Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

You can just buy cotton tape from a needlework shop and sew a couple of bits on.

I got one from H&M for DD.

She can still get it off even with the sting on though!

I used to get mine from Gap,I used to buy up all the big sizes in advance when I saw them as they were the only place I ever saw them.

I also had a fab one from France that had a draw string on the crown which stopped it coming off.

Completely agree smallchange, there are loads of sensible girls sunhats, but boys, even teeny ones, seem to have a silly baseball cap available to them, or nothing

Yep Gap is the only place I've seen them. Weird as you seem to be able to get lots of pink flowery ones that fasten under the chin.

Is a fastening considered unmanly or something by the children's clothing industry? hmm

You could probably rig up ties yourself quite easily with a bit of ribbon and some velcro.

I have a lion in the sun one that I got from green baby. It's lovely. It is supposed to be for age 2 but fits ds aged 3.3 nicely, so I recommend going for a size down with this brand.

everywhere has sold out IME
you may have to sew a string on

We have one that we got in Australia (not very useful) - sunsuit material, legionnaire's style with a neck flap and a chin tie. The brand is Ozone so you might find one online.

Got one from Gap with a Velcro chin strap for my hat resistant ds2 who is 16 months, it stays on his head very well!
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Thu 02-Jul-09 14:39:05
BTW, he has a small head for his age so if it's from a more baby aged range still might fit smile

I need some kind of sunhat for Ds 20months that will tie under his chin. Everytime I try to get him to wear any kind of hat he just pulls it off. He's fair and I don't want him getting too hot. Anyone know anywhere I can get one?
