Hello beach season! And hello darling babies and toddlers all decked out in their cutest swim gear, accessories and toys. Check out our list of unique and protective beachwear ideas for making sure your wee one is sun-safe and looking their best on the beach this season.
Crab Goggles – Few things can ruin a day at the beach faster than sand and saltwater in the eyes, so if you’ve got an adventurous little one that likes to really splash around these cheerful Crab Goggles from Satsuma just might be your ticket to tear-free fun in the sun. Features include a soft frame and adjustable straps for a comfortable, custom fit.
Keen Kids Water Sandals – Keep those little baby toes safe from sharp rocks and other hazards in the sand with Keen Kids SeaCamp II hybrid water sandals. Specifically designed to quickly go from wet to dry, and featuring grippy rubber soles and toe bumpers, these water-friendly sport sandals will serve your little one well on the beach and beyond.
Bambino Mio Swim Diapers – Who needs a swimsuit when you’ve got diapers as cute as these? Bambino Mio offers a line of washable swim diapers that are as functional as they are bright and cheery. An economical and eco-friendly alternative to disposables, Bambino Mio swim diapers are available in 10 colours and size options ranging from infant to toddler.
Mott 50 Swim Suits – Mott 50 is a fashion brand dedicated to UPF 50 sun-safe clothing for women and children, and we’re crushing on this darling swim dress in particular for its layerable, full-coverage style combined with sporty, streamlined cut. They also offer a range of one-piece suits for girls and long-sleeve swim shirts for boys, as well as cute rompers, hats and more.
Real Shades Sunglasses – Everyone needs a pair of stylish shades for beach day, and baby is no exception. Real Shades has a line of sunnies for infants and toddlers that offer 100% UV protection in a range of bright colours and styles, all specially designed for lasting durability during wild play in the sand and surf.
Snappy Towels – Beach towels are often more functional than fun, but Snappy Towels are looking to change that with their peppy designs and unique snap feature that lets them easily be transformed from beach towel to play mat to super hero cape and more. Made of soft, textured microfibre in a lightweight waffle weave that’s both absorbent and trim for folding and packing.
Splash About FloatSuits – ‘Safety first’ comes easy when playing in the waves in these cute little float suits from PreciousLittleOne.com. With the floaties built right in (and adjustable to your child’s weight and needs) there’s no messing around with bulky jackets that your toddler doesn’t want to wear or ties that come loose at the worst time. Just one-step worry-free fun.
Vintage Style – Express your love of all things retro and old-school by dressing your littlest in these vintage-style tees and onesies from HiLittleOne.com. Available in sizes from newborn to 12 years old, these soft tees are simple, comfy and classic. They even fade a little with wear, enhancing the vintage vibe. Hats, bibs and personalised items are also available.
NESO Tents – Giving baby (and the rest of the family) a break from the sun is a big challenge at the beach, but NESO tents make it easy with their roomy, simple-to-set-up tent designs that anchor firmly against the wind and provide plenty of room for relaxing, playing and staying cool.
Baby’s First Sun Day Kit – Sometimes the easiest thing is a grab-and-go kit that has everything you need, and for that we like Baby’s First Sun Day Kit. Ideal as a first suit, a shower gift or simply a backup in the beach bag should you forget something at home, the kit includes a full-coverage UPF 50+ sun suit, sun hat, sunglasses and natural baby-safe sunscreen.
Little Me Swim Rompers – All-in-one swim rompers provide a greater degree of sun protection compared to traditional suits, but don’t sacrifice any of the adorableness. Little Me is a brand that focuses on letting kids be kids (simple, carefree designs and no grown-up fabrics) and we love their mix of UPF 50+ swim romper styles for 6 months and up.
Beachfront Baby Wrap – Babywearing is a growing trend, and for those hot days in the sand, Beachfront Baby‘s recycled mesh wrap is ideal for keeping baby close while still staying cool in or out of the water. Made of a special fast-drying polyester created from recycled water bottles, each sling is “one size” and fully adjustable.
Swim Bloomers – We’re loving the fluffy bum created by these Mud Pie swim bloomers from MyBabyPie.com. Pair them with the matching hat as pictured (there’s also a red “crab” print) or wear with a long-sleeve rashguard for a little more coverage; either way, they’re comfy and cute and offer an alternative to traditional diaper and shorts styles.
Oahu Overalls – Towelling a wiggly wee one dry can be tricky, so instead wrap them in one of these plush Oahu Overalls from Reima. Available in ultramarine blue or strawberry red, they feature a quick-drying cotton blend fabric with a UV 50+ rating plus a hood, easy zip front, and snap legs for diaper access.
Jaq Jaq Bird Perfect Wet Pouch – Ease the mess of packing up when beach day is done by containing water-logged swimsuits, towels, sandals and more in Jaq Jaq Bird’s Perfect Wet Pouch Bag. Fun prints on the outside, waterproof lining on the inside, and a handy individualised size with zip closure make these wet bags ideal for keeping baby’s beach items organised.
