Today, many parents find it difficult to buy things even for themselves, because many are very poorly oriented in size. Often you just have to measure, and only then make a purchase. But if the situation is very simple with adults, then what about the kids? It is unlikely that anyone would want to obediently go shopping with his mother, and even more so try on the options he liked. As for hats, that is, certain sizes of children's hats that correspond to some parameters. This will facilitate the task of mom in choosing the right model.
The importance of headgear
With the birth of a baby, parents have a lot of trouble regarding clothes. After all, it is impossible to measure it, so you need to know the size. Moms are usually inexperienced in this matter, which is why many manufacturers simply indicate the age on the label, which greatly facilitates the purchase process. But if with clothes it is a little easier, then with a headdress everything is different. Of course, there are sizes of children's hats by age, but each child has its own head volume. Therefore, you need to choose especially carefully. In winter, it is very dangerous for a baby to get a cold head, and in summer it needs to be hidden from the hot sun. Therefore, the garment should not squeeze the head or, conversely, crawl into the eyes.
What you need to know before going to the store
No mom will drag her baby to the store just to buy him a hat. After all, such a procedure is painful enough for a little fidget, and besides, it is quite possible to do without it. Just know his head circumference and height. With these parameters, the mother will not have difficulties with how to determine the size of the children's hat. Head circumference should be measured with a centimeter along the superciliary arches. Height and age must be known because on many things they are indicated, but, unfortunately, even with such data you can be mistaken. There is a certain table that will help you find out the sizes of children's hats.

Materials in order to correctly determine the sizes of children's hats
Each mother in her arsenal must have everything necessary to choose the right hat for her growing child. To do this, you will need:
- centimeter;
- size table;
- thick thread.
In order to get accurate measurements, you also need patience. After all, a little fidget is not so easy to put on a fitting. Once all the results are received, you can go to the store. Then the chances of buying a suitable model are quite high.
Practical tips
As already mentioned above, going to your little ones for new clothes, you must first measure his height. It doesn’t depend on what clothes you are going to buy. Today, many manufacturers indicate precisely these numbers, even on headgear. Of course, growth alone is not enough. It is still important to know exactly the child's age and weight.
For those who are going to buy a hat for their baby, the last parameter is not necessary at all. Here you need to measure the head circumference. Measurement should be made parallel to the floor along the line where the headband should be. The result that will be obtained will become the size of the upcoming new thing. However, approximately one size corresponds to each age. So, for a child from 1 to 2 years old, the size of the baby hat 48 is suitable. For two-three-year-old children - 48-50 cm. And for three-four-year-old children - 50-52 cm. A soft centimeter tape is best suited for measuring head circumference . Usually it is used by dressmakers in their craft.
A thick thread is also suitable for these purposes. However, it is necessary to choose one that does not stretch so that the indicators are accurate. Measurements with the help of a thread must be carried out similarly to that carried out with a centimeter tape, but after it you need to attach it to the ruler and record the result. If the indicator has tenths, then it needs to be rounded up. Otherwise, the hat may be too tight. Some products have elastic tape. This helps, if necessary, to adjust the size to 3 centimeters. If the model you have chosen is a little large, then with the help of this tape it can be slightly reduced so that it fits well on the head and the baby is comfortable in it.
Thus, we see that buying a hat for a child is a very serious task that requires a certain approach. The baby should be comfortable in a hat, it should not cause him discomfort and spoil his mood while walking. To make such a purchase is quite simple if you follow all the instructions listed above. And it is not necessary to take a child with you to the shops. Treat your baby with love, and he will definitely reciprocate.
