This hat is made from a light weight plastic and can break easily so not recommended for children under 5.

This is a Mini Hat so READ ABOUT FIT:
18 inch Dolls - The hat does not fit perfectly on the dolls head. It balances on the top and has an elastic to tie around the doll's chin. (dolls like SA Girl, American Girl, Our Generation)
13 - 14 inch Dolls - This hat works perfectly for dolls with a head of 9 - 10 inches around the top. (dolls like Hearts for Hearts, Disney Toddler, My First Princess, Corolle les Cheries, Melissa & Doug)
