Why Fit Matters for a Baby Hat
A well-fitting baby hat stays put, keeps your little one warm, and avoids discomfort. The Magnetic Hat from Magnetic Me is designed with a soft sherpa fleece exterior and a clever magnetic closure that makes putting it on and taking it off quick and fuss-free. But getting the right size is key to making those features work for you.

How to Choose the Right Size
Follow these steps to select the best size for your baby.
- Check the size range: Both Magnetic Hat options come in five sizes: 0-6M, 6-12M, 12-18M, 18-24M, and 2T-4T. Choose the size that matches your baby's current age range, but consider head circumference for a snug fit.
- Measure your baby's head: Use a soft measuring tape around the widest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and ears. Compare the measurement to the hat's size chart if available. The hat should fit snugly without being tight.
- Consider growth room: Babies grow quickly, so if your little one is near the top of a size range, consider sizing up for longer use. A slightly larger hat can still fit well thanks to the soft fleece and magnetic closure.
- Test the fit with the magnetic closure: The magnetic closure makes it easy to adjust the hat without struggling. Once on, check that the hat covers the ears and forehead comfortably, and that the magnet holds securely without gaps.
Tips for a Good Fit
The sherpa fleece material is soft and stretchy, which helps the hat conform to your baby's head shape. The magnetic closure is especially helpful for babies who dislike having a hat pulled over their head—just bring the two sides together and the magnet does the rest. For newborns, a snug fit that doesn't slip over the eyes is important. For toddlers, a hat that stays on during active play is ideal.
When to Size Up
If your baby is between sizes, or if you want the hat to last through a season of growth, sizing up is a practical choice. The sherpa fleece retains warmth even with a bit of extra room, and the magnetic closure helps keep the hat in place. Just avoid a size that is too large, as it may slide down over the eyes or let cold air in.
