Children's Sun Hat Stores
Retailers selling sun hats for children
Children's sun hats do the work sunscreen cannot on the scalp, ears and neck, and the stores listed here sell hats designed for the job: wide-brim hats that shade the face and shoulders, legionnaire styles with a neck flap favored for babies and toddlers, bucket hats for everyday play, and swim hats in quick-drying fabrics with UPF ratings for the beach and pool. UPF, ultraviolet protection factor, is the rating to look for on the label: UPF 50+ fabric blocks the great majority of ultraviolet rays, and reputable retailers state the rating and whether it is inherent to the fabric or a treatment. Fit decides whether a hat is worn: size by head circumference against the maker's chart, look for adjustable cords or toggles that tune the fit across a season, and for young children choose a chin strap that keeps the hat on in wind and water, with a breakaway or soft fastening for safety. Brim stiffness matters at the pool, where a floppy brim that collapses over the eyes when wet annoys everyone, so swim hats use firmer or foam brims that hold their shape in water.

Shade That Stays On
The best sun hat is the one still on the child's head at noon, so retailers weigh retention as heavily as coverage. Chin straps, adjustable crowns and slightly deeper fits keep hats in place through wind, bikes and boats, while bright colors and reflective trims help adults spot a child at the beach. For school and camp, where hats are mandatory in many sunny regions, crushable hats that survive a backpack and return to shape get the repeat purchases.
Care is minimal: rinse swim hats after salt or chlorinated water, air dry away from direct heat, and check UPF treatments against the maker's stated wash life, since some finishes fade where inherent-fiber ratings do not. A hat bought with a little growing room and an adjustable cord commonly serves two summers, and the legionnaire and bucket styles in this category hand down well between siblings.
Common Questions
What does UPF 50+ mean on a child's sun hat?
UPF is the ultraviolet protection factor for fabric. UPF 50+ is the highest common rating and means the fabric allows only a very small fraction of ultraviolet radiation through. A rated, wide-brim hat protects scalp, ears and face, though sunscreen is still needed on exposed skin and reflections off water and sand.
How are children's sun hats sized?
By head circumference, measured around the forehead and the widest part of the back of the head, converted with the maker's chart, which usually groups sizes by age as a secondary guide. An adjustable toggle or drawcord inside the crown extends a hat's fit across a growth season.
Which sun hat style suits babies and toddlers?
Legionnaire hats with a neck flap and soft, wide brims give the fullest coverage for babies and toddlers, paired with a gentle chin strap so the hat stays on. For water play, choose quick-drying swim fabric with a brim that holds its shape when wet.
