Why is Poncho Towel a Must-Have?

Parenting is a full-time job and if there is one thing parents would universally agree upon - it would be that bath time is a …STRUGGLE. Our little ones step out of the water, shivering, and way before you can wrap them dry - the towel slips off, dragged on the floor, or worse you see them running dripping - half-naked. That’s exactly where a poncho towel comes to the rescue.

  1. No more slipping towels:

    While traditional towels do the job well - we know kids don’t stay put in a place to complete the entire drying process. But Poncho towels stay put!
    With a simple slip-over design with a hood - this kids’ bath towel provides full coverage while keeping the little ones warm no matter how much ever they wiggle.

  2. Hassle-Free Wear:
