The age is a guideline to help select the correct size. These sizes are based on the average head circumference for a child of that age.
IMPORTANT:
Measure your child's head then add 2cm to choose the best size.
| SIZE | AGE |
MAX HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE | BRIM SIZE |
| XS | 6-12mths | 48cm | 6.0cm |
| S | 1-2yrs | 50cm | 6.5cm |
| M | 2-3yrs | 52cm | 6.5cm |
| L | 3-4yrs | 53cm | 7.0cm |
| XL | 4-6yrs | 54cm | 7.5cm |
- Use a soft measuring tape to measure the circumference of your child’s head about 1cm above the eyebrows. Make sure the tape is at the same height all around your head when measuring.
- If you do not have a soft measuring tape, use a string in the same way as indicated above to measure the head. Then lay the string straight and measure with a ruler.
