High Quality Hooded Bath Towels

My nephew is turning 1 and I want to get him one of those hooded bath towels with an animal head on the hood. I looked at Target and Toys R Us online, but the customer reviews said that the towels were really poor quality. I want something that is going to last him years. eBay has a few vendors, but I was hoping to get a recommendation from someone who bought a hooded towel and had it hold up for the long haul.

Thanks,
S.

What can I do next?

I received one for my baby shower from Kohl's and its fantastic. It's good sized so it can be used for quite some time. I've been using mine for 2 years and its still soft and thick. Good luck and hope you find what you are looking for.

We have some from Pottery Barn kids - they are wonderful!! Had them for about 5 years now and they still hold up nicely!

I got my kids some at Kohls. They have lasted almost two years and still dont have any rips or tears. They are usually 50% off or BOGO too.

i've had all kids of hooded towels and lands end were the best. if you go to sears (lands end section) towards the end of february, they'll have the sets on sale. i usually get mine for 4.99. they are awesome. my kids are 5 and i still buy only lands end towels.

I got a firefighter one from Kohls this past fall. It's great. It's held up really well for my twins - and they fight over who gets it! lol

Pottery Barn Kids is great! It's hard to match their quality anywhere! An added bonus is that for a small added fee (I think it's usually $6) they will embroider his name on it too!

Something to keep in mind...a lot of those hooded towels are quite small. My five year old loves them, but they don't cover his body at all--and he loves/needs to be warm when he gets out of the shower/bath or there's a big meltdown. The hooded towels we have don't cover his body. We got ours at Target; they're not "baby" towels but they are kids' towels and thus smaller than a regular body towel. If you are looking for something "long term" (I would say our Target ones have been around 2 years and are no worse for the wear...and how long do you want a kid to use a towel? He will probably outgrow it by 5 or 6.) you should probably get something with a big towel-part.

Lands End, LL Bean or Pottery Barn Kids have great quality hooded towels!

Try Pottery barn for Kids. My Mom got one for my little girl for Christmas and it's wonderful!

I just saw them in an Avon catalog. I also bought my son 2 of them at Kohls. Not sure if Kohls still carries them as I bought mine right before Christmas. The ones I bought seem very durable. We use them all the time. So far no issues with them being of poor quality. Hope it helps.
