Today, many parents find it difficult to buy things even for themselves, because many are very poorly oriented in size. Often you just have to measure, and only then make a purchase. But if the situation is very simple with adults, then what about the kids? It is unlikely that anyone wants to obediently go shopping with their mother, and even more so try on the options they like. As for hats, there are certain sizes of children's hats that correspond to certain parameters. This will make it easier for mom to choose the right model.

Importance of headgear

With the birth of a baby, parents have a lot of trouble regarding clothes. After all, it is impossible to measure it, so you need to know the size. In this matter, mothers are usually inexperienced, which is why many manufacturers simply indicate the age on the label, which greatly simplifies the buying process. But if with clothes a little easier, then with a headdress everything is different. Of course, there are sizes of children's hats by age, but each child has his own head size. Therefore, you need to choose very carefully. In winter, it is very dangerous for a baby to catch a cold, and in summer it needs to be hidden from the hot sun. Therefore, the headdress should not squeeze the head or, conversely, creep over the eyes.

What you need to know before going shopping

No mother would drag her baby to the store just to buy him a hat. After all, such a procedure is quite painful for a little fidget, and besides, it is quite possible to do without it. It is enough just to know his head circumference and height. With these parameters, the mother will have no difficulty in determining the size of the children's hat. The girth of the head must be measured in centimeters along the superciliary arches. You need to know height and age because they are indicated on many things, but, unfortunately, even with such data you can make a mistake. There is a certain table that will help you find out the sizes of children's hats.

Materials in order to correctly determine the size of children's hats

Every mother in her arsenal must have everything necessary to choose the right headdress for her growing child. For this you will need:

Practical Tips

As mentioned above, when going to buy new clothes for your baby, you must first measure his height. It does not depend on what clothes you are going to buy him. Today, many manufacturers indicate exactly these numbers, even on hats. Of course, growth alone is not enough. Still important for sureknow the child's age and weight.

For those who are going to buy a hat for their baby, the last parameter is not required at all. Here you will need to measure the circumference of your head. The measurement should be taken parallel to the floor along the line where the rim of the headgear should be. The result that will be obtained will be the size of the upcoming update. However, each age corresponds to approximately one size. So, for a baby from 1 to 2 years old, the size of a children's hat 48 is suitable. For two-three-year-old children - 48-50 cm. And for three-four-year-olds - 50-52 cm. A soft centimeter tape is best for measuring head circumference. It is usually used by dressmakers in their craft.

Also a thick thread is suitable for these purposes. However, it is necessary to choose one that does not stretch so that the indicators are accurate. Measurements with a thread must be made in the same way as with a centimeter tape, but after it must be attached to a ruler and the result recorded. If the indicator has tenths, then it must be rounded up. Otherwise, the cap may be too tight. Some products have an elastic band. This helps, if necessary, to adjust the size up to 3 centimeters. If the model you have chosen is a little large, you can use this tape to reduce it a little so that it sits well on the head and the baby is comfortable in it.

Thus, we see that buying a headdress for a child is a very serious task that requires a certainapproach. The kid should be comfortable in a hat, it should not give him discomfort and spoil his mood during a walk. Making such a purchase is quite simple if you follow all the instructions listed above. And it is not necessary to take your child shopping with you. Treat your baby with love, and he will definitely love you back.
