If you want to steer them towards spf hats and depending on budget, Wallaroo offers more stylish options and I have worn them for years, they hold up well. Here is a link to the kids section but they may be able to wear small adult hats? </p> <p><a href="https://wallaroohats.com/collections/kids-upf-50-hats" rel="nofollow">https://wallaroohats.com/collections/kids-upf-50-hats</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sun-hat-recos-for-bigger-kids#post-2927888 Thu, 19 Jan 2023 13:26:17 +0000 Corduroy 2927888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the recommendations on the rash guards. I'm a big rash guard fan. Fortunately I had a doctor recommended a rash guard to me in college before a trip to the South Pacific and I've been a rash guard evangelist ever since. I've even expanded to swim pants/leggings for the family because it's easier than sunblock. We'll see long my 9 year old will agree to that.</p> <p>I've had less luck convincing the kids to wear their hats. They have Sunday Afternoon hats and I agree they're awesome functionally but the kids want more stylish hats. </p> <p>I decided to let the kids shop for their own hats hoping they would pick something they would wear. These are their top contenders</p> <p>7 year old boy picked a white fedora<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08SM3D53V/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=A3UPOQZ89KZEOO&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08SM3D53V/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=A3UPOQZ89KZEOO&#038;psc=1</a></p> <p>9 year old girl picked a bacon bucket hat<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B38SK1G9?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B38SK1G9?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image</a></p> <p>I'm concerned there won't be enough brim on the hats so I'm also searching for like items with a bigger brim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sun-hat-recos-for-bigger-kids#post-2927882 Thu, 19 Jan 2023 04:39:11 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2927882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another recommendation for the Sunday Afternoon hats, they are the best. And rash guards/upf clothing when possible. Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sun-hat-recos-for-bigger-kids#post-2927879 Wed, 18 Jan 2023 15:38:25 +0000 caitcat 2927879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a hat recommendation, but I'll echo the rash guard/sun shirt suggestion. I got my girls some lightweight UPF shirts last year that made such a difference for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sun-hat-recos-for-bigger-kids#post-2927877 Tue, 17 Jan 2023 19:09:36 +0000 catgirl 2927877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 8 and wears this sunhat the most. She likes how it fits and I like how easily it adjusts and how much coverage it has. <a href="https://a.co/d/iEgpJ1P" rel="nofollow">https://a.co/d/iEgpJ1P</a></p> <p>She also has this one because she wanted one with a ponytail opening. She doesn't like it as much but does wear it occasionally. <a href="https://a.co/d/cu8mhVL" rel="nofollow">https://a.co/d/cu8mhVL</a></p> <p>Another big thing we do for sun protection is have her wear a rash guard for all sorts of outdoor adventures. A short sleeve rash guard keeps her shoulders and chest well protected from the sun and then I don't have to get as much sunscreen on her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sun-hat-recos-for-bigger-kids#post-2927876 Tue, 17 Jan 2023 17:40:44 +0000 Corduroy 2927876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have a recommendation for a sun hat that their kids will wear? My pale redhead kids are in 4th and 2nd grade. We're headed to Hawaii next month and I want to spend as little time fighting about hats and sun protection as possible. </p>
