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.

I absolutely love Marmalade Lion in the last 6 years I have bought most items for my 2 daughters but my go to baby present is the broad brim hat. I simply love it, broad, fabulous fabric designs and never goes floppy. I’ve probably bought 20. ❤️

I love the products!! Have been using the same change mat for three years with probably monthly washes and it’s still going strong. The nesting birds are also a favourite in our house and although they are marketed as ornaments, my three year old plays with them soooo much and they have been dropped sooooo many times and they have not broken. Highly recommend. I usually but the change mats for mums expecting their first babies, it’s a great price point and they are always loved.

I bought several items from Marmelade Lion since my daughter was born in 2020. I got a change mat cover, pram liners, a picnic mat. I was happy with every single item and used them a lot! I also got a sun hat which I started using when my daughter was around 2yo. I lost it when I visited my family in France in June. I was quite sad because this hat was my favourite so I just bought a new one. Honestly I personally these sun hats are the best on the Australian market for kids 2 to 5 yo. They have adjustable head size and chin strap, they also have large stiff brim which make them great when it’s windy or when we go to the beach and the hat gets wet. I’d recommend the business to expand in Europe because in France I would not find sun hats with adjustable head size or chin straps. They just don’t seem to make these kinds of hats which chin straps for kids over 2yo. I think chin straps are great for windy days. Anyways! Highly recommended.

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 FacesRosellaCockatooBy the RiverLady ElliotAmongst 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.
