7. Puj Hug Bath Towel

We think this is one of the best baby towels you can purchase thanks to its overall utility. It can be difficult to get your child out of the tub after a bath if you have to deal with trying to get the towel in place at the same time. The Puj Hug baby towel can help you with that using its built-in locking tabs.

These tabs allow you to keep the towel around your neck securely. This allows you to use both hands to get your child out of the bathtub safely. After the bath, you can use the tabs to hook the towel on a line for quicker drying.

The Puj Hug uses “ultra-thick” 100 percent cotton materials and is 28 inches in both length and height. This towel is a little more expensive than some of our other best baby towels, but it has useful features that make it worth the price for most new parents.

Yass:

• It gives you a hands-free way to get your baby out of the tub
• The ultra-thick cotton is soft and absorbent
• It includes tabs that may allow it to dry quicker than other towel

The best baby towels sometimes offer a little something extra. In the case of Aspen’s Rub-a-Dub best baby hooded towels, you get robes that double as super-absorbent towels. They offer a complete line of fun animal designs that are sure to delight babies and parents alike.

Each robe has colors and designs that conform to cute versions of animal shapes, and all products are machine washable with no need for special instructions.

Many parents appreciate the finer details of these towel-robe hybrids, such as the small animal accents that make each one more than just a towel or a robe with a hood.

These items are 22 inches high and 11 inches wide and made from cotton materials. Although they should fit babies up to nine months, many parents say they only last about six months in total.

4. Organic Bamboo Hooded Baby Towel

This is one of the thickest, softest and most absorbent baby towels there is. Its performance is mainly due to the 100% bamboo composition as bamboo is one of the few materials that has a natural tendency to absorb and retain moisture like there’s no tomorrow. The San Francisco Baby hooded baby towel comes in tow sets. One contains a larger bamboo hooded towel (40″x 28″) and a washcloth while the other one contains just a smaller towel (35″x 35″). Nevertheless, both towels are very big and plushy and will retain their form after countless washer cycles. The towels are both white with two blue stripped bear ears on the hood.

Yass:

• 100% organic bamboo
• Keeps very well
• Very absorbent
• Big for toddlers to grow into it

3. Spasilk’s Baby Bath Bag

This is perhaps one of the best baby towels you can buy if your little one likes to kick and squirm right after a bath. It is still a full baby towel, but it has a twist that makes it more useful than some other towels. As long as you unzip it before baby’s bath is over, you can pop the little one right into it and zip it up again. This feature keeps the baby from kicking the towel off while you are cleaning up, but it leaves plenty of room at the bottom for your child to still kick and move.

This bag doubles as one of the best baby hooded towels you can buy. It includes 100 percent cotton-velour materials and machine washable with no special settings necessary. Some parents find it to be a little small at 14 inches long and 13 inches high.

Yass:

• It keeps your baby dry from head to toe
• You can get your baby’s clothes or diaper ready while the towel stays in place
• It is easy to wash

Nopes:

• It’s rather small, and newborns may outgrow it quickly
