An unexpected benefit of these fleece hats, particularly the "larger than life" ones (a term my friend Jamie used to refer to Ally's hat), is that they offer some protection to the head!
Ally somehow took a head first tumble down a set of concrete stairs at my dentist office. I saw her land right on the left side of her forehead, just a split second too soon to catch her.
When I picked her up, she had a secondary scrape on her nose and a trickle of blood where she'd bitten her lip. I removed her hat, expecting to see a huge lump, but it was just slightly pink.
So, those two bunched up layers of fleece...they're practically as good as helmet!
(This statement has not been proven by the AAP.) :)
