Ponytail Swim Bucket Beach Hat - Stevie

The Bedhead Ponytail Swim Bucket Hat is the perfect UPF50+ sun hat for kids, featuring our innovative 'anti-flop' brim that stays in place, even when wet. Designed with a discreet ponytail keyhole, this swim hat combines classic style with unmatched comfort and fit.

Crafted from high-quality, chlorine-resistant nylon stretch knit, our swim hats dry quickly and are ideal for water play at the beach, lake, swimming pool, or even splashing around under the hose! For everyday use, we recommend our cooler, cotton-rich hats, which are part of our non-swim range.

The lilac design, adorned with cream triangular dots, offers a stylish alternative to traditional pink hats. This hat is available in Legionnaire, Ponytail Bucket, and Wet Bag styles. Best Suited For: Fully mobile children who love to walk, run, and play endlessly in wet environments.

Size Guide & Brim Depth:
No two heads are the same, so it's essential to measure your child's head before purchasing to ensure the perfect fit. Our hats are stretchy and will grow up to 4cm, providing lasting wear.

How to Measure:
1. Distract your child with a toy or snack to keep them still.
2. Use a measuring tape to measure around their head. Alternatively, use a ribbon to measure, then use a ruler to find the length.
3. Choose the hat size closest to your child’s measurement.

Example: If your child measures 53cm, select the 54cm size for extended wear. Choosing a hat that fits properly ensures comfort and prevents the hat from blocking vision, reducing the chance they'll want to take it off.
