10 Best Baby Headbands Reviewed in 2024

Design

Soft, chiffon flowers adorn most of the headbands in these fancy sets. There are a few with more simple gold detailing, or a rustic-looking ribbon for those shabby-chic days. If you want to share the magic of your little one with the world, we suggest opting for one of the beautiful flower crowns!

Comfort

Some users have had issues with consistency in sizing, but otherwise all reports indicate that these headbands are soft and won’t leave a mark on Baby’s sweet head if they have to stretch a little bit to fit!

Value

These are a few dollars below the market average. And the fact that they come in multi-packs means you’re often getting more pieces than usual and still at a lower overall price!

Design

The band has a 14-inch circumference but is an elastic material providing the stretch to grow up to a few inches. The headbands can be hand washed and air dried and will maintain their quality over time. They are safe to wear as infants can easily pull them off, yet they won’t pose a choking hazard as they are large enough to prevent choking. The headbands are stretchy enough that they can fit infants, toddlers, and even young children up to 6 years old, on average- depending on head size.

Comfort

The standard fit seems to accommodate babies between seven weeks and a little under a year. They’re stretchy and soft without many complaints about leaving those nasty elastic marks behind. They do have small pieces and they can be pulled down by curious little hands though, so keep an eye on children wearing them who might tug the fabric down to cover their mouth.

Value

We love the overall design on these headbands… the pretty little rhinestone in the center of the flower is the perfect way to let people know your baby’s sex.

Design

They have ample room for growing babies, giving them a long life to coordinate with their wardrobe. Each set comes on a cute display card that makes it easy to select and even store the headbands, plus if giving as a gift, it is adorable. They are simple, but yet give that added touch of style that makes your baby's outfit even cuter. The trendy design and unique bows make these a perfect accessory for any baby’s wardrobe.

Comfort

Super-soft and gentle, these headbands are appropriate for a newborn, but also tough enough to last until they become a toddler. The nylon bands provide a gentle and soft fit on their sensitive skin.

Value

The soft and gentle nylon that the headband piece has been created from is nice for newborns and even better on their sensitive skin. Great buy for the whole set.

Design

The bows are made with various materials and patterns such as pink sparkly sequins, preppy black, and white stripes, navy with white little polka dots, grey felt, an oversized pink bow, a tiny delicate ivory bow, a floral print, and a faux velvet blue bow. Each headband initially measures 13 inches in circumference which fits many newborns. They are adjustable, as they can be stretched by hand to fit your baby’s head size comfortably. They are designed to fit newborns through toddlers three years old.

Comfort

The headbands featured in this set are great in that they are initially sized for tiny newborn heads, but can be adjusted to grow with your baby over time. Each headband can be manipulated by hand to stretch so it can fit your baby’s head as it grows. This means that the set can last your baby over time without providing discomfort or leaving a mark from tightness.

Value

These headbands are not only different in style by color and bow size, but they also are made with all different materials. We love the variety in textures this set provides to experiment with your baby’s clothes.

Design

The bows include two loops and two ribbon tails. These headbands are easy to slide over a baby’s head and secure in place. They are comfortable, not too tight to leave a mark, but not too loose to slide down or fall off. There are so many different colors, providing the opportunity to match with nearly any outfit you can think of. They are elastic, so they can fit a range of head sizes.

Comfort

The grosgrain ribbons aren’t going to be super comfy, as that material can feel a little stiff and irritating, especially to soft, sensitive baby skin. But the headband itself is made from a soft, stretchy material. These are hot-glued together, so be delicate with them and make sure Baby doesn’t yank the bow off and stick it in their mouth.

Value

These headbands can be adjusted so that they stay in place on your baby’s head, without sliding and moving the ribbon or falling down your baby’s face.

Design

Clusters of flowers sit atop a skinny nylon headpiece. They’re soft so as not to hurt Baby or cause any discomfort. All materials used meet CPSIA standards. The bows are roughly 4.5 inches across and the headbands are 5.5 inches but stretch to accommodate slightly larger noggins, too.

Comfort

This design truly makes comfort a priority. The skinny headband ensures there won’t be bulky fabric bunching up behind Baby’s ears to irritate them. And a felt patch beneath the flower clusters keep any potentially scratchy or agitating material away from your little one’s sensitive skin.

Value

These flowers hover right above the average price for similar headband sets. They cost just a few dollars more but they also have high reviews concerning quality.

Design

Patterns range from soft polka dots, florals, and paisleys, to vivid colors featuring celestial prints or baby animals. All YogaSprouts headbands are made of 92% cotton and 8% spandex, rendering them both soft and stretchy. They’re machine washable (which we know is a huge plus when it comes to literally anything baby-related). They’re made to fit securely around little heads without being uncomfortable, so they’re a solid option for active little ones! In the spirit of happy baby pose, YogaSprouts strives to make only the most fashionable and comfortable apparel for infants and toddlers.

Comfort

These headbands are nice and thick and also made from soft cotton. This means they won’t dig into baby’s soft head and are more likely to stay put as their larger area gives them a little more grip. They’re all machine washable, so if baby gets into trouble, they can still come out clean!

Value

They’re so stinkin’ cute, and super soft besides. Babies can be fussy about what they wear. You want your little one to look great and feel great; YogaSprouts is onboard with that mission.

Design

The wrap is a piece of stretchy fabric that comes together in a "tie"-type design.

Inside each package, you will find seven different colored wraps, best-suited for babies who are 0 to 6 months old. Adding to their outfit is easy with these wraps, especially when they are this cute.

The fabric is light and meant not to leave any marks on your little pea’s head or cause them discomfort.

Comfort

These are cute and versatile. There are plenty of choices to swap out with your baby’s wardrobe and they’re super soft and comfortable. The bows are also proportionally sized so they won’t flop or look too large like some bows do.

Value

There’s a quaint kind of handmade aesthetic to these that we find very charming. Additionally, they’re super comfy, and are versatile enough that you can mix and match with plenty of outfits! They’re great for newborns, which can be a difficult size to find as plenty of headbands are made for slightly older babies.

Design

The material is knotted in a simple “rabbit ear” tie that can be worn anywhere along the top of the head. The circumference of each of the headbands is between 11 and 14 inches, depending on how much they have been stretched. They are super comfortable, made with an elastic synthetic cotton that is both soft and stretchy.

Comfort

Who’s looking fun and funky? Your baby, that’s who! These soft cotton headbands are thick and plush. Soft, stretchy, and snuggly, the only thing to keep an eye on is the loose fit on small heads.

Value

These headbands are super trendy and cute! The turban knotted look is an awesome popular urban look that isn’t super princess-like or girly. It’s casual and great for everyday use.
