Frequently asked questions
What hats and accessories are in this collection and what ages do they cover?

This collection includes sun hats, beanies, and bandanas for babies, toddlers, and kids. Age coverage varies by product, so check individual items for the size range. Most baby hats cover newborn through to around 12 months, with toddler and kids options taking you through to school age. The range pulls from the same Scandi and colourful brands stocked across the rest of the Baby Goes Retro store.
How do I measure my baby or child's head for a hat?

Measure around the widest part of the head with a soft tape measure, just above the eyebrows and ears. For babies under 6 months the average head circumference is around 41-43cm; for 6-12 months around 44-46cm; for toddlers 1-3 years around 48-50cm; and for kids 3 years and up around 50-54cm. Always check the brand's specific size guide as each brand varies slightly.
Are these hats suitable for Australian sun protection?

Look for hats with a wide brim or full-coverage bucket style with a back flap for maximum sun protection. Fabrics rated UPF 50+ block 98% of UV rays. For everyday outdoor play in the Australian sun, a bucket hat or broad-brim style in UPF fabric is the most practical choice. The bandanas are best for colour and style rather than sun coverage, so pair them with a sun hat for outdoor sessions.
What are baby bandanas actually for, and are they practical?

Baby bandanas are primarily used as stylish bibs for dribbly babies, typically from around 3-6 months when drool ramps up. They sit flat against the chest, absorb moisture, and look a lot more put-together than a standard pelican bib. They are not a sun protection item but they are a practical addition to any baby outfit during the drool-heavy months before solids kick in.
Do the hats and bandanas coordinate with the clothing collections on the site?

Yes. The hats and bandanas are chosen to coordinate with the prints and colour palettes already in the store. If you are building an outfit from the rainbow, farm animal, or Scandi print collections, you will find hats in complementary or matching colourways here. Free shipping on orders over $97 makes it easy to add a hat or bandana to an existing order without paying extra for delivery.
