nylyRobe™ Hooded Beach Poncho Towel (3-8 years)

We used to do the whole "wrap the towel around them and pray it doesn't fall off" thing after every swim lesson. My 5 year old would be shivering by the time we got to the car because the towel kept slipping. Got the shark nylyRobe and now he just pops it over his head and walks to the car himself. Stays warm, stays covered, no drama. Should have bought this ages ago.

I was a bit worried it would be too thin when I first felt the fabric but it's actually really clever. It keeps my daughter warm enough after swimming and it dries SO much faster than the big cotton towel we used to bring. That thing would sit damp in the bag for days. This one is dry by the time we get home. It also folds up tiny which is a huge plus when you're already carrying a million things to the pool.

Bought the unicorn one for my 4 year old and she refuses to take it off after swimming. She walks around the house in it for about an hour after bath time too. The hood is a good size and actually covers her head properly unlike the last one we had from Amazon which was basically useless. Washes well too, no fading after multiple washes. Already ordered the mermaid one as a backup.

Mum of two boys (ages 4 and 7) and this has made swimming days so much easier. They both put them on themselves in the changing room which is brilliant because I used to struggle wrapping towels around one while the other ran off half naked. The designs are really cute and the quality is noticeably better than the cheap ones we tried before. One of those had the stitching come apart after three uses. These still look brand new after two months.

I bought this for beach holiday and honestly it was one of the best things I packed. My daughter wore it after every swim, used it to cover up walking between the pool and the room, and it dried on the balcony in about 20 minutes. Took up barely any space in the suitcase either. The dinosaur print is adorable and the colours are really vibrant. My son is already asking for his own one.

My 6 year old has sensory issues and hates the feeling of heavy wet towels on her skin. This is perfect for her because the microfiber is really soft and light. She doesn't complain about it at all which is honestly a miracle. It's also way more practical than a normal towel because she can just walk around in it without it falling off every two seconds. We use it after swimming and after bath at home. Really happy with it.
