DC Comics Velvet Fleece Batman Toddler Robe

As babies grow into toddlers, it’s time to start thinking about a robe. Your toddler might not wear one yet, but in time, it can be a great way to keep your little one warm and comfortable while you choose the perfect jammies for a night’s sleep.

Getting a toddler to keep a robe on can be challenging. One of the best ways to do that is to select a character robe. You can find robes with animal ears and faces, but there are also robes for specific characters, like Batman and Minnie Mouse. The best thing about these robes is that they’ll also make your kids excited about bathtime. That alone makes them a great investment.

There are other things to consider when you’re shopping for a robe. You’ll want it to be snuggly soft and have quick-drying properties. It’s essential to make sure you can toss it right into your washer and dryer, too. Polyester serves those purposes well, but you can also consider cotton. If your child has skin sensitivities, organic cotton is an option.

Many robes have attached hoods. As with adult robes, the hood may be something that’s never used. However, kids’ robes often add ears or other character features to their hoods, making it far more likely your child will wear that hood when the robe is on.

• There may be a sizing range to consider with robes because of the tie belt they typically come with. You may want to size up a little so that your toddler can wear the robe a little longer.
• One big consideration when looking at children’s robes is the sleeve length. Sleeves can be rolled up, but the very material that keeps your robe soft and cozy also makes it tough to keep rolled-up sleeves from unraveling.
• You’ll find many toddler robes are designed to be shorter. If a robe is too long, it can create a tripping hazard, so make sure you measure carefully if you wan to find one that’s ankle-length for more coverage.
• Most robes have belts that slip through belt loops. This makes it easy for you to add or remove them, but that also means that your belt can quickly become separated from the robe. Consider sewing the belt to the robe; this effort will pay off in the extra minutes you save searching for the belt in the future.
