About this item

  • SUN PROTECTION HERO: The Sunday Afternoons Kids’ Play Hat is a sun hat that features a UPF 50+ certified sun rating (the highest possible), which blocks up to 98% of UV Rays!

Look no further for the best summer companion for your active boy or girl.
    •
  • FEATURE-PACKED: Our Kids’ beach hats come with a Smartstrap Breakaway chinstrap which adjusts to safely prevent the hat from being blown away in the wind, and at the same time ensures your child will stay safe if the hat is ever pulled unexpectedly. The Kids’ Play Hat is both stain-resistant and water-repellent and dries in a snap. The brim also contains a floatable foam core that will keep this toddler hat afloat if it ever falls off in the water so your little ones can splash away worrry-free.
    •
  • COMFORTABLE DESIGN: This premium toddler summer hat is made of 100% polyester material that is soft, skin-friendly, breathable, very lightweight, and quick-drying so your child will actually be excited to wear this hat. The medium and large size versions of this girl’s sun hat contain a mesh panel on both sides that improves air circulation to prevent overheating when they're out in the afternoon sun.
    •
  • YOUTH SIZING: Our Sunday Afternoons sun hat for kids comes in three sizes so as your child grows, you'll be sure we've got you covered. Our Small size is recommended for 1 – 3-year olds (fits head circumference 18.5-19.75"); Medium: 3-6 years (19.75-20.8"); Large: 6 - 12 years (20.8-22"). There's also a buckle strap in the back of the toddler boy hat that can be adjusted for a more comfortable fit every season.
    •
  • PERFECT FOR TRAVEL: In addition to its’ stroller-friendly design, this waterproof sun hat is extremely packable! It folds flat for an easy fit in a small backpack or bag, while still retaining its shape when ready to wear. This is the ultimate Kids’ hat for sunny activities, whether on vacation at the beach, fishing at the lake, hiking up the trail, or just playing around the neighborhood outside.

UPF 50+ Sun Protection

It's hard to beat the enjoyment of a day in the sun, unless it's a day spent in the shady pleasantness of a UPF 50+ hat.

A rating of UPF 50+ is the highest sun protective rating achievable and means only 1/50th or less of UV rays are able to pass through, allowing you to diminish the sun, not the fun!
