Baby boy towels: ponchos, hoods and little ears
tuc tuc baby boy towels are one-size towels and ponchos with decorated hoods, little ears or raised appliqués, in soft, absorbent fabric. There are newborn ponchos and styles for little ones who are already walking, in crab, animal or nautical prints. Pair them with our baby boy swimwear.
Three formats to choose from
- Newborn poncho with little ears or raised details, for the first months.
- Boys' poncho with a hood and embroidered details, for once he's walking.
- Hooded towel or lightweight fabric towel, easier to pop in the bag.
Why the hood matters
When getting out of the water, a wet head is what makes them coldest. A well-fitting hood dries his hair while you put on his nappy or clothes. Lightweight fabric styles take up less space and dry faster; soft terry ones are a little warmer.
For more than one summer
Being one size, a baby poncho usually lasts until the child has grown quite a bit. Wash it without too much fabric softener so it stays absorbent.
Matching with swimwear
A nautical-print poncho goes with almost any shark, fish or striped swimwear. If you prefer something more neutral, choose a plain one with a decorated hood.
Lightweight or terry?
For trips and daily pool visits, a lightweight towel takes up little space and dries quickly. For windy afternoons on the beach, a warmer terry poncho is better.
Frequently asked questions
What towel is best for a newborn baby boy?
For a newborn, a hooded poncho or towel in soft fabric that's easy to wrap around him is best. tuc tuc has newborn ponchos with little ears or raised details, designed for bath time at home or the pool.
Up to what age can a baby boy use a poncho?
Ponchos are one size, so how long they last depends on the child's size. Newborn ones are outgrown sooner; boys' ones last several summers. For swimwear, however, follow the size guide.
What's the difference between a terry towel and a lightweight towel?
A terry towel has more volume, absorbs more and is warmer. A lightweight fabric towel weighs less, takes up less room in the bag and dries faster. For babies at the pool every day, lightweight is practical; for windy beaches, terry.
How do you keep a baby's towel soft?
Wash it cold or warm with a little detergent and, as a general rule, go easy on the fabric softener, which reduces absorbency. Air dry it and give it a shake before folding. Follow each item's care label. Also avoid direct sunlight.
What swim gift can I buy for a baby boy?
A poncho with little ears or a decorated hood is a much-appreciated gift: one size and useful all year round. Add swimwear from our baby boy swimwear to complete a summer gift. They go really well together.
What baby boy towels does tuc tuc offer?
