Bought this for our 5 year old son who likes to take showers. It's a little big for now but that's fine.  Very absorbent and the hood is great for getting his hair dried a bit coming right out of the shower. The only down side is that it seems to produce a few more fuzz balls on his body. Most of this went away after it was washed, but occasionally they still appear and my son fusses about it! :-)
