Girls' Trapper Hats for Ages 2 to 8
Trapper hats for girls aged 2 to 8 are made for cold school runs, park trips and winter holidays, when a simple beanie leaves her ears exposed. The defining feature is the ear flaps. They cover the ears and the sides of the face, and can be worn down in wind or folded up when it is milder. These styles sit within the Hats range and go well with a padded coat or snowsuit.
Hats are not sized like her clothes, so check the size on the product page and measure round her head just above the ears. If she is between sizes, go up one so the flaps sit comfortably over her ears. You may see this shape called an ear flap hat or aviator hat; it is the same style. Fabrics vary by design, so check the care label before washing.
Your questions answered
MINOTI trapper hats for girls aged 2 to 8 are winter hats with ear flaps that fold down over the ears, for school runs and park trips, with the size of each hat shown on its product page.
What size trapper hat does a 5-year-old need?
Check the size on the product page, then measure round her head about 1 cm above the ears and compare. If a 5-year-old is between sizes or has thick hair, choose the next size up.
Is a trapper hat warmer than a beanie for a young child?
Usually yes, because the ear flaps cover the ears and the sides of the face, which a beanie leaves partly open. That makes it a good choice in wind or on days below about 5°C. On milder days the flaps can be folded up.
