Wishlist-worthy kid’s swimwear + accessories
The weather is ramping up; we’ve shared our suncream hacks and hotlist. Now, it’s time for the kid’s swimwear and accessories topping our wishlist for the sunny dayze ahead!
We love this family-run independent brand based in Manchester. Their swimwear for babies, toddlers, and kids offers UPF50+ protection from UV rays, is made from recycled materials and includes swimsuits, short and long sleeve rash vests, swimming shorts, and poncho towels. There’s also a sale on right now, so be quick!
This H&M sun cap is ideal for the school rucksack or nursery bag, as it’s UPF 50 and less than a tenner.
This super cool kid’s sunglasses brand is pretty confident in its product as it guarantees that it will replace them for free if you lose or break them within the first year! While at £25, they are not cheap; they will outlast almost every pair of the brands you’d typically opt for.
This independent B-corp brand from Devon is run by a mama of three and is bursting with kid’s clothing for all kinds of weather. We are big fans of its UV swimwear for ages 12 months - 12 years. The designs are bright, fresh and not too babyish.
The most important things to consider when it comes to buying sun hats for babies and toddlers; make sure the neck is covered and that there is a string to keep the sucker on, as they love to pull them off at every opportunity! We love this Baby UV-Protection Hat Reversible Yellow and Blue SAVANNAH Print, also less than tenner at Decathlon.
We’ve tried a few different brands, but these seem to be a firm fave with the kids. Cool and fun designs, easy to put on, and don’t take an age to dry. They love wearing them in the house as an alternative to slippers, too!
Now THIS is a brand that is changing the (swim) game and for all the right reasons! One of the dayze community told us about this range of silicone swim caps – designed for every hair type and every level of volume. No more painfully squeezing hair into super-tight swim caps! You AND the kids can relax!
Zoggs say that this smart Water Wings Vest helps kids 1-5 years learn to swim 5 times faster as it provides fixed buoyancy and encourages a natural swimming position to get them used to using their arms and legs to move around in the water. Our kids certainly loved theirs!
