Straw Lifeguard Hats: Sun-Safe Style for Every Age đ
The straw lifeguard hat is back in stockânow in three kidsâ sizes (baby, toddler, and youth) for a dialed-in fit. If your family loves long days at the beach, park, or pool, this surf-inspired essential delivers serious shade and all-day comfort.
1. Wide-Brim Sun Coverage
The oversized brim helps shield little faces, ears, and shoulders from direct raysâespecially during midday. Pair it with a kidsâ UPF 50+ rashguard for head-to-toe protection.
2. A Fit for Every Age
No âone size fits allâ hereâchoose from baby, toddler, and youth so each child gets a comfortable, secure fit theyâll actually keep on.
3. Chin Strap for Windy Days
Active play and ocean breezes are no problem. The built-in chin strap helps the hat stay put during sandcastle building, pool time, and stroller rides.
4. Travel-Ready Packing Hack
Straw hats donât foldâbut they are suitcase-friendly with a simple trick: place the hat upside down, then fill the crown with rolled swimwear to help it hold its shape. Toss in swim shorts and an extra rashguard and youâre set.
5. Surf Style, Everyday Practicality
Rooted in Santa Cruz surf culture, this hat looks good on every beach dayâand works just as well for parks, sports sidelines, and backyard hangs.
Pro Tip: Build a family âsun kitâ with a straw lifeguard hat for each kid, reef-safe sunscreen, and water bottles. Add a backup toddler sun hat to keep your day worry-free.
