Full details
The Kite Dino Discovery Splash Coat is a functional, weather-resistant outerwear piece designed for infants and children who love outdoor play. With a 3,000 mm waterproof rating, windproof construction, and a playful animal print, it offers excellent protection against the elements while maintaining a comfortable fit. The primary caveat for parents is that while it is highly durable, the cotton material lining requires careful attention to the washing instructions to maintain its water-repellent performance over time.

FAQs
Is the coat suitable for heavy storms?
The coat is rated for 3,000 mm of water pressure, which is excellent for standard rain, drizzle, and play. It is designed for puddle jumping rather than extreme mountain storms.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is a fixed part of the design to ensure maximum protection against wind and rain.
Can I tumble dry the coat?
No, it is recommended to hang dry the coat inside out. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the waterproof material and the integrity of the welded seams.
What does OEKO-TEX approved mean?
It means the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of substances that could be dangerous to human health.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizes are based on the age group and baby/children's UK sizing. Consult the product title or size chart to match your child's age or height.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking through after many washes.
The waterproof coating may be wearing off. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners and consider re-applying a garment-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to close.
Check for fabric caught in the teeth of the zip. If clean, ensure the coat is laid flat when zipping to ensure proper alignment.

Care Instructions:
