"Used it on our flights from Melbourne to Rome and it was a game changer! Bub settled quickly and was able to stay asleep when the cabin lights came on. A must have for travelling!"

Isabella, Victoria

Nap Hat™ - Bondi Blue

★★★★★

"Honestly can't believe how much faster my 3 m/o settles when using this hat. She's a real fomo baby so blocking out everything really helps to settle her. "

Vanessa, Victoria

★★★★★

"Our little one naps in the pram now! We're always conscious of the sun shining in her eyes so this hat comes everywhere."

★★★★★

"Bub slept for nearly the entire flight. The hat is adorable too - so many people asked where I got it. Already recommended it to every mum I know."

Blake, Western Australia

Nap Hat™ - Outback Oat

★★★★★

"Perfect for blocking the sun on our daily walks. So much easier/safer than putting a blanket over the pram. Wish I found this sooner!!"

Hannah, South Australia

Nap Hat™ - Bondi Blue

★★★★★

"A lifesaver for long drives!! Even with window shades, there's always one annoying patch of sunlight that gets in bub's eyes. Now we just keep a Nap Hat in the car and bub sleeps right through!"

Freya, Australian Capital Territory

Nap Hat™ - Bondi Blue

★★★★★

"A must-have for our nappy bag. We're always on the go so it helps to have a Nap Hat up our sleeve when our baby just won't sleep. Anything to keep some sort of nap routine with three kids and a hectic schedule!"

Liana, New South Wales

"Won't a baby sleep hat be too hot?" The honest answer for Australian parents

FAQ

Won't my baby get too hot?

The hat and eye mask are lightweight cotton jersey - breathable, natural fibre, designed for daytime wear in all conditions. It's not a warmth layer. We don't recommend it in extreme heat and, as always, keep an eye on your baby when in use.

How do I know which size to get?

We offer four sizes to take your bub from newborn to 18 months: 0–3m, 3–6m, 6–12m and 12–18m. If your baby is between sizes, measure around the widest part of their head and match it to the size guide found here. Most parents find their baby's age lines up nicely with the corresponding size.

Will my baby actually keep it on?

The stretch cotton-and-lycra band sits snug around the ears with no loose edge to grab - so little hands can't get a handle on it.

Is it safe?

Yes. Like any baby product, the Nap Hat is designed for supervised use - and used that way, it's straightforward and safe. The fold-down eye mask covers the eyes only, its curved edge sitting clear of the nose and mouth at all times so you can always see your baby is breathing freely. There are no small parts, no sharp edges, and child-safe stitching throughout. Not for cots, bassinets, or overnight sleep. Keep your baby in view, the same as you would with any hat.

What's it actually made from?

The hat and eye panel are 100% cotton jersey. The rib band is 95% cotton, 5% elastane. The whole hat is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified - independently tested against more than 100 harmful substances, including pesticides, heavy metals and toxic dyes.
