A baby sun hat or child's sun hat is an essential part of every kid's summer wardrobe. These fun and fashionable hats protect tender scalps and faces.
Kids’ sun protective clothing and hats protect young skin from the damaging effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Also, sun damage accumulates over a lifetime, so it’s essential to start early to protect kids from developing sun-related skin conditions later in life.
Wearing sun hats is especially important for babies and toddlers who have yet to grow a full head of hair. Not only does a good sun hat protect the top of the head, a hat with a brim and a neck flap will shade the face and neck.
Some sun protective clothing makers report the ultraviolet protection factor, or UPF, of their sun hats. A hat with a UPF of 30, for example, allows only 1/30th of ultraviolet radiation to penetrate to the skin
