This was one of the few products we tested available for babies as young as six months. The hood features a cute face and ears and the towelling material is both soft and practical – it dries on the inside but feels soft to touch on the outside. It also features a very useful popper under the chin to keep it closed and a built in belt that can’t be detached. The belt doesn’t actually go all the way round either so if you are buying for a very young child, you don’t have to worry that they’ll be lying on top of it and getting uncomfortable. It’s part of a new range of dressing gowns from baby and child experts JoJoMamanBebe, all of which feature a novelty hood. You can choose from a koala, fox, unicorn and dinosaur. The koala was our favourite though, due to the neutral colouring. Key specs – Age: 6 months – 5 years; Material: 100% Cotton; Washing instructions: Machine washable at 40, Designs: Four (koala, unicorn, fox, dinosaur) Star Wars fans will love these Jedi robes that make them look like their heroes. This was the softest of all the dressing gowns we tried – our tester couldn’t stop touching it. The sizing is a little vague, but we’d suggest a small size fits children aged between about four and six, and the medium perhaps aged seven to nine. A handy feature of this design is that the belt is stitched to the robe so while you can adjust it at the front to tighten it, but you can’t actually pull the belt out or detach it. It is also available in a fun Yoda design.
