Products and care
What size is the Zip Pocket Car Seat Towel?
It's 150 × 70 cm, with a 22 × 16 cm zip pocket. The headrest pocket slips over the seat for a secure fit, and it fits most front seats.
What is the zip for?
Unzip it and the hood opens to go over your headrest, so the towel covers the seat and stays put. Zip it up and it's a sand-free beach towel, with a pocket for your phone, keys and cards.
What are your towels made from?
Our Car Seat and Dog Car Seat Towels are 90% post-consumer recycled polyester micro-terry, about 8 plastic bottles per towel. Our Gym Towels, Hoodless Gym Towels and Changing Ponchos are premium recycled microfibre.
What's different about the Dog Car Seat Towel?
It's the same 150 × 70 cm size with the headrest hood and 22 × 16 cm zip pocket, in three paw print designs: Graham, Sunny and Freda. The pocket fits a lead, poo bags, keys and a phone.
What size is the Gym Towel?
The Gym Towel is 45 × 100 cm: compact enough to roll into any gym bag, big enough to wipe down between sets. It's lightweight and quick-dry.
What is the Hoodless Gym Towel?
It's a gym towel with no hood and a rope hang loop. It packs down small, and it's quick-dry and machine washable.
Will the Changing Poncho fit me?
It's one size, designed to fit most adults, with full coverage front and back plus a hood, so you can get changed at the beach, pool or car park.
How do I wash my towel?
Machine wash cold and hang it to dry. Skip fabric softener because it clogs the fibres.
Bundles and discounts
What are the 2-Pack and Family Bundle?
The 2-Pack is two Zip Pocket Car Seat Towels for $135, 10% off two singles. The Family Bundle is four for $240, 20% off, and standard shipping within Australia is free. You pick the colour of each towel on the Car Seat Towel or Dog Car Seat Towel page.
