Bath poncho for kids

In this category, you will find bath ponchos for children, towel ponchos for children, and bathrobes for children aged 1-8 years. They are all designed to make it easier for you as parents to take the little ones to the beach or swimming pool and are some of the most popular items when it comes to swimming gear for children. That's why they are also an important part of our selection for children's swimming.

A children's bath poncho is a cross between a bath towel and a bathrobe, combining the best of both worlds. They are easier for children to put on themselves, rather than wrapping up in a towel. Additionally, they have their hands free and with a hood, and possibly a pocket for the hands, they can quickly warm up.

That's why a children's bath poncho is clever

The advantage of a children's bath poncho is that it often serves multiple purposes at once, both before and after they have been in the water. For instance, if you take them to the swimming pool, the walk from the changing room to the pool can be cold for the little ones, especially if they're only wearing swimwear. Here it's easy to wrap them in a bath poncho that's easy to keep on and keep the child warm.

The same applies at the beach or pool, but here it can also serve another purpose, especially after they've been in the water. Most children need to get out of their wet swimwear after being in the water, otherwise, they get cold and start to shiver. Here it's again easy to dress them in a children's bath poncho that fits snugly and keeps them warm, while still allowing their hands to be free.

It can also be that you have a child who is more modest than others, which makes everything much easier with a bath poncho, as they can discreetly change clothes underneath it. It simply doesn't get easier.

Additionally, it may be beneficial to choose a bath poncho with a hood, as a lot of body heat escapes through the scalp. This way, they can pull it over their head and stay warm. This is harder to achieve with a bath towel, which they have to hold themselves to keep it in place.

Another important feature in a towel poncho for children is, of course, that it must also be able to dry the child when they come out of the water. Therefore, you should also consider which material best suits your child's needs. It can indeed make a significant difference to comfort and whether the bath poncho is used correctly.

Which fabric should you choose for your children's bath poncho?

Most children's bath ponchos available for purchase come in cotton, microfiber, terry cloth, or a blend of these different types of fabrics.

Children's bath poncho in cotton

The benefit of a cotton bath poncho is that they are often wonderfully warm, dry effectively, and quickly provide warmth. This is particularly true for terry cloth, which is cotton woven in a specific way that absorbs moisture very well.

Children's bath poncho in microfiber

Choosing a bathrobe or bath poncho in microfiber guarantees a poncho that dries the skin quickly and is fast-drying itself. This can be an advantage if children need to be dried off quickly and changed into fresh clothes. Moreover, they weigh less than cotton bath ponchos, so they feel lighter to wear - and they take up less space in the bag. Always worth considering, as space can often be at a premium in the bag when you have small children.

Since it's quick-drying, you can be sure that it will be ready for use again quickly. This can be beneficial if you have a child who is constantly jumping in and out of the water.
