Jan & Jul Baby Sun Hat with UPF 50+

Sun protection for babies is non-negotiable. Babies under 6 months can't even wear sunscreen, so a good hat is literally your first line of defense. The Jan & Jul sun hat has a wide brim that covers the face, ears, and back of neck. The UPF 50+ rating blocks 98% of UV rays. But here's what makes this one special: the adjustable chin strap actually keeps it on. Every parent knows the frustration of putting a hat on a baby only to watch them rip it off 4 seconds later. The strap on this one has a breakaway safety release so it won't be a choking hazard, but it's snug enough that casual swats won't dislodge it. The drawstring at the back adjusts the head circumference, which means you don't have to buy a new hat every 3 months as your baby's head grows. The fabric is lightweight and breathable so baby's head doesn't turn into a sweat factory. We used the same hat from about 4 months through 18 months just by adjusting the drawstring. It's machine washable, dries fast, and packs flat in a diaper bag. Get one in every color because you'll use it constantly from spring through fall.
