The waffle texture is incredibly soft and lightweight, making these perfect for layering, but some parents report they pill or thin out after multiple washes. Great for parents who want affordable, versatile blankets for everyday use and don't mind replacing them after heavy rotation, but skip if you're looking for heirloom-quality pieces that'll last through multiple children.
⚠️The durability issues mean these are best treated as disposable-ish everyday blankets rather than keepsakes, so don't stress about keeping them pristine for future babies.
