CuddleCloth is a superior bath towel in quality as well as function. This hooded bath towel is worn on parent prior to bathing baby. After bath, mom covers baby with a natural motion by pulling the towel from the top or side to cover baby. As a result of this action, CuddleCloth instantly comes off mom. She doesn't have to take her hands off her baby to remove CuddleCloth because CuddleCloth is now only on the baby! Because of this innovative towel, there’s no need for a changing table. Bath time is now a safer, more fun experience for mom and baby.
Patent pending CuddleTote™ is the convenient baby towel answer for the pool or beach. CuddleTote™ is a 4 in one product; It is a Cuddlecloth®, a backpack, a waterproof wet bag and changing mat.
