Baby UV Tent

Summertime is a fun time for the whole family. But there are certain precautions you need to take in order to keep your newborn safe from the UV rays of the sun.
If you are going to the beach with no sun protection built in, you need to take an umbrella and possibly a pop up baby UV tent as well.

UV tents are a great invention, not just for the beach but for back gardens too. Encourage your children to use the tent as a play area or use for babies to shelter on the beach. UV tents are particularly good as the sun is more intense near areas where there is water, or surfaces such as white walls or cement. If you spend a lot of time near one of these 'suntraps' a tent is a great way to ensure your child has somewhere to go that is totally protected. UV tents are a good investment for families who live in hot climates.

Newborns can sleep the beach day away in a small pop up baby UV tent that closes on all sides with screening and made with UV protective fabric. These tents are small and made by Fisher Price or similar companies. Older infants that are mobile need a half tent so they can see their environment and have some room to roll around during naps.

Protecting your baby or toddler from the strong sun is a full time job, but as long as you are prepared and aware of the risks, the sun needn't spoil your fun.
