Kid Hats

Kids should get to focus on fun – not floppy brims – when they’re out and about adventuring! And Bedhead has a lot of options in the kids hat department! For kids aged 3 to 13 and beyond, our Originals  Classic Bucket  and  Ponytail Bucket  hats feature a unique “anti-flop” brim with a foam insert that will stay upright even after many machine washes. For a little more whimsy with your sun protection, our reversible and adjustable 100% linen styles in our  Heritage collection  are a must. Regardless of the collection, our  bucket and broadbrim styles  provide amazing sun protection with brim depths exceeding requirements from SunSmart guidelines and a rating of UPF50+ excellent protection on all sun hats.

Wearing a kids sun hat all year around is important in keeping children’s delicate skin protected (as well as keeping their heads warm in winter). During the hot Australian summers it’s even more important. Australian summers are harsh, and a child’s skin is more delicate than that of adults. Babies and children are more vulnerable to UV radiation and more susceptible to sunburn and skin damage. The UV exposure they receive during the  early years of life  greatly increases the risk of developing skin cancer as an adult.

For waterplay days, a Swim  Classic  or  Ponytail  Swim Hat is ideal for bigger kids. Made from polyester elastane nylon, the hats are chlorine-friendly and pool safe. We recommend wearing these hats for swimming and opting for a cotton hat for everyday wear. For optimal sun protection at the beach, consider adding one of our  rash vests.  We also carry  wet bags  in the same fun prints as our swim hats.

For those who like their colours and patterns a little more muted, our  Heritage range  features three  broadbrim hats  that are so light and breezy, kids will forget they’re wearing hats. Made from 100% organic linen fabric, the Heritage range is reversible and adjustable giving the perfect fit each time and growing as your child does.

And for winter, we’ve got the coolest  fleecy Legionnaire hats  for kids big and small – the brim will protect against glare and sun while the fleecy lining will keep heads cosy and warm. Our fingerless mittens accessorise perfectly with our  fleecy legionnaire hats  for total warmth on those chilly winter days.

Protecting your child from the harmful damage caused by the sun isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. Shop Bedhead Hats for the best collection of kids sun hats in Australia.
