I bought this pillow for my 16mo old daughter. We never bought a pillow for my 3yr old son until he moved to a bed but my daughter has some drainage issues and tends to get a lot of colds so we figured it might help.
It is a little firm but a great size for her convertable crib. It takes up about 1/3 of the standard crib mattress width so there is plenty of room around her to not use it. She still doesn't really use it but I don't think that has anything to do with the pillow. She certainly plays with it enough just when she goes to sleep she still likes to just lie flat.
I did lop one star off because the 'matching' pillowcase matches the pillow not the pink velour pillow case it shows in the picture. So you get one colored pillow case and one natural pillow case with a woven texture instead of the fluffy velour. My kids, at least, think that means a totally different pillow which means it's really not useful.
I think the product would be better if it had two matching cases or just the one and a reduced price so someone could buy the matching case. Maybe a little nitpicky of me but 5 stars should be hard to beat and with the extra firmness and the spare pillow case not being very useful I can't give it a 5. I would recommend it though.
One last note is that this is probably firm enough that it can be used as a 'step' by a kid ready to climb out of their crib. I'm at least a few months away from worrying about that but other people may be a little closer to the point of no return.

My son's daycare requested I send him with a pillow a few months shy of this 2nd birthday. They said many others had them and it really helped with the constant cold induced congestion that goes around. Given that the pillow was going to be for daycare, I wanted something that was totally washable. I couldn't find one that got decent reviews, but saw that this item came with a completely zipped, waterproof pillow cover. This pillow is great. My son enjoys it, it helps with his congestion at school, and I feel safe knowing it gets completely cleaned every weekend.

This is the third toddler pillow I have bought. This is the one! Perfect size and loftiness; not too high or low. Soft and allergy free with waterproof cover and pillowcase for such a reasonable price. Glad I ordered pink for my granddaughter. The blue is the blue that my grandson loves. Ordering another one. Don't buy another one because this is what you want.

We noticed our 2.5 year old daughter using a stuff animal as a pillow so I ordered her this a few weeks ago.
It was more money than I wanted to spend but it is perfect and totally worth the money.
Sure, you can get a $5 pillow the same size at target but that one is lumpy and has no pillow case. And good luck trying to find a pillow case for that size!
This one is nice and firm which allows it to stay in place on the bed. The pillow case is the same material as her pottery barn kids chamois sheet and she loves it.
Great buy!
