Children's Sun Hats

Shop Our Wide Range of Children’s Sun Hats

Our hot Australian summers make it imperative to protect our children’s delicate skin, and our winter sun can be just as bad. The ‘down-under’ sun is harsh but so welcoming to kids’ playtime. But the UV can be damaging to the skin.

The need to protect our kids from sun damage couldn’t be greater. We all know that slogan; Slip Slop Slap Seek Slide. Slapping on a hat is such a simple act, and at Marmalade Lion, our protective kid’s Sun Hats will keep your little one well-protected and comfortable.

Broad-brimmed bucket hats are most advised as they provide the best protection for the face, neck and shoulders – the bits that always find the sun first.

With great coverage over the face and shoulders, our Children’s Sun Hats are perfect for use in preschools and daycare centres, on the sports field, at the beach, in the park and anywhere your kid plays. And are rated UPF50+. They’re also adjustable so as your child grows, so does the hat.

FAQs on Sun Hats

What age range are your sun hats typically designed for?

Our Children’s sun hats are designed to fit kids aged 6 months to 5 years. The adjustable straps mean the hat ‘grows’ as your child does.

Do your sun hats come in different styles and designs?

Our sun hats are available in our stunning hand-illustrated designs, including Cuddly Faces, Rosella, Cockatoo, By the River, Lady Elliot, Amongst the Ferns and more.

Do your sun hats provide UV protection?

Our sun hats are UPF50+ which is considered to provide excellent protection from the sun’s harmful rays, according to the Australian Government. UPF 50+ means that only up to 2% of ultraviolet radiation (both UVB and UVA) is able to penetrate the fabric which has been tested.

Are there any types of hats that are not recommended for sun protection?

Straw hats provide some protection from the sun, caps don’t protect the neck and shoulders, and visors don’t even protect the head.

Broad-brimmed bucket hats are most advised as they provide the best protection for the face, neck and shoulders – the bits that always find the sun first.

How often should parents replace their child’s sun hat?

If your child has grown out of their hat and can no longer wear it comfortably, then it’s time for a new hat! What makes our hats great is their adjustable straps so one Marmalade Lion hat could be used from 6 months to 5 years.

Are there any additional accessories that can enhance the sun protection of a sun hat?

Absolutely! Slip on a t’shirt. Slop on some sunscreen. Slap on a hat. Seek some shade. Slide on some sunnies. This will reduce the risk of skin damage from the sun.
