Quick answer
Style your toddler's Candybar Hat by adjusting the one-size-fits-most canvas strap, pairing it with casual or dressy outfits, and cleaning it gently to keep the logo crisp.
Why the Candybar Hat works for toddlers
The Candybar Hat is an adult-sized adjustable canvas hat from New Era®, so it's not a toddler-specific design. However, its one-size-fits-most strap can be cinched down to fit smaller heads, making it a fun accessory for toddlers who enjoy wearing hats. The candy bar logo adds a playful touch that matches the brand's toy car vibe.
Because the hat is canvas and structured, it offers some sun protection for the face and neck when worn correctly. Keep in mind that it lacks a chin strap, so it may not stay on during active play unless fitted snugly.
Step-by-step styling guide
- Adjust the fit first: Use the snap or strap closure at the back to tighten the hat until it sits snugly on your toddler's head without sliding down over their eyes. The hat should stay in place when they shake their head gently. If the hat still feels loose after tightening, it may be too large for your child—try it again in a few months.
- Pair with casual play outfits: Match the Candybar Hat with a simple t-shirt and shorts or jeans for a relaxed, everyday look. The canvas material and logo work well with neutral or bright colors. Avoid overly formal clothing to keep the vibe playful. The hat's structured brim can be a bit stiff for very active toddlers—consider bending it slightly for a softer curve.
- Use for sun protection during outdoor time: Position the hat so the brim shades your toddler's face, ears, and neck. Reapply sunscreen on exposed skin since the hat only covers the top of the head and part of the face. Canvas hats can get warm in direct sun; take breaks indoors or in shade to prevent overheating.
- Clean the hat gently: Spot clean the Candybar Hat with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking, as that can distort the shape and fade the logo. Air dry away from direct heat. Canvas can shrink if exposed to high heat, so never use a dryer or iron on the hat.
- Store properly when not in use: Keep the hat on a flat surface or hang it by the strap to maintain its shape. Avoid crushing it in a drawer or bag, as the brim can crease permanently. If the brim gets bent, you can gently reshape it with your hands—no steaming needed.
