Train Driver's Hat (UV)

Washing
Machine-washable at 30C.

Sizing

We have translated the centimetre sizing into approximate age bands. For greater accuracy, measure your child's head around the broadest part - usually the forehead to the back of the head - then go choose your sunhat!
Our sizing:

• 40cm we give as 0-3m
• 44cm we give as 3-6m
• 48cm we give as 6-12m (size up for bigheads!)
• 52cm we give as 1yr - 3yrs
• 56cm we give as 3yrs - 10yrs, but this may be the right size for your 2-year-old boy or for your 13-year-old girl. Head sizes really vary a lot!
• 60cm size sunhat for older children and teenagers

Natural UV sun protection
All these Train Driver sunhats are in high quality organic cotton - chemical-free next to your child's skin. The flower print sunhats are in a light-weight weave. The UV-80 hats are in a denser weave which affords sun protection at a certified Factor 80 or above - the khaki is actually over Factor 100! Wonderful, entirely natural UV protection for children.

These sunhats, we believe, are the very first natural, organic clothing to have received UV certification. There is no chemical coating - it is down to the colour and the density of the cotton.

Try our "Stay Cool" tip
If it is a very warm day and you feel that the sunhat might be a bit too hot, you can soak it in water. This then evaporates, keeping your boy or girl cool as well as keeping them protected.

Sun Safe
Remember - go get your sunhats now so your child is safe and comfortable when the heat is really on. Old sceptic that I am, I actually do believe what the dermatologists tell us: the most important sun protection is the clothing your baby or child wears - much more valuable than suntan lotion and without the chemicals too!
So, long sleeves and a good sun hat such as this - we don't think you can get better - is so much better than short sleeves and a baseball cap!
