The Bedhead Ponytail Bucket gives active kids the same UPF50+ everyday protection as our Classic Bucket, with a discreet opening at the back so ponytails and braids can sit comfortably outside the hat. Made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane jersey, its foam anti-flop brim stays up and out of little eyes while they play.
Sweet bows dance across a soft pink base in Ballerina, a gentle print made for twirling, skipping and sunny little moments.
With both the fabric and finished hat design tested for UPF protection, you can feel confident while they get on with school, playgrounds and sunny adventures. Keeping long hair off hot necks makes this an easy favourite for kids who like wearing their hair up.
BEST SUITED TO: Fully mobile kids with longer hair who love ponytails, braids and busy outdoor play.

Size Advice & Brim Depth
One fact you can be sure of - no two heads are the same! ALWAYS measure your child's head before purchasing to ensure getting the accurate size.
Step 1: Distract the child with a toy or food (so they don't try and help you!).
Step 2: Use a measuring tape to take measurement. Otherwise use a ribbon to take the size then use a ruler to find the measurement.
Step 3: Purchase the size closest to your childs measurement. Our hats are very stretchy and will grow up to 4cm.
FOR EXAMPLE: The child measures 53cm, you will need the 54cm that will give you a lot of future wear. It's important to get the hat closest to your head size, if it's too big the hat will block the child's vision, causing uncomfort and a good chance of them pulling it off.
