Learn how to use Boca Clips to hold towels on beach chairs, strollers, and more. Step-by-step tips plus common mistakes to avoid.
Quick answer
Open the wide-mouth clip, fold your towel over the chair frame or stroller bar, and squeeze the clip shut so both towel layers are caught inside. For beach chairs, place clips at the top corners and midway down each side. For strollers, clip low on the frame so the towel can't flap into the wheels.
Why Boca Clips work on more than beach chairs
Boca Clips are built around a wide-mouth clip that attaches to most anything, so the same clip that holds a towel on a lounge chair can also grip a stroller bar, a beach bag strap, or a pool fence. The weather-resistant construction is designed not to fade with prolonged sun exposure, which matters because these clips live outdoors. They are heavy-duty yet lightweight, so they add almost nothing to a diaper bag or beach tote.
How to clip a towel to a beach chair
Start at the top corners of the chair back. Fold the towel over the frame so roughly equal fabric hangs on both sides, then close the clip over both layers. Add a clip midway down each side to stop the towel from sliding when you sit down or when wind catches the loose edge. If you hang a wet swimsuit to dry, clip it at the shoulder or waistband rather than a thin string, which can slip out of the clip.
How to attach a towel to a stroller
Clip low on the stroller frame, below the handle and away from the wheels. A towel clipped high can flap into the child's face or catch on the canopy. Check that the clip is not pressing on a brake cable or folding joint. For sun coverage, use two clips on the same side so the towel stays put when the stroller turns.
How to keep clips working season after season
Rinse the clips with fresh water after beach or pool days to remove salt and sand, then let them air-dry fully before storing. Sand trapped in the hinge can make the clip feel stiff. Store clips in a mesh bag or clipped to your beach tote so they do not get lost at the bottom of a bag. Avoid leaving them clamped to a chair in direct sun for months at a time if you want the finish to stay bright.
Steps to use Boca Clips
- Open the clip and fold the towel: Squeeze the clip open, fold your towel over the chair frame or stroller bar so both layers are even. Checkpoint: both towel layers should sit inside the clip jaws, not just one.
- Place clips at the corners first: Attach one clip at each top corner of the chair back, then add clips midway down the sides if the towel is long. Common mistake: clipping only the center, which lets corners flap in the wind.
- Clip low on strollers: Attach the clip below the handle and clear of wheels, brake cables, and folding joints. Checkpoint: the towel should not reach the child's face or the ground.
- Use clips for wet swimsuits: Clip swimsuits at the shoulder or waistband and hang them from a chair or line to dry. Common mistake: clipping thin strings, which can slip out.
- Rinse and store after use: Rinse with fresh water, air-dry, and store clips in a mesh bag or on your beach tote. Next step: keep a spare clip in your bag so you never hunt for one at the beach.
