Looking for quality toddler's bathrobe

Hi,

Every time I give my toddler and baby a bath I think how nice it would
be if I didn't have to manipulate the bath towel around the squirmy
and slippery child, but instead had a bathrobe for them that was made
out of the same thick and absorbent cotton terry. It seems impossible
to find really good quality plain white cotton bathrobes for kids that
young.

Any recs?

Thanks!

The best I've had have not been dressing gowns (we use them for swimming but
not after the bath) but the ones you pop over the head. They're easier to
get hold of in the summer, but I got a good one for £3 from Tescos
(supermarket) last summer. They're also really simple to make out of a large
bath towel (Cut hole for head; hem with a stretchy binding).
If you want dressing gowns then most of the basic child stores sell them
(Mothercare, Adams, M&S)

You should turn up some if you google "toddler robe terry"
I saw a few come up that were plain white, or nearly so.

Take care,

I've done an initial search but can't seem to find something really
thick and plush, like the kind of thing you get for adults in nice
hotels. Something that absorbs really well and is heavy.

I was hoping for some personal recommendations, if people had found
something that fitted the bill... Thanks though!

If I was looking, I'd try "the White Company": in fact they have

http://www.thewhitecompany.com/depar...D&DepCode=PVSB

which they describe as

"Blue Stripe Robe
A classic blue striped robe in pure cotton velour with towelling on the
inside for extra absorbency on bath nights." (They also have a pink
flowery one.)

I haven't bought any chidren's goods from them, but other things I have
are good quality.

My experience has been that the really thick bathrobes
are a bit unwieldy for little ones. They're not *that* big
or sodden, and they're so little that the heavy terry just
makes them look like stuffed sausages. We had one robe I
particularly liked that was a heavier cotton interlock.

Best wishes,
Ericka

We have a couple really nice ones, but they were hand-me-downs from
my nephews in Europe so I don't know where they were purchased.
However, we *never* use them. I keep thinking they would be nice, but
trying to manipulate a robe, complete with arm holes around a squirmy
and slippery toddler is impossible. And given I'm just going to put
her pj's on, it seems unnecessary to bother. The towel is actually
much easier to wrap around her and get her dry, while keeping her
covered as I put on the diaper, then each piece of clothing.

Really? Well, what do you know. I totally imagined a robe would do
the trick for me. The idea being that I'd dry the kid with the robe
and keep the hood on as we exit the bathroom, so they stay warm. I
remember when I was little really loving my bathrobe. But I would
have been older, obviously, and no longer squirmy.

Thanks for letting me know.

(Just out of curiosity though, if there's a brand name on your robes,
I'd love to know what it is. I wouldn't mind buying one if it's not
too pricey, anyway.)

Maybe it's just my kid ;-)

We dress her in the bathroom so we don't have to move her too far when
she's cold, so the robe would be on for all of the time it takes her
to dry - like a minute or two. If she was needing to move around the
house more, maybe it'd be useful, but the changing table is in the
bathroom, and I get everything ready before the bath and have it right
there. Our house is too cold elsewhere.

I'll try to remember to look tonight.I have one out, the other is
packed away somewhere.

Yeah, wish I could fit the changing table in the bathroom too, but not
a chance. It's just tiny.
