Best kids bath towels: hooded towels, ponchos and robes (and how to choose)
The minute bath time ends, many kids run off dripping wet. A good kids bath towel makes the after-bath rush much easier: wrap, dry, and into pajamas.
Here's how to choose hooded towels, bath ponchos and robes for toddlers and kids, and the simple after-bath routine that works in our house.

Hooded towel, poncho or robe?
Hooded towel: the classic. Wrap it around and the hood keeps wet hair from dripping. Great for babies and toddlers.
Bath poncho: slips over the head so kids are covered instantly, even if they won't stand still. Great for preschoolers who run off after the bath.
Bath robe: easiest for older kids who can put it on themselves.

Slips over the head. Covers kids in one move.
Kids bath robe

What to look for
Size: bigger than you think. A towel that covers shoulders to knees keeps kids warmer.
Fabric: cotton terry is soft and absorbent; microfiber dries quickly and is light.
Easy care: machine-washable and quick to dry, so you can use it every day.
Safety: avoid long cords or ties around the neck, and keep an eye on little ones on wet floors.
Our after-bath routine
Lay out the towel, pajamas and lotion before the bath. Right after the bath, wrap, dry, and moisturize while the skin is still a little damp.
Our kids love glow-in-the-dark hero pajamas, so getting dressed feels like a reward. In the Yukemuri Quest app, the adventure ends when kids are in their pajamas and tap "I'm back!".
Fragrance-free kids lotion
For an easy after-bath moisturizing habit.
Glow-in-the-dark kids pajamas

Keep towels fresh
Hang towels to dry after every bath and wash them often. A kid-height hook helps kids hang their own towel and keeps the bathroom tidy.
Kids towel hooks
Low hooks so kids can hang their own towel.
Safety first
Never leave a young child alone in or near the bath. Wipe up water on the floor, and use a non-slip mat to prevent slips.
Summary
Pick a large, soft, easy-to-wash towel style that suits your child's age: hooded towels for toddlers, ponchos for runners, and robes for older kids. Lay everything out before the bath, and the after-bath rush gets a lot calmer.
