In Search Of a baby hat

I'm having a hard time finding a hat for my baby that covers his forehead and ears and stays on his head. His head circumference is about 15", but I'm sure it will keep growing fast. I like the looks of the winter pilot's caps from Hanna Anderson but don't want to pay $22 +shipping.

Anyone have anything?

Thanks

He's 3 months. The old navy one might work. Smallest size says 18". Nearest ON is 2.5 hrs. Might be making a trip there though - it would give me a lot of stores to check. We don't have anything good here.

We have one from tcp that we got last year, it's never came off his head, this year or last. It similar to this but different.

Thanks - I'll hit up TCP too when I go I've really been needing a day out w/o kids - baby will come of course. I found one and altered it to stay on his head (making the strap actually touch his chin), but it still fits too high - goofy

The ON ones have worked well for us. We had one from Kohl's when ds was tiny, too.

We used the Old Navy ones for DS last year and liked them.The only issue I could think of with a baby is getting the strap to stay under their chin. They're a bit thin but DS usually had a hood over it anyway.

We have used the Old Navy ones and Columbia ones! The Columbia ones are amazing! We have used a few from Gymbo to, but they fell apart right away!

I'm having the same problem!! Old Navy USED to make them 0-3, 3-6, etc. But now they only have XS + I wish I could find my old 0-3 one.

The reviews I read said the XS is still huge on her 6 month old.

DD's head is 15.5"

Maybe we'll hit up old navy/TCP today and take some pictures for you. I made a trip to ON a few weeks ago and they didn't even HAVE those hats yet. Maybe the other store will have them today.

And Tumble, that would be great, sounds like they'd wear the same size

I'm planning a trip to Hanna Andersson probably on Friday. If you want to give me a max spending limit, maybe they will have some winter pilot caps on sale or something and I could grab one for you. You never know.
