A cap that fits stays on, keeps the ears covered and feels comfortable all day. Baby heads grow quickly, so the age on a label is only a rough guide. The most reliable way is to measure.
How to measure
- Use a soft measuring tape.
- Measure around the widest part of your child's head, just above the ears and eyebrows.
- Keep the tape snug, but not too tight.
Write the number down in centimetres. MINIX caps are sized by head circumference, for example 38–40 or 44–46.

Cotton or knitted: does it change the size?
Knitted caps are naturally stretchy, so choose your exact size for a snug, warm fit. Caps with ties can be adjusted a little under the chin.
