Here are the best towels and robes for newborns to toddlers.

Best Baby Bath Towels and Robes

There’s something about tiny baby towels that take your kiddo’s off-the-charts cuteness to another level. Along with being genuinely adorable, snuggling your baby in a soft towel is the perfect way to cap off bath time.

For the best value over time, look for towels that are large enough to last beyond the newborn stage (something bigger than 30”) and that stay nice and soft after lots of washes. Animal ears on the hood are optional (but highly recommended).

These are our favorite baby towels and robes to keep your little one warm.

Best Organic Baby Towels

Whether cotton, Turkish cotton or bamboo, the materials that make up these towels are certified organic (and certified snuggly!).

KeaBabies

Bamboo Hooded Towel

Made of thick and fluffy organic bamboo, this towel is super absorbent, incredibly soft and larger than almost all other baby towels.

H&M

Hooded Bath Towel

Here's a perfect budget-friendly option if you're looking to stock up or keep an extra towel or two at grandma's house. Made of organic terry cotton, it doesn't sacrifice softness for the low price.

Natemia

Organic Turkish Cotton Hooded Towel For Babies and Toddlers

Turkish cotton makes for some of the softest towels you've ever felt, including this simple-yet-delightful animal ear towel from Natemia. Available in six nature-inspired colors, the design is perfect for minimalist parents.

Lalo

The Hooded Towel

Here's another organic Turkish cotton option that's touchably soft and absorbent. And the width is a whopping 46", so your little one can be fully wrapped up in cozy luxury.

Best Plush Baby Towels

Who doesn’t love a big, soft, fluffy towel? These baby bath towels are super thick and perfect for chillier weather (or just for extra plush cuddles).

Parker Baby Co.

Premium Hooded Bath Towel

This baby towel is made with 100% ring spun cotton, meaning it’s softer, thicker and more absorbent than regular cotton towels. And with its larger-than-average size, your little one can use it well into their toddler years.

Pottery Barn Kids

Faux-Fur Labradoodle Baby Hooded Towel

“Cute” may be subjective, but you can’t deny that these fun, quirky prints will add extra playfullness to bath time.

Little Unicorn

Cotton Muslin Hooded Towel and Washcloth Set

Little Unicorn is well loved for their fun patterns. This towel and washcloth set is made of printed cotton muslin and is back-quilted with ultra-soft, absorbent terry cloth. They even have pockets to warm little hands.
