Does anyone have experience these Sunday Afternoon hats and iPlays similar versions? Trying to decide between the two brands for my 15mo twins.... TIA

Sunday afternoon's play hat is great. provided excellent protection from the Sun and fit well. You can also adjust the hat with the pull string. Don't know anything about iplays.

The Sunday Afternoons "Sport" hat DOES have a ponytail hole. The Adult medium "Sport" hat is not all that much larger than the Child size "Play" hat. We have both and my 3 year old son can almost wear his mother's Medium "Sport" Hat. Sunday Afternoons Sport Hat

The other responses are accurate. Unless you have a really big 7 year old. But, if I was a 7 year old and saw that hat (it's awesome) I'd say, "Granddad, please buy it for me. I'll grow into it!"

They seem to work really well on my daughter most of the day. Would come off sometimes in late afternoon. They did not work for her friend. They fell off within 2 hours. They only thing I can think of is maybe some kids touch their ears more than others?? Sorry!

You might want to try one on at a local place? Or measure the head and look at the sizing chart. The Full90 is adjustable with Velcro to give a more custom fit. Didn't want one too big because you need it to stay on the head. We got the sm/med for my 11 year old.

Hey Victor, I'd have to say the one I ended up with was the standard. I honestly didn't pay attention to the fact that it was offered in different sizes. I know that doesn't help much. Best I can tell you is that I've got a pretty big dome. I wear a 7-3/8" fitted cap. The Hardhat doesn't make my head look too large and fits/looks like every other hard hat I've ever had.

What I did, because I was not sure either, was I went off her hat size (e.g. is her winter hat a toddler size, or child size?) In my personal experience, a small child sized snug winter hat (not knit) meant that a child sized helmet fit perfectly. To double check, a quick trip to the helmet section of a Target or Kmart would probably verify the correct size. Best wishes.

I bought these for my two nieces who loved them, and their mother was able to wear them, too. I haven't seen them personally, but according to them, they fit both adults and kids. Hope this helps.

I have one with the Smaller Eyes. It's actually the TY 2.0 version. Has 2007 tush tag, TY tag and Online Play tag. $9.75 plus shipping. See at "TY Beanie Babies VINES Monkey" ad. Hope this information is helpful !

I love these hats. We certainly use them poolside and at the beach. The chinstrap makes it virtually impossible for the hat to blow off and it dries quickly. We haven't had any trouble with the hats getting dirty. That being said, I don't know that the hat would hold up well if it were going to be drenched all of the time. The brim might get pretty floppy. It is a great way to protect from the harmful rays of the sun!

Actually you can wear these things multiple ways, and if I remember correctly there is instructions on how to wear them. I've been wearing these for many, many years. I highly recommend! You can Google the more expensive brand "Buff" headwear and I'm sure they have the instructions there too. Goodluck, and enjoy.

I bought them both. First I bought the age-appropriate, larger size. It was uncomfortable and difficult to remove causing more and more discomfort over the several days I needed it. I decided to take a chance and bought the smaller size because overall, I like the product concept. The smaller size is MUCH more comfortable and removal is not a problem. It still fits and does not feel as if it will "fall out" or anything like that. it's only slightly smaller, (more tapered,) with a slightly smaller ring at the top.

This is a chef's hat for an adult. If you want a chef's hat for a baby, I have seen them on the site called Etsy. Good Luck!

My 3 year old grandson has some of both and I would say that they are comparable. They both hold up to his playing with them about the same. He has not worn either of them out.

I bought this for the same issue. I don't have the actual measurement but can tell you that my 2.5 year old has a head circumfrence that is literally off the chart. I bought this for him and it fits him nicely. It fits my almost 5 year old too, so I ended up buying two. Its a slightly different shape than other bike helmets (this is a little rounder than typical bike helmets), which actually works better for my 2.5 year old son. They used them for most of the summer, left them out in the rain at times and they are both in really good shape - the decal hasn't peeled or scraped off and the buckles and foam have held up well. I would recommend this. I bought this for the same issue. I don't have the actual measurement but can tell you that my 2.5 year old has a head circumfrence that is literally off the chart.

Sorry so late to reply, but I just now saw this. I have a pretty big head (hat size 7 3/4) and these fit fine. They go around the back of your neck, not over the crown of your head.It's possible your head might be too wide, ears too far apart (everyone's head is shaped differently), but they work fine and are very comfortable on my big head.

Dorothy, I saw your post while Christmas shopping and was wondering if you had any luck finding a weather system. My husband would love one but I got so lost in the search last Christmas I just put off buying one. Can you tell me what's worked best for you? Thanks, Rhonda
