The sky is blue, the birds are singing, and the sun is out — it must be summer. While we all love to soak up the delicious warmth of the season, our babies need special protection. The sun is harsh on baby's eyes and skin, so it's essential that you have sun hats on hands for your little one whenever they're going out in the sun.
You want something that is cool and breathable while also making sure that the most sensitive areas on their heads have shade. Babies’ eyes, ears, and faces are prone to burning, so keeping them cool and shaded is paramount. Also, babies under the age of 6 months can't wear sunscreen yet, so baby sun hats offer more protection from the damaging UV rays in a fashionable, comfortable way.
Whether you're looking to stroll around shopping, or you're headed to a day at the park, these baby sun hats will keep your little one safe and cool.
