wraps to
the ankletinyyytales Hooded Towel
70 by 120 cm, so you are not chasing a wet toddler.
A full-size hooded towel — not the 60 cm square that stops covering them at eighteen months. Soft absorbent cotton, a hood that actually stays on a head, and enough towel to wrap and tuck in one move.

Parents, in their own words.
Big enough to last
70 by 120 centimetres. Most baby hooded towels are square and about 60cm, which is why they get retired at the exact age the running starts.
A hood that stays on
Proportioned and stitched so it holds on a head that is already trying to leave. The hood is the reason you buy a hooded towel.
Absorbent, soft cloth
Dries rather than redistributes. 170 grams of fabric across the full 70 by 120 — enough to wrap and tuck.
Small bodies lose heat faster than yours, and the maths is simple.
Infants have a high surface-area-to-mass ratio and limited ability to shiver, which is why paediatric guidance on bathing is consistently about getting them warm and dry quickly. A towel that covers the whole body in one wrap does that in a single move; a small square needs three, and the gaps are where the shivering starts.
General information, not medical advice.
Most baby towels are outgrown in a year.
A square that stops covering the legs the moment they start walking, with a hood that slides off a moving head.
Wraps a toddler head to ankle in one move, and keeps working as a beach towel long after bath time stops being a struggle.
The size is what buys you the years.
Baby towel, bath towel, or this?
The full comparison, so you can judge for yourself.
From first bath to the beach.
The first baths
Wrapped twice over, hood up, out of the water and warm in one move.
The chase years
Long enough to wrap a child who has already decided bath time is over.
Still fits
Where a 60 cm square gave up two years ago.
A beach towel
The hood stops mattering and the size starts mattering again.
“He stopped getting cold between the bath and pyjamas.”
The towel we were given stopped covering his legs at about one. This one still wraps him at three, and the hood stays where I put it, which is the whole reason you buy a hooded towel.
