How do I know if a kids' hat will stay on during play?

Check for an elastic band, adjustable strap or a snug crown that holds the hat without being too tight.

Are swim hats different from regular sun hats?

Swim hats are usually made of quick-dry fabric and have a tighter fit to stay on in water.
