Advantages: soooo.. cute Disadvantages: Don't last or wash easily
...I brought a pack of these towels before my baby was born. i think the pack of three cost me about £15. Once my baby was born i was given a gift of normal sofa asda towels which i am still using for my son now and he is nearly a year old.
I would not advise anyone to go out and buy a set of towels if they are expecting a baby as you realy do have so much other stuff to purchase. but i do think that the packs make a lovly gift set for a friend or family member who is expecting a baby.
the pack that i purchased only lasted about 3 months because as soon as they are old enough to realise that the hood is there they will do everything to get the hood off. also i found that they only stayed soft for about 2 months, after that they went bobbly and very firm.
The advantages are that your baby looks really cute in them and you can get...

Advantages: look pretty, usually soft Disadvantages: expensive, small, pretty useless
...I have fallen into the trap of buying hoodedtowels for both of my children and each time wondering why I bothered.
Basically what they are are very small towels, more like hand towels, with an extra triangle shaped piece of towel sown into one corner in order to make a hood.
This time I chose a Mothercare pack of three towels in shades of pink and white. This cost me £12, but if you shop around you can find them slightly cheaper at around £3 per towel, or a lot more expensive like toys r us at £9.99 per towel!
I was disapointed with the mothercare ones as while in the pack they look quite thick and soft but upon opening you realise that the thickness comes from layers of cardboard wedged in between each towel! They are thin and not exactly rough but they could be softer.
The idea is that you put the hood over the babys head...

Advantages: Babys head is dry very quickly Disadvantages: Normally they are too small.
...I have around 5 of these and I found at first baby looks stunning in these and their heads are kept dry which is fantastic as they lose heat when their head is cold which is often after a bath!!
I have purchased 2-3 from Tesco, 1 from Mothercare and 1 from Primark. I found the Tesco Roo hoodedtowels looking stunning but they weren't thick enough and I found my baby shivering after every bath! Poor thing! The Mothercare towel was very thick and soft and this one kept her very warm it also had lovely embroidered Giraffes and was very bright and last but not least the Primark one has Giraffes too and is very soft indeed and also comes with a free wash mitt!
I think they should produce these in bigger sizes and make the majority of them thicker!! I don't think they remember that baby is often cold after a bath.
I think it is so...
