Baby Sunhats for Outdoor Adventures

How to Choose the Best Baby Sunhat?

The best baby sun hat does not just provide sun protection for your baby's head. It also has to be wide enough to protect their face and neck from direct sunlight. Look for the following attributes when choosing the best baby sun hat for your little one.

First, make sure it covers their head, face, and neck, with plenty of coverage to spare. This hat should cover more than just the top of their head! A nice wide brim is the key here. This will shade their delicate ears, cheeks, and neck, which are often forgotten but burn easily.

Second, find a hat made from a lightweight and breathable material that allows air to circulate. This will ensure your baby's head doesn't overheat, keeping them cool and comfortable while outdoors. What's more, a thin tie that keeps their hat in place will make sure it doesn't fall off during play time, or get lost!

Last but not least, ensure the UPF rating on your baby sun hat is UPF 50+ — the highest UPF rating achievable. This rating indicates that only 2% of the sun's UV can penetrate the fabric, effectively blocking out over 98% of these harmful rays.

When and Where to Use Baby Sunhats

Babies younger than six months should be kept out of direct sunlight whenever possible. This is because they have sensitive skin and therefore, they can burn easily. Too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can also lead to skin damage and even cancer later in life.

A baby sunhat is a great addition to your baby's wardrobe. It can add a touch of style while protecting your little one from the harmful rays of the sun. Baby sunhats are also an excellent alternative for sunscreen. Sunscreen should be avoided where possible, as your baby's skin can't yet metabolize the chemicals that most sunscreens contain.

You can also easily mix and match an infant sun hat with any wardrobe your little one has, creating a range of fun and funky outfits on any adventure.

Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

It's important to look after your baby sunhat, so that it will continue to provide your little one with the protection they need and the style you enjoy! To do that, you can follow these simple care instructions.

When cleaning, prepare a mild soap and mix it with a small amount of water. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into it and gently wipe the sunhat. For minor stains, you can spot-clean the area with a little more soap. Don't scrub too hard as it could damage the delicate fabric, and make sure the soap that you're using is not too harsh.

Once you have cleaned your baby sun hat, rinse it thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue. Do make sure this residue is all removed, as any soap left behind may irritate your baby's skin. Finally, lay the sunhat flat to air dry in a shaded area, or hang it up on a drying line or rack.
