Poor Design

I bought this hat for my 4 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She loved it. The downside: the elastic stretch band on the inside of the hat was so tight that the hat would not sit on her head without popping off. We would have returned it but it was Christmas morning and my granddaughter was thrilled with the concept of having a cowgirl hat. We ultimately solved the problem by cutting out the elastic band and the hat now fits just fine! I guess the elastic band is supposed to make the hat fit various sized heads but it is beyond me how the hat would stay on anyone's head.
