Wow!! I just read the title back to myself and it’s a mouthful! Try saying cinching-reversible-bucket-hat five times fast! Well, I would rather say a whole mouthful about a great hat than say skin cancer one time. Especially when it comes to my children.
Complete sun protection cannot be gained without the proper head wear!
Last week I wrote a post about how to get your child to wear a hat. The goal of the post was to share some tips I use and to receive some feedback back from the blog o’sphere, but I got nothin’ and my comment box is empty! What happened? Is hat-wearing not a concern for people or have you all been blessed with amazing hat-wearing-children? Or maybe you don’t have children and in that case you can’t relate personally to trying to get a baby or child to wear a hat, but you were once a child too. Was hat wearing a big priority when you were a child?
Well, I haven’t been blessed with hat-wearing-children and we are outside at least 70% of our day. We take walks everywhere; to the park, store, library, bank, craft store, to get pizza on a Friday afternoon, back to the park, and just to explore. Before we moved to the valley, we enjoyed amazing-sunny-living-near-the-beach-weather (which I miss soooo much!) The valley is another story. We really have to abide by the rule to stay out of the sun between the hours of 10am-4pm because being outdoors or walking around can be unbearable. So, naturally I want Journey and Faith to wear their hats, but it can be a real battle sometimes and it can be hard to find a hat that will actually stay on while they are running and playing.
I do use the sun hats with the under chin strap, but that seems to irritate Faith the most and she will take her hat off just because the chin strap is uncomfortable. With the Cinching Reversible Bucket Hat it doesn’t have a chin strap, but a cinching elastic cord to keep the hat on your child’s head! The cinching cord is also a UV reactive bead that changes color when exposed to the sun.
These reversible, two-color bucket hats allow you to mix and match so that you can add just the right accent to your UV Skinz.
See –> Perfect match!

exactly. Recently I saw some article that said that you can’t wear a hat to the beach because it might mess up your hair. I raged so much…

Cinching Bucket Hat. As far as getting him to wear hats, we have been making him wear a baseball cap since he was about a month old. He does ok with that. Can’t stand those little stretchy fabric hats you normally see on newborns. Haven’t ever tried a bucket hat without a chin strap, but I love the cinching idea! Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

I would like to win the Navy/Shark Camo Cinching Bucket Hat for my 5 year old son I actually don’t have a problem with the girls they feel fashionable when they have their hats on but my 5 year old conveniently loses (hides) his all the time and no matter if the hat is too big for him he says it’s squeezing his brain lol
