These baby sun tents will make your beach days a blast!
Summer is here, and if you’re as eager to plan fun-filled days with your family at the beach as we are, you’re definitely thinking about sun protection.
Of course, it’s essential to protect your baby’s skin with sunscreen, but it’s equally as important not to keep them in the sun for too long. Purchasing a sun tent is an easy and effective way to shade your little one from harmful rays, giving them a safe place to play and rest.
Baby beach tents are a lot like regular tents in that they have three or four sides, mesh side panels and a fabric bottom. You may be thinking your beach umbrella should do the trick, but we’ve found that the full-coverage a tent provides is a more effective way to shield babies from a potentially dangerous environment.
Sun tents for babies come in various styles and designs, but most have a convenient pop-up feature that makes them easy to set up. Many of them also provide a barrier from the sand and wind. We recommend adding a sun tent to your list of beach day must-haves, right up there with towels, coolers, hats, and sunscreen. After all, the best way to enjoy the beach with your baby is safely.
Below, check out five beach sun tents for your baby.
