Guide: Hats for children & babies

Find the perfect children's hat for the season – 6 hat favorites!

It can be tricky to figure out what kind of hat your child needs. Luckily, at Geggamoja we have children's hats for all ages in several different styles to suit every season. We have hats for children and babies in wool, cotton, or fleece – as well as warm, lined hats for colder days. We state both the size and recommended age on all our children's hats. However, it is important to note that the stated age is only a recommendation. Our hats are flexible and stretchy and tend to run slightly large.

If you have questions about measurements, you can always check our size guide, or contact us at kundtjanst@geggamoja.com and we will be happy to help.

To ensure your child is comfortable year-round, it is important to choose the right type of hat for each season. During spring and summer, thin cotton or bamboo hats that breathe well are recommended.

Autumn and winter require warmer options such as lined hats or wool hats to provide optimal warmth and protection. Geggamoja offers a wide range of hats suited for all seasons..
To ensure your child's hat fits well, it should be snug without pressing or slipping off. A good fit means the hat covers the ears and stays securely in place without leaving marks on the skin.

Choose a hat made of stretchy material, such as organic cotton or ribbed bamboo, for a comfortable and flexible fit. Hats with adjustable elastic or ties are also good options for active young children.

If the hat often slips up or leaves marks on the forehead, it may be time to change the size. Check the size guide at Geggamoja to find the perfect fit for your child.
Barns' temperature regulation systems are not fully developed, making them sensitive to temperature changes. A hat helps retain body heat, especially during colder months, and protects against wind and drafts.

For newborns, a thin hat indoors can also be beneficial to help them maintain a stable body temperature.

The choice of material in a children's hat affects both comfort and function. Organic cotton and bamboo are soft, breathable, and excellent for warmer weather. Wool is ideal for colder temperatures due to its heat-insulating properties and ability to wick away moisture.
To preserve the quality of your child's hat, it is important to follow the care instructions carefully. Generally, it is recommended to wash cotton and bamboo hats at 40 degrees with similar colors and let them air dry. Wool hats should be hand washed or washed on a gentle wool cycle with suitable detergent to avoid shrinking and maintain the material's properties.

Detailed care instructions can be found on each product's label or on Geggamoja's website.
