Sizing Advice.
Always Measure for the Best Fit.
If you have questions about size, please let us know.
What size should I choose?
Each of our hat styles fit slightly differently, and therefore, they do have slightly different sizing recommendations. See below by hat style, and we've done our best to help you decide what size is correct. In EVERY case, though, the best way to know what size to order is to MEASURE your child's head circumference. We offer age ranges as a rough guideline but head shapes vary and children, even when "big" or "small" for their age can have widely varying head sizes. Age is NOT a reliable predictor.
* Bonnets--
Our modBonnets and ecoBonnets are exactly the same except for the choice of fabrics. Both tend to run LARGE. Except for the XXS which is designed to *actually* fit newborns, if in doubt, size down. Our XL bonnet is HUGE and is ONLY for children whose head circumference is above 21".
Our skiBonnets run small. Sizing up is advisable if your child is at the end of the size range. The fleece tends to be thick and while we prefer a very snug winter hat (no wind!), not everyone does. If you're in doubt, size up.
* Buckets--
These run true to size. If in doubt, size UP.
* Brimless bonnets--
These run true-to-size. If in doubt, size UP.
* Caps--
Our spring/summer caps tend to run true-to-size or a tad large. They are designed to fit all the way down on the head, so the edge of the cap is at about the bottom of the ear lobe. We designed the hats this way so they provide full sun protection for the entire ear.
The caps will appear TOO TALL if you're looking for an above-the-ear fit.
The caps fit best when worn at an angle, with the elasticized back down below the bulb of the head and the brim up just below the hairline.
If in doubt, size UP.
Our skiCaps run SMALL. If your child is towards the end of the size range and you do not want a snug fit (snug fits are great for wind protection), then please size UP.
* Pixies--
Our pixie hats run LARGE. They can be folded back even at the snap point for a smaller and shallower fit. Stay within the size range or if you're in doubt, size DOWN.
* Pilots & Ear Hats--
Pilots and ear hats use the same pattern. They tend to run LARGE. If in doubt, size down.

Our Guarantee.
Guaranteed for Life.
We never expect that there will be a problem. But we're human and our items are handmade. Every once in a while, a stinker of a snap or an off-kilter seam slips through, even though every single hat is triple checked for quality.
No matter what the problem is, if you're not happy, we're not happy. It's that simple.
And so, our bonnets are totally guaranteed against manufacturing defects, for LIFE. Shrinkage, wash fading, and color-bleeding when exposed to pool chemicals or sunscreens of any type are not considered manufacturer defects.
If you have a problem, email us and we'll work with you to make it right.
Warranty coverage extends even to people you pass the bonnet on to. They're guaranteed, forever. Once we see the defect, we will repair or replace your hat at our discretion.
Of course, we can't really help if your dog chews up your hat or if you accidentally put it in the blender.
Please note that because of variability of washing methods, washing machines, water temperatures, previous chemical exposures (i.e., sunscreen) and detergents, we do not guarantee that your 100% cotton bonnet will not shrink or fade or bleed in the wash.
But if it's something we didn't do quite right, we'll MAKE it right.
We're proud of our products and we stand behind them. 100%.

FAQ
What is the best way to protect Baby from the sun?
To protect a baby from the sun, prioritize shade and dress them in lightweight long sleeves, pants, and a wide-brimmed hat such as those from Urban Baby Bonnets. Use SPF 30+ mineral sunscreen sparingly on infants under six months and more broadly afterward, reapplying regularly and avoiding peak sun hours.
Are baby bonnets safe for newborns?
Yes, Urban Baby Bonnets are designed with newborn safety in mind. They’re made from soft, breathable fabrics that are gentle on delicate skin. Straps are short enough to reduce risk but secure enough to stay in place. However, bonnets should always be removed during sleep for safety.
Will the Bonnet stay on an active baby?
Yes—it’s part of the UB2 magic. Urban Baby Bonnets are designed to stay put through wiggly legs, wind, stroller rides, and serious outdoor investigating. The ties keep things secure without irritating delicate skin. When the fit is right, that bonnet becomes a trusty little sidekick for every outing.
What type of sun hat provides the best sun protection?
Urban Baby Bonnets' signature brims and generous coverage give your babe soft, natural shade over the face, ears, and neck. It’s perfect for everyday outdoor time. Think of your Urban Baby Bonnet as wearable shade—crafted for curious, outdoor-loving littles. No slathering necessary.
Should I choose a hat with a wide brim or a neck flap?
Urban Baby Bonnets' truly wide brims naturally create substantial shade around your baby’s face. Our curved bucket design also protects the neck without any bulky flaps that can unsnap. We keep things simple—breathable fabrics, smart shaping, and easy, comfortable coverage that never gets in the way of play.
How do I keep my Baby from pulling off their hat?
While ties will keep hats secure on some babies, Urban Baby Bonnets' exclusive, adjustable, and soft snap straps help the bonnet stay put, even on curious, hat-phobic little explorers. Because it’s lightweight and comfy, babies forget they’re wearing it—no tugging, no fuss. When a hat fits naturally, keeping it on is beautifully effortless.
Are chin straps safe?
Long chin ties can be risky for babies, so Urban Baby Bonnets features short, gentle fabric snap straps that adjust for a secure, cozy fit. Soft, safe, and never restrictive, they stay comfortable while keeping little ones protected, letting them explore the sunshine with ease—and giving parents peace of mind.
Does UPF fabric have chemicals in it?
UPF fabrics are often treated with UV-absorbing dyes or chemical finishes. Because safety is a top concern for babies, Urban Baby Bonnets NEVER treats or uses any chemically treated fabrics. Our sun protection is achieved through careful, thoughtful product design and certified by independent laboratory testing.
