Choosing the right hat for your child
Kids can be tough when it comes to hats. Not that they are hard to fit but that getting a child to wear a hat can be a challenge. If you start them off wearing hats from infancy, like a car seat, they may come to expect wearing a sun hat is just a way of life. But even then, most kids go through the "I’m not wearing a hat" stage. But fear not! Choosing the right hat, persistence & leading a good example are all key things to remember.
What to look for:
-
Provides good shade to the face, back of neck, eyes & ears
-
Made from close-weave or UPF50+ fabric is best
-
Provides ventilation / made from breathable fabric especially if hat is being worn during physical activity or warm climate
-
Allows child to safely see & hear properly
-
Free from potential hazards - chin straps/cords can pose a risk by getting caught on play equipment (some day care centres & kindergartens don’t allow them for this reason).
Getting the right fit:
The best way to get a good fit is to measure the head circumference. Measure around the head (above the eyes and ears... where the hat brim sits) with a soft measuring tape or use a string and then measure the length of the string to take the guess work out of sizing.
As we all know, kids grow at an alarming rate. Most of our hat measurements are within a range, but if your child's head measurement is very close to the next larger size, you may want to consider choosing that bigger size.
Our brim sizes are all child appropriate, but you will most likely have insights as to the width of the brim that is best for your child. Remember the wider the brim, the more sun will be blocked.
