My 3 year old loves his quilt. I like that it's for kids but it isn't "baby-ish". Like a big boy bed. He'll use this quilt for a long time. It isn't as thick as my Wal-Mart quilt but that's fine. Can add a small blanket between the quilt and the sheet. It's super soft. Haven't washed it yet but theres plenty of stitching so im sure it'll hold up fine.
