Magnetic Hat Clips

The Spixal Magnetic Hat Clip attaches to a bag rather than being worn around the child's neck. Use it as a hat-carrying accessory and check that it is appropriate for the child and their school or centre.

Check the clip regularly for damage and stop using it if a magnet or other small part becomes loose. Keep magnetic accessories out of the reach of children under three, and do not let a child chew or play with the clip. Follow the product's instructions and the school's accessory rules. Attaching it to a bag avoids a neck cord, but that alone is not a guarantee that an accessory is suitable for every child.

Keep the hat on the outside of the school bag. A Spixal magnetic hat clip hooks onto the bag's D-ring, strap or handle and holds the hat with a magnet, so it's on the bag on No Hat, No Play days and easy for kids to take off and put back themselves. Every Spixal Junior backpack has a D-ring made for the clip.

Give the hat a regular spot: clipped on before leaving home, back on the clip after play. Practise that movement with your child while the bag is on a hook. Attach the clip where the hat will not drag on the ground or cover a zip they use often. It makes the missing-hat check a quick glance at the bag, rather than another search through the lunch compartment.

Junior hat clips have a leather magnetic disc, a soft nylon loop and a cap charm, in bright colours for kindy and primary kids. Axis hat clips have a round disc, black chain links and a fabric tab, in colours that match the Axis kids backpack for older primary and high school.

Choose the style to match the bag and the person using it, then check how they will reach the hat when the bag hangs on a hook. Junior and Axis have different decorative details, but the everyday job is the same: a visible place to carry the hat. A child who prefers a plain bag may like the simpler match. Let them practise attaching their own hat so the clip becomes part of the daily routine.

Yes. They clip onto a D-ring, strap, handle or zip loop. Every Spixal Junior backpack has a D-ring on the front made for the hat clip.

Choose a secure attachment point that is easy to reach when the bag is hanging up. Test it with the actual hat, because thick seams and differently shaped brims sit differently between the magnets. Before heading out, give the attached hat a gentle check and make sure it is clear of the ground. The clip is for carrying a hat between uses; put the hat back on for outdoor play.

The Junior magnetic hat clip is designed for younger children and pairs with the Junior backpack. Practise with your child's own hat to check they can attach and remove it comfortably.

Show your child how to separate the magnetic parts and place their own hat between them. Try it with the bag on the hook they normally use, so the movement feels familiar at drop-off. Check that they can reach the clip and that the hat hangs clear of the ground. The useful test is whether they can repeat the routine, rather than choosing a style by age alone.

Yes. Clip it onto a pram handle, nappy bag or beach bag to keep sun hats hands-free.

Attach it where the hat stays within easy reach and does not interfere with handles, wheels or moving parts. Check the hat is held securely before setting off and put it back on the wearer when needed. On a beach bag, keep it out of sand and rinse or clean the item only as its care instructions allow. For a pram, keep accessories and small parts out of a young child's reach.

Every Spixal magnetic hat clip is $29.99.

Check the price on the selected colour or style before adding it to the cart. A clip included in a named starter kit is different from an individually purchased clip, so compare the full contents if you are shopping for a bag as well. If the rest of the school kit is already sorted, a single clip is the straightforward option. There is no need to buy another bundle just to add hat storage.
