproof outer that has great wind resistance.

• We made a nice big lined hood to keep the wind and rain off.

• We chose not to have an internal pocket as those do not feel nice next to the body.

• We made two large lined handwarmer pockets on the outside and made them zipped for stashing anything that’s needed.

• We gave all the zips really big zip pulls that make using them with cold, wet or gloved hands, no problem.

• We sized the Cozirobe with 100cm from the shoulder to the hem. This size allows use from as young as 5 to as old as 15 (depending on individuality).

• We ensured it was simple to wash and dry on a cold wash or at 30 deg C, and we gave it a strong hanging loop on the outside.

• And finally, we called it our COZIROBE, because, that’s what we ended up with.
