My 7-year-old had a cowgirl-themed birthday party and I surprised her with this hat. She loved it. Because it was inexpensive, I thought it would get crushed, unravel or have the battery wear out quickly, but it has held up. It's not going to last forever, but she has worn it several times while playing like a cowgirl and it's still going strong. It has a chinstrap. The blinky lights are much brighter than I expected, and are multicolored. She says, "Love it, love it, love it!"
