This was an excellent piece. Surprisingly comfortable too. I looked into like 10 other elephants till I chose this. Great choice. My son wore the headpiece all day and didn't complain. The only thing I could add was that the Velcro under the chin kept opening so I secured it with a safety pin. Another safety pin went in the back of the head to gather up the extra fabric as my son has a very small head for a 3 year old. It washed beautifully in the machine and still looks new after 24 hours of wear.
