    Once they're out of the pram and into everything, the Bedhead Classic Bucket is made to keep up. This UPF50+ kids sun hat is made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane jersey, with a foam anti-flop brim that stays up and out of their eyes through running, climbing and non-stop play.

    Playful teddy bears roam across a soft blue base in Cubbie, a cosy print for little adventurers and their favourite cuddly friends.

    With both the fabric and finished hat design tested for UPF protection, you can feel confident while they get on with daycare, school, park days and backyard adventures. The soft stretch fit and adjustable chin strap make it comfortable enough to become the hat they actually keep on.

    BEST SUITED TO: Fully mobile kids who spend more time running, climbing and exploring than sitting in a stroller.

    • Foam anti-flop brim stays up and out of kids' eyes, wash after wash
    • Made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane jersey
    • Soft, stretchy and lightweight for active kids

  • One fact you can be sure of - no two heads are the same! ALWAYS measure your child's head before purchasing to ensure getting the accurate size.

    Step 1: Distract the child with a toy or food (so they don't try and help you!).

    Step 2: Use a measuring tape to take measurement. Otherwise use a ribbon to take the size then use a ruler to find the measurement.

    Step 3: Purchase the size closest to your childs measurement. Our hats are very stretchy and will grow up to 4cm.

    FOR EXAMPLE: The child measures 53cm, you will need the 54cm that will give you a lot of future wear. It's important to get the hat closest to your head size, if it's too big the hat will block the child's vision, causing uncomfort and a good chance of them pulling it off.

  • Sun protection you can trust
    Little heads deserve great sun protection.
    At Bedhead, we take sun safety seriously. Our UPF50+ hats undergo specialist laboratory testing to Australian Standard AS 4399:2020.
    We don't just submit a piece of fabric for testing. Our finished hats are assessed across multiple material components, including the crown and brim, with the overall UPF rating determined by the lowest-performing component.
    It's one of the ways we make sure our sun protection claims are backed by proper testing.
     
    What does UPF50+ mean?
    UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It measures how effectively a material blocks ultraviolet (UV) radiation. A UPF50+ rating means the tested material blocks at least 98% of UV radiation.
    For our laboratory-tested finished hats, the UPF rating takes into account the different material components of the hat, rather than relying on a single fabric sample.
     
    Why does hat design matter?
    UPF50+ fabric is only part of good sun protection. The shape and fit of a hat matter too.
    A tiny brim or shallow crown can leave little faces, ears and necks exposed, even when the fabric itself provides excellent UV protection. That's why we design our hats with generous coverage, comfortable fits and our unique anti-flop brims, helping keep the hat in place while little ones explore.
    For the best sun protection, always combine hats with protective clothing, sunscreen, shade and sunglasses.
     
    No added UV chemical treatments
    Our UPF50+ protection comes from the fabric itself, not from an added UV-protective chemical coating or treatment. The fibres, fabric construction, knit or weave, and colour all contribute to how effectively the material blocks UV radiation.
    Our fabrics undergo specialist laboratory testing to verify their UPF performance, ensuring our sun protection claims are supported by documented test results.
