Bedhead Heritage Lounger Baby Flap Hats are light on heads, making them the ideal first hat for babies as they forget they're wearing them! The soft flap lies flat behind baby's neck while they're in a pram or baby carrier, and the brim is slightly upright letting them see the world. Made from 100% eco-friendly linen which can self-cool in summer and warm in winter, the Lounger hat provides UPF50+ sun protection without overheating little heads. 

Fully reversible with a pattern on one side and a coordinating solid colour on the other, you get two hats for the price of one. Adjustable ties at the back of the crown allow the perfect fit to be achieved, and elasticated straps tie sweetly into a bow under chins to keep hats in place while little ones get accustomed to something on their heads. The elastic in the ties allows stretch and comfort, and ensures the ties aren't too tight.

We can’t stop designing striped hats! This time they’re tiny lines of burnt orangey yellow paired with neutral flax for a fresh summery feel. Available in Flap Hat, Sun Bonnet, Classic Bucket, Ladies Sun Hat, Adult’s Frayed Bucket and Ladies Wide-Brimmed Visor.

Best suited to: newborns, crawlers and toddlers still using prams, strollers, car seats, carriers and slings. Best style to convert stubborn hat-haters as they're harder to pull off and not within their eyeline.

SIZE ADVICE & BRIM DEPTH
No two heads are the same, so it's always best to measure your child's head to get the ideal fit.
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: Choose a hat size with the smallest measurement closest to your child's head measurement. Our Lounger Flap Hats have adjustable ties in the crown to get the perfect fit to your childƒ??s head size with a 4cm range in each hat. By choosing the smallest size of the range, you will get the most wear out of it.

FOR EXAMPLE: If your child's head measures 43cm, you will want the 42-46cm hat to ensure plenty of future wear. If your child's head is measuring 45cm, it's best to go to the 46cm-50cm as you can pull in the ties to make the hat size 46cm.
