How do you get your kid to wear hats?

Pretty self-explanatory, my toddler hates wearing anything on his head. He will rip a hat off the second something touches his head, we have a few beach vacations booked this summer and I'd really like to get him to where hats for sun protection. He has light blue eyes and p much translucent skin.

I will definitely lather him up with sunscreen but I'm worried about his eyes and top of his head/ears.

Does anyone have any tips to acclimate him to wearing something on his head? Any experience with this? Is it a losing battle?

I hope this is an appropriate topic, I'm looking for advice or anyone with similar experience.

We own a Honda CRV, our toddler's car seat is installed behind the passenger seat. My husband is over 6'5" and needs the driver seat pushed all the way back when he drives. The car seat does not fit behind the driver seat when it is in that position. I understand it is recommended the infant/toddler car seat be behind the driver side seat but logistically it's not possible.

I am currently pregnant with our second. I know current safety recommendations state toddlers continue to be rear facing until 50 lbs.

I guess my question is, how do I go about having two rear facing car seats in the car that would allow my husband to be in the front seat whether he is driving or in the passenger seat? Does anyone have any seat recommendations? Our toddler is at the weight where he needs a new car seat and that seat will be moved behind the drivers side seat in november when 2nd baby arrives.

I'm assuming there has to be a solution here besides buying a larger car?
