Summer is finally here and it's time to head to the beach and have some fun. While fun in the sun is carefree, don't forget about sun safety. This issue is jam packed with products to keep your little ones safe and stylish while enjoying the sunshine.
Silky soft baby skin deserves the award winning sun protection of Baby Silk Sun Essentials. The Baby Silk Sun Essentials gift set includes Sunscreen Towlettes (our favorite, and 2006 ICMAD award winner for most innovative product), Daily Skin Moisturizing Balm and Tweak wraparound sunglasses...as well as the oh-so summer raffia mini tote. Everything you need for a day at the beach! Baby Silk offers their Sunscreen Towelettes to be purchased separately. These Towelettes are a Tot Trends favorite thanks to their gentle and soothing moisturizers and broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. And, since each Towelette contains enough sunscreen to cover baby from head to toe, we're not kidding when we say Baby Silk Sunscreen Towelettes have you covered! In addition to our must-have sunscreen towelettes, we think these products deserve a nod for their ease of use.
(1)We're in love with CleanWell products; where killing 99.99% of germs is 100% safe! CleanWell products use ingenium, a patented formulation of essential plant oils, to safely and effectively kill germs. We think you'll agree that the better way to clean, and clean well, is CleanWell.
(2)The latest buzz in bug spray is Baby Cake's No-Fly Zone All Natural Bug Away Spray. The all-natural recipe blends essential oils and extracts to effectively and naturally keep away mosquitos, fleas and bugs (and of course we love that it smells great...no harsh chemicals here!). With Baby Cake's No-Fly Zone, keeping bugs away is a piece of cake!
(3)Teeny Towels by OneStepAhead are one giant leap for tots everywhere. Their all-natural (child-safe and DEET-Free; made of citronella, lemon grass, and rosemary oils) insect repellent comes in tiny packs perfect for any summer outing. Each Teeny Towels Pack includes two dispensers and four refills, each with seven wipes, and is recommended for children 3 months and up. Teeny Towels...big bug protection!
beach bag for her Summer is sweet as candy with the adorable lollipop beach bag from Maui Rose. The Lollipop bag features bold colors, is made of a beach-ready plastified waterproof fabric, and is available in six great sizes...making the lollipop bag as functional as it is stylish. We also love the beach bag's magnetic closures; you can keep all the fun (not to mention your wallet!) in the bag! This fabulous and fun bag will have you singing 'ooh lolli-lollipop' all the way to the beach.
keep those eyes safe I scream, you scream, we all scream for Eyes Cream Shades! These cool shades are made of polycarbonate lenses that block virtually 100% UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. Eyes Cream Shades are available in sizes 6 months and up, and in so many different flavors (like yummy choco-marshmallow!). There's a big world to see out there, and it always looks better through Eyes Cream colored lenses!
fun summer toys (1)We're sweet on the Sweet Pink Set from Spielstabil. Bright and unbreakable (all Spielstabil toys are made from ABS, the best plastic available), this 6-piece beach set includes a sieve, bucket, shovel, watering can and two sand molds. We think quality playtime needs the quality of Spielstabil.
(2)You might not be thinking snow this summer, but you should be thinking about the Snow Block Maker from LLBean. This winter favorite gets a summer makeover when used for sand castles. And, at only $6, you should be making your way over to LLBean!
(3)Child's play is beautiful and smart with the Bilibo. The Bilibo's simple yet iconic shell-shape design and bold colors combine to create a magical toy that provides for hours of creative play. Take it to the beach, the park, or put it in your living room, and see how the Bilibo adds to the magic of your child's summer.

(2)Gear up for summer with a UV Terry Poncho Towel from UV Sungear. This soft terry poncho is super absorbent and offers UPF50+ sun protection while your kids take a break from swimming. Available in several fun summer characters- we love the Friendly Shark and the Butterfly of Summer- and packaged in a cute plastic beach bucket, UV Sungear's Terry Ponchos make a fantastic gift. Its fun in the sun with UV Sungear Ponchos!
(3)Haba has done it again, with its fabulous Hippo Bath Towel. The adorable hippo is as helpful as he is stylish, providing a pillow (or shade!) for beach-wary heads, and pockets for all your little one's most important possessions. And, this soft terry towel is hippo-sized for big summer fun. Of course, if your hungry for Haba's Hippo Bath Towel, we think you’ll love their Tiger Bath Towel too!
swim style Summer style is all about being comfortable and with these adorable swim pieces, your child will look fashion-savvy as well. (1)Flower power is a fabulous thing when it’s Luna Luna Copenhagen's Pink Flower Fairy Swim Diaper. The pink swim diaper is adorned with three gorgeous silk flowers, and is available in sizes S (3 mth), M (6 mth) and L (12/18 mth). We love love Luna Luna!
(2)The Terry Cover-up from Cabana Life has stylish sun protection covered. Choose from magenta and floral, or white and floral, and from sizes 3 months-6x. The Cabana Life is the good life!
(3)Dress up your little girl's sun protection with a Sunway UPF 50+ Sea Dress from Sunway UPF 50+ Swimwear. The baby pink sea dress has white chunky topstitching, raglan style sleeves and an embellished hibiscus print for cute surfer-girl style. Visit Cute Little Me for this cute little sea dress! (4)Let your little boy's style pop with the Patchwork Trunks from Baby Gap in Camo. Made of a soft brushed polyester microfiber, and featuring an elasticized waistband, self-tie drawstring detail, mesh lining, and UPF 40+, these trunks are just as big on function as they are bold in style. Paired with the Camo Logo Rash Guard, even on the hottest summer days your little guy will look chill. With a wetsuit inspired mock neck and stretchy fit, bold graphics, contrast topstitching and UPF 40+, this Gap creation is just too cool for school!

Let the Logo Rashguards help brand your summer style and pair with Old Navy's adorable Floral-Camo Board Shorts. Built-in mesh briefs, an elasticized waist and lace front add function and flair. Floral-Camo Board Shorts may hit at the knee, but they're totally hip!

diaper glamorously Calling all moms! Looking for a diaper bag that can double duty as a handbag? The Alexandra Bee Sophia diaper bag truly doesn’t look like a changing bag but has all the features inside that keep you organized. With two sizes to choose from and nine fabrics (including one made entirely with soft Italian calfskin leather!), you will love the look and the functionality of this bag and use it long after your little one is out of diapers. Features worth mentioning include the fully lined, water resistant interior, a key chain holder, two exterior pockets and eight interior pockets. This bag not only looks lovely but from an organization standpoint, it takes the cake! We have never seen so many pockets in one bag!
glamorous hair accessories For your glamorous little girl you must head over to Out to Tea. We simply adore their collection of clips and headbands and think they are the most glamorous we have seen. You will find something for all ages at Out to Tea and the perfect accessory for every outfit for your little ones hair. We love that in addition to their beauty, they truly are non-slip clips thanks to their fully lined design; they secure even the finest of hair. Be sure to check out their adjustable headbands (a first of their kind!), they are simply charming and always a perfect fit!
stroll glamorously Looking for a glam stroller that is made especially for newborns? Valco has just introduced their latest stroller, the RAD. More than just a pretty face, this stroller has three positions and allows you to easily remove the seat and face forwards or backwards (or attach the optional bassinet). With included extras like telescopic handles (a plus for dad), a bootcover for warmth and protection from the elements, and the reversible seat; this stroller is a great buy. We also love the quick release rear wheels for easy storage. This stroller is sure to turn heads!

Each mat comes with a cinch-tie bag for on-the-go travel.
