Brand claims and Ingredients
My experience
The product is packed in a squeeze up tube and the cap is quite tight and hence is non spilling. Although this is a big quantity product, smaller sizes are also available in this. The packaging is attractive as well as travel friendly (barring the size).
Now coming to the consistency of the lotion, the consistency is creamy and thin. It's neither a heavy kind of lotion nor thick emollient in nature. The cream spread easily onto the skin and gets absorbed even more readily than that, into the skin.
The uncanny thing I noticed about the lotion is that it has a very very subtle fragrance which only sensitive nosed people can detect. You can even go on and say it has nil fragrance. Once you take it on your palm and try to sniff it, an oats kind of fragrance is experienced. No sooner you apply the lotion than the fragrance fades away immediately. I have come across only one such lotion which has zero fragrance. As we all know, sensitive skin like that of babies and small children, should avoid fragrance at any cost and this one rightly fits my son's sensitive skin needs.
The lotion leaves behind a soft and hydrated skin which looks nourished and healthy. The Lotion is not at all greasy or oily and doesn't leave a residue feeling on skin. Nonetheless my son doesn't even feel like I am applying a lotion and still gets a soft skin 😁.
Although I apply the lotion to my skin in the morning after bath, I didn't feel the need to reapply it. Although it's not a winter season now, else a reapplication in 24 hours maybe needed. Summing up in the Recommendation part.

Recommendation
If you are looking for a fragrance, paraben and phthalate free lotion for your kid then Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion would be the best choice. Fragrance is best avoided for babies and small children as it may irritate their delicate skin. The formula is light weight yet hydrating. It is especially good for children who are fussy while getting ready (like my son 😣). The fact that it has natural colloidal oatmeal, is an added advantage, as oatmeal is very soothing in nature.
