Summer has (finally) arrived, and it's time to get ready for vacation. You can't wait to take your little one to the beach to enjoy the water. That's why it's important to have everything you need to protect them and keep them comfortable. Keep reading to discover the essentials for your baby this summer.
Sunscreen:
At the top of the list of essentials, sunscreen is undoubtedly the most important item. Whether you're spending a day at the beach or going for a walk with the stroller, it's essential to protect your baby from the sun's UV rays. Vidiamo's top recommendation: Alphanova organic sunscreen lotion for babies, with SPF 50+, 100% natural. https://alphanova.fr/product/creme-solaire-bebe-bio-haute-protection/
The Vidiamo parasol:
To further protect your child from the sun's UV rays, consider equipping your Limo stroller with the Vidiamo sunshade to keep them safe and comfortable. Compatible with all Limo configurations (carrycot, double, single, etc.), it is perfect for keeping your child in the shade. With a flexible handle, it folds easily and, thanks to its adapter, can be attached to any part of the stroller. Vidiamo tip: if both children are traveling in the Limo, consider placing two umbrellas: one for the child in the main seat and another for the older child in the folding seat. https://www.vidiamo.com/collections/accessoires-limo/products/ombrelle-limo
The T-shirt with UV protection:
To ensure your child can swim, play at the beach, or in the pool safely, remember to dress them in a UV-protective shirt. Guaranteed sun protection! Vidiamo's favorite shirts: Canopea with UV protection: attractive, stylish, and 100% made in Europe. With UPF50+ certification, they block 98% of UVA and UVB rays. https://canopea-paris.com/fr/
Ground glasses:
Don't forget your child's eyes! With adorable, flexible designs that are perfect for little hands, Ki et La sunglasses are ideal. Available in sizes for babies up to 12 years old, they are eco-friendly and affordable. https://www.kietla.fr/shop/lunettes-soleil-enfant/
The hat:
Essential for protecting your baby's sensitive skin, a newborn hat keeps their head at a comfortable temperature (both in summer and winter!). Many brands offer them, whether they are made of cotton, UV-resistant, waterproof, or other materials.
Mosquito repellent products:
Summer is a magical time of year... except when there are mosquitoes. Put yourself in your baby's shoes, unable to keep them away, and help them get rid of them. Keep in mind that it is best not to use any products on children under 30 months of age. However, there are alternatives for them. At night, protect them with a mosquito net, for example. For older children, there are suitable products with a low concentration of DEET (a chemical mosquito repellent). This is the preferred option. Other natural alternatives can also be considered, such as essential oils (which must be diluted). However, if your baby gets bitten, disinfect the bite and relieve the irritation with an ice cube (if it is still swollen) or products such as aloe vera, mint, and banana peel (yes, really!).
The pair of open shoes:
To complete this list of summer essentials, we recommend jelly shoes. Practical for all types of terrain, they are non-slip, fasten with straps, and are easy to care for. Their openings allow your baby's feet to breathe and regulate their temperature. In the water, they are perfect for keeping your baby's feet well protected.
Everything is ready for a fun-filled summer and, above all, a safe summer with your baby!
