My almost 3 year old daughter is showing an interest in horses and has been offered the chance to ride a friends saint of a shetland whenever she wants.
I want to get her a proper hat that will last her but I'm a bit confused about what to get - I've read some guidance that at such a young age they should simply ride in a bike helmet as the weight of the proper hats is too much for their neck. I was thinking about the polly product hat but that doesn't seem to be as easy to source these days - I've spotted a decatholon alternative but I'm not sure how they compare.
What are the basic safety standards these days for kids hats and can anyone recommend a good one?
