The North Face Baby Bear Trapper (NF0A8CGG)
A warm, well documented bear ear fleece hat for babies, priced above generic options.
We bought BAVST Baby Toddler Winter Beanie, Earflap Cute Bear Knit Cap, 0-36M (Grey). It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a widely sold baby bear ear hat with earflaps and a chin strap from a known brand with published materials, the closest documented match to the BAVST hat.
The short version
- Babies and young toddlers up to 24 months who need a warm hat that stays on
- Parents who want stated materials and care instructions
- Your child is over 24 months
- You want a knit beanie rather than fleece
- You want the lowest price
What owners like
- Fit is reported as true to size

What it does
A high pile fleece baby hat with bear ears and earflaps that fasten under the chin; reviewed here in place of the BAVST bear earflap knit beanie it resembles.
- Attached bear ears
- Earflaps cover the ears and fasten under the chin
- Fluffy high pile fleece outer
- Soft micro fleece lining on the crown
- Several colors, including White Dune, Teddy Brown, Pale Blossom and Polar Haze
A good pick for parents who want a warm bear ear hat with earflaps from a brand with full material details and care instructions. The trade-offs are a higher price than generic bear beanies, fleece rather than knit, and sizes that stop at 24 months where the BAVST hat ran to 36 months.
