We know how stressful it can be to pack and plan everything your child or baby might need for a day of adventure – especially if the destination is the beach. With so much to remember, the chances of forgetting something essential are high. That’s where we come in, easing the packing pressure by pinpointing exactly what to prioritise. Because as we all know: happy mama, happy baby.
First and foremost, we recommend investing in a UV-protective suit. It saves you from the hourly chase with sunscreen and keeps your little one safe under the sun. Another must-have? A portable bathtub or floating pool. Not only will it keep your child cool and entertained, but it also helps prevent the inevitable sandy mess that follows you home.
Below, find our curated list of must-haves to make summer with kids a breeze.
