Tip for keeping track of hats

[JillU-DVC]

Don't think I"ve seen this tip before, but we started doing this a year or so ago, and it works great.

It can be really hard to keep track of your cap or hat when at the parks - take it off inside, hold it for rides, to eat, etc.

I bought a smaller caribiner, and looped it through the strap of my fanny pack. It's one of the larger key-chain sized, that you can get at most camping stores, usually sold near the cash registers.

Whenever I take off my hat, I clip it to the caribiner. I have a Tilley hat, and there is a chin strap to help hold it on your head in high winds. This would also work for baseball caps - hook the strap in the back of the hat through the caribiner.

Now, I never worry about losing my hat, and I don't have to carry it when I take it off.

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing. I have a Disney Minnie Mouse key chain that's caribiner style ~ that will work perfect for holding my hat on our next WDW trip.

We always used mitten clips but the carabiner would be more secure.

OH! I love the caribiner suggestion! I just got a few lightweight ones at Wal-Mart last week! Thanks for that good idea!



(if you happen to be wearing a fannie pack, you can loop the hat strap through the fanny pack belt before your buckle it together)
