Choosing a good children's warm hat is another task. It is necessary that it be warm, windproof, but at the same time comfortable so that the child does not sweat during active games.

Depends on age. For children 9-12 years old, the model can be any, the main thing is that it is sewn (knitted) from hypoallergenic materials, sits tightly, does not rise, opening the ears, and does not slip over the eyes.
For younger children, it is better to choose models made of waterproof fabric, with insulation and cotton lining and comfortable ties and buttons.
For kids under 3 years old, balaclava hats are great - they cover the neck (the strings will not rub delicate skin), they are not blown. And thanks to the lining of natural fabrics, they can be worn without additional bonnets or thin knitted hats.
The debate on this topic has been going on for a long time. In fact, both options are not bad - acrylic holds heat well, does not cause allergies, and it is much easier to care for it. Plus, knitted acrylic products dry much faster than wool ones.
The myths about the “pricklyness” of wool are also not true - in addition to merino (which can really be harsh), the same alpaca and angora are taken for children's clothes. The fabric of this thread is soft and delicate. But allergies to natural wool are indeed common.
So if you decide to buy a woolen hat for your baby, take it with a fleece, knitted lining. And yes, you need to wash things from any wool by hand, in barely warm water, using special products.
Good quality faux fur hats cost almost as much as real ones. Yes, they hold heat well and look great. But you can’t wash them, give them to dry cleaning too. So if the child is active, you should not take such a hat.
If you choose a model with pompoms, then pay attention to the type of attachment. It’s good if they come unfastened (some manufacturers just make ties) - you don’t have to tear them off every time before washing and then sew them back on.
The table below shows the standard head circumference measurements for children, depending on age.It's just not worth focusing only on these indicators. Sometimes manufacturers do not indicate numerical values at all, preferring to label products with the letters S, M, or simply indicate for what age the product is suitable.
Hats, helmets, balaclavas for babies are best taken after trying on, in order to understand how comfortable it sits, whether it fits in size.
The first is the composition of the fabric. If it says the upper is 100% acrylic or polyester, but the lining is cotton, there's nothing to worry about. The top layer will perfectly protect from wind, snow, and the lining will not allow the child to sweat.
The second is a heater. Usually a synthetic winterizer or holofiber is used. The first keeps heat well, but after several washes it can be deformed, clumped. Hollofiber is more like goose down in properties - it is more plastic, warmer.
Third, reviews. Especially if you order online. Pay attention to information related to the quality of tailoring, the conformity of products to the manufacturer's size chart.
Pay attention to user photos - conscientious manufacturers (whether from Russia or China) always sew in tags that indicate the brand name, fabric composition, type of insulation. If there is no tag, then the purchase should be abandoned - crooked seams and obviously counterfeit origin of the goods are not so bad, it will be much worse if the child develops an allergy.

And be sure to pay attention to the price - a high-quality hat cannot cost less than 700 rubles (without a discount). It’s better not to consider options for 300-400 rubles at all - a child in such a hat will be uncomfortable.
