Troubleshooting

Reflective strips losing reflectivity

Ensure the vest is cleaned according to care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during washing and drying, as these can degrade the reflective material.

Zip is difficult to use

Ensure the fabric around the zip is clear of obstructions. If the zip feels stiff, try gently moving it back and forth. Do not force the zip, as this can cause damage.

Vest seems too large or too small

While this vest is sized for 5-7 years (UK Size 1), children's sizing can vary. Ensure the vest is worn over appropriate clothing to achieve the best fit. Check product specifications for exact measurements if available.

Color fading

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Store the vest in a cool, dark place when not in use.
