As the temperatures continue to climb this season, being prepared when you're on the go can make summer adventures fun and comfortable for your little one. After assessing what you already have packed in your diaper bag, consider these 10 essential items to protect your toddler or baby from the hot weather and stubborn UV rays.
Baby Sun Hat
When those UV rays are beating down from the sun, having a baby bucket hat that provides sun protection will come in handy. This one is adjustable to fit your toddler or baby's head perfectly and comes in a variety of colors.
Polarized Sunglasses
Pack a pair of these lightweight and comfortable polarized sunglasses for your toddler or baby. They have polarized lenses that help eliminate any glares while protecting your child's eyes from potential UV ray damage.
Sunscreen Stick
Left the house without applying sunscreen? Keep one of these small sunscreen sticks in your diaper bag. Try one that's fragrance free and has an SPF of 50 for maximum protection. This one is plant-based and it's extra gentle on the skin.
Instant Cooling Towel
If you plan to be in the heat for a long time, having a cooling towel on hand can help you make sure your child's body temperature doesn't get too high. You simply wet the towel and apply it to your child's neck, back, or limbs. It provides instant relief, even on the hottest of days.
Portable Stroller Fan
If you're going somewhere where there might not be any air conditioning, having a portable stroller fan can be extra helpful. You can place this one on a stroller, next to the car seat, or even hold it near your child's body, back, or face to help them cool down.
Misting Portable Fan
Heading on an outdoor adventure that might take up the entire afternoon? This misting portable fan multi-tasks to provide a breeze and a cooling spray of water when your child needs it. It’s rechargeable and lasts for 6-15 hours depending on the wind speed that you select when you turn it on.
Water Bottle with Straw
Packing this small, insulated water bottle is a great way for your child to stay hydrated throughout the day. It keeps water cold for up to 12 hours and it's small enough to fit in your diaper bag or purse.
Reusable Swim Diapers
Planning to be in the pool a lot this summer? These reusable swim diapers are the perfect thing to have handy. They work great for sprinkler sessions at the park or dips in the pool. They even come in three sizes and a variety of fun patterns.
Short Sleeve Romper
Wondering what to pack for your toddler or baby to change into if their clothes get too wet or sweaty on adventures? These bamboo short-sleeve rompers are great to pack on the go. The fabric keeps them cool and the jumpsuit makes it easy as a fast outfit to throw on if needed.
Stroller Sunshade and Mosquito Net
If you find yourself somewhere that lacks shade, this sunshade is easy to pull out and attach to your child's stroller. It also protects them from persistent mosquitos and folds up, so it's lightweight to pack with you.
