Honestly this is not the best quality and fussiest towel I own and owned but for what it's worth its perfect. I have purchased towels for kids for at least $20 plus tax when I could get similar for less and without tax.
I have 2 girls, 2 and 6 yo and now expecting a baby boy an I have learned from my previous mistakes and purchases what's really needed and what's not worth buying for little ones and towels are one of them. Yes, you don't need to get hooded towel however it's very convenient to have it instead of constantly having to adjust hoodless towel on kids head and it's so darn cute. The size is perfect 30 x 40 and will keep your little one snuggly wrapped from head to toe after warm bath especially when it's cold.
Highly recommended this towel
