Nothing says summer at the beach better than bright beach towels!
Before you hit the beach or hang poolside with your baby, make you've got all the essentials. That means sunscreen, plenty of towels, snacks, and a stylish bag to carry it all. Include a ziplog bag or wet sack to carry home the wet bathing suits and used swim diapers.
But the most important accessory for your baby is a great towel. A baby towel should cover the child from head to toe to protect against harmful sun rays and to provide warmth from cool summer breezes after a dip in the pool or an adventure in the surf. Baby's sensitive skin needs to be protected at all times. After swimming, we recommend wrapping baby in a warm 100% cotton terry towel. A towel with a generous hood not only protects your baby from dangerous UV rays, but dries the skin and hair quickly. It is easy for a child to get chilled after swimming, and most kids get fussy when you towel them off. But if they have their favorite towel with them, they will look forward to being wrapped up. Baseball- and football-themed hooded tubby towels are great for the sports fan! Disney characters are always a hit. Alligators, frogs, bumblebees, and flower towels are also great fun for kids of all ages.
Tips for finding the right beach towel:
- Look for a towel with a hood.
- Make sure it is 100% cotton and thick enough to absorb water.
- Make sure it is long enough to cover your baby from head to toe.
- Find a character or theme that is fun so everyone wants to be wrapped in a towel.
- Personalize with a name or initial to avoid mixing up towels.
Want to change your baby at the beach without finding a public restroom? It's easy to cover baby with a giant towel and slip off that wet swim diaper and damp swim suit. Undercover you can put on his fresh suit or summer clothes. No one can have too many hooded towels -- they make the perfect baby gift.
