My grand daughter still LOVES this hat and it's still going strong.  We've replaced the batteries (of course) but we've had no problems.  I saw her wearing it yesterday whooping it up like the little cow girl she still loves to be and I just had to update this review.  This little hat has been through the ringer and is still going strong.  Nice!

I purchased this hat for my grand daughter.  She has a small collection of various dress-up items but no cowgirl hat.  Since this one was blingy and lit up I bought it.  Well, she will not take it off.  I finally had to tell her that it would get ruined if it went in the bath with her so I could give her a bath without the hat.  She can turn it on and off herself.  It's holding up pretty good (even through naps and the trampoline).  I would buy this again.
