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 to help you!).
Step 2: Use a measuring tape to take the 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 Sightseer Wide-Brimmed Bonnets have adjustable ties in the crown to get the perfect fit to your child'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 51cm, you will want the 50-54cm hat to ensure plenty of future wear. If your child's head is measuring 53cm, it's best to go to the 54-58cm as you can pull in the ties to make the hat size 54cm.
