A front brim and neck cape, with a stretch fit. Check the actual coverage and fit on the child; the AI concept image is not a photo of this model.

An infant-labeled reversible bucket shape. Its size name is not a substitute for a circumference measurement.

A kids-labeled bucket style. Compare the shape and the stated circumference range rather than choosing from a photo or age alone.
