Consider plain old towels a thing of the past. When you try to wrap your wet, shivering kid in one, the towel ends up getting unraveled or dropped to the ground. Towel ponchos are a total game changer. Throw one over your child's head and it will stay in place for as long as you need it to. Plus, they're pretty adorable. We rounded up our favorite picks. Poolside parenting just got that much easier.

This H&M Hooded Towel ($25) is made to look like a dinosaur. We like the ties on the side because it gives you the option to make the poncho tight or loose. This product also comes in a hot pink fish form. We'll take both!
We love the nautical stripes on this The Beach People Nautic Petite Poncho ($69). This product is meant for kids ages 1 to 6 years old. The inside holds a sweet surprise — it's lined with polka dots. The cotton material is nice and comfortable.

Star Wars fans will adore this BB-8 Hooded Poncho Towel ($9). Transform your kids into their favorite famous robot. The material is highly absorbent, so it will soak up water quickly. We bet little ones will never want to take this off.
Reviewers say that this Boden Towelling Poncho ($38) is particularly soft. It comes in sizes that work for 2 to 12 years old. If you don't want the shark print, there's also an option with red and white stripes. Both designs are vivid and colorful.
This Nununu Star Poncho Towel ($54) comes in the brand's signature print. It's reversible, so the kids can use whichever side they want. It comes in two different sizes, so just make sure to get the right one for your child's age. We might even want this for ourselves.
