The top 5 beach essentials for your baby

3 Jun, 2014
 

 

The beach is such a fun place to take the kids for some outdoor playtime. All kids love going to the beach, splashing in the waves and building castles in the sand.

We are lucky to have some lovely kid-friendly beaches here in Singapore, and of course we have the scorching hot weather that makes the sea breeze and cool waves at the beach oh so welcoming!

However, when going for a trip to the beach — especially with kids in tow — it helps to come prepared. As fun as it sounds to be out on the beach for hours on end, parents have to think about their kids’ comfort and how to protect them from the sun’s harmful rays.

So what are the most important things you need when planning your beach outing? Fret not, we have listed the top 5 beach essentials your baby will need for her day of fun at the beach, courtesy of Bloom and Grow.

Snoozeshade Deluxe Plus - sun and sleep shade for strollers

If you are planning a trip to the beach, taking your baby’s stroller will definitely come in handy if you have to walk to the beach, or if your baby needs to have a snooze while you enjoy a picnic with your spouse.

Do keep in mind though that, while outdoors, having a sun shade on your baby’s stroller is very important.

The Snoozeshade Deluxe Plus offers your baby comfort and protection from the sun, blocking out UV rays with its unique double layer of soft, stretchy and breathable mesh.

This sun shade, which is approved by the Melanoma International Foundation, is known to have one of the highest levels of sun protection in the market, with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 40+.

The Snoozeshade has a front panel that can be opened fully, which makes putting your baby in and taking her out much easier. Once your baby is in the stroller, this panel filters light and 80% of UV rays to ensure she is comfortable and protected from the sun.

The Snoozeshade retails at $74.90 and is available at Motherswork, Baby Online, Dear Baby and Kiddy Palace.

Frankie Ray sunglasses

Is there anything cuter than your little one with her sunnies on? We bet you will have your camera handy to take loads of pictures!

But take note that just any pair of kids’ sunglasses won’t do when it comes to protecting your little one from harmful UV rays.

Frankie Ray Sunglasses protect your child’s eyes while providing shade from the bright sunlight – all while being super stylish too!

The lenses on Frankie Ray sunglasses are made from impact-resistant polycarbonate and offer 100% UV protection in compliance with the highest Australian Standards.

There is a wide variety of designs to choose from, and each design is available in 3 sizes.

Frankie Ray Sunglasses retail at $39.90 and can be found at Baby Online.

Cuddledry SPF50+ poncho towel

Yet another beach bag essential you need to pack for your trip to the beach is a good quality towel – one that is super absorbent and gentle enough to wipe your baby’s delicate skin.

The Cuddledry poncho towel is all this and more! In addition to being a great way to dry your little one off after a dip in the waves, this towel has a SPF50+ level of protection from UV rays.

Rayosan technology — a patented technology that detects harmful UVF and UVB rays — acts like a mirror and deflects UV rays off the towel, preventing them from going through the fabric and damaging your little one’s skin.

The Cuddledry poncho towel is suitable for kids 1-3 years of age and comes in a vibrant aqua blue colour.

The Cuddledry poncho towel retails at $49.00 and is available at Mothercare outlets and Baby Online.

Paddlepak – Splash-proof backpack

Paddlepak – Splash-proof backpack

This backpack is perfect when your little one is big enough to carry his own little bag to the beach. It is super light and ideal for packing a snack and a change of clothes.

It is also made of durable and water-resistant material and has a seal at the top that keeps things inside well-protected — a great bonus, especially if your kid wants to run around on the beach with his backpack!

A Trunki Grip safety buckle featured on the Paddlepak also keeps your little one’s sunglasses close at hand.

The Paddlepak retails at $39.90 - 49.90 and can be found at Kiddy Palace, LifeRacher Swimwear outlets, Niche Babies, and the kids’s section at Takashimaya.

Bambino Mio Swim Nappy

Once at the beach, your baby’s diaper area will have to have the proper ‘covering’ to ensure her comfort and protection from the itchy sand. Parents also need to also make sure their baby’s swimming attire doesn’t ‘leak’ to avoid ‘accidents.’

The perfect solution for this is the award-winning Bambino Mio Swim Nappy, which comes in 6 gorgeous designs. This super comfy nappy is reusable and features a soft cotton lining that protects against leakage when in the water.

The Bambino Mio Swim Nappy retails at $23.50 from Motherswork outlets, Awesome Kids, Moms R Us and Baby Hyperstore.
