The head grows to almost 80 per cent of the adult size during the children’s first year. We have found that for hat sizing purposes head measurement is more important than the child’s age. That is why that with the exception of infants, we do not list sizes by age. Our experience has shown us that the size small is very small and only fits infants. Please measure your child’s head. OTHER THAN FOR INFANTS, AVOID SIZE SMALL.
