Want to beat the summer heat and add some excitement to your days? Look no further than pool parties and beach days. These summer fun activities are a must for kids, offering them a refreshing break from the rising temperatures while ensuring endless fun. 

Are you wondering about taking your baby to a pool party or a beach but not sure about it? Rest assured, it will be an enjoyable experience for both of you, providing you with a well-deserved break. If you are a beach lover, you are likely waiting for the day you can bring along your baby. Babies are born explorers; the beach will introduce them to a new world. A baby's first visit to the beach or pool is always a cherished moment for parents. They love to witness the slightest expressions of wonder, curiosity and joy on their little ones’ faces during their first time in the water, waves and sand. 

With a few precautions and baby accessories, you can make this experience memorable. Here are some newborn accessories to ensure your kid’s pool parties and beach days are safe, enjoyable and carefree. Remember to pack these essentials in your bag before you head to the pool or the beach with your baby. 

Swim Diapers - These diapers have been specially designed for pool or beach use, offering complete coverage for your baby's delicate bottom. They are also a must-have to prevent accidents in the pool or ocean. These swim diapers ensure enhanced comfort for children compared to regular diapers. They are made from breathable fabrics that facilitate air circulation, reducing the risk of skin irritation. 

Sun Hats - Sun Hats are essential infant accessories to protect your baby's head from the sun’s harmful rays. Opt for a hat with a wide brim made from breathable fabric. The sun hats are available in various designs, protecting the eyes, head, neck and shoulders. Many hats come with adjustable toggles, allowing you to customise the fit as your baby grows. Most of these hats are washable and require minimal maintenance.

Sunglasses - Sunglasses are another item on the list of baby accessories to bring to the beach. They protect your baby's eyes from the bright sunlight. When choosing sunglasses for babies, ensure they have UV protection lenses and soft, flexible frames that won't break easily. It is also a good idea to look for BPA-free shades so your baby is safe even if they put them in their mouth. These baby accessories come in attractive colours and cute designs to make your kids look extra special.

Water Shoes - Water shoes are another essential infant accessory designed to protect your baby's feet from hot sand, rocks and sharp objects. They have soles with drainage holes that let water flow out and help keep the shoes dry. These shoes are lightweight, convenient to carry and easy to put on or take off from your baby’s feet. They are great for activities like water sports, swimming in a pool, visiting a water park, and even walking indoors. They can even be folded and easily packed in your beach holiday bag.

Floaties - Floaties are a must-have for pool parties. For older kids, you can choose inflatable arm floats and vests. The floaties are made from high-quality, non-toxic material and are safe for kids. Baby floats have special features like detachable sun canopies, shoulder straps and abdomen support. These features protect your little one from the harsh sun and keep them secure. The straps are adjustable, so you can continue using them over the years as your baby grows. 

Toys - Toys are a great way to entertain your baby at the beach or pool. You will find a lot of toys made specifically for the beach. It is important to choose water-resistant toys made from non-toxic materials that are safe for your child. You will be amazed at how creative your kids can get with beach toys. Extensive packs of beach toys are available, but it is a good idea to pick one that’s easy to carry. Also, don’t forget to bring a beach ball along.

Apart from these accessories, you should pack a few other things for your baby when going to the beach, such as sunscreen, a beach towel, a beach mat and a change of clothes. Beach towels are really important for a day at the beach. Carry a large towel that can keep your baby comfortable and dry. 

If you plan to spend a lot of time in the sun, you may want to pack some cooling gear for your baby, including baby wipes, a cooling towel or a portable handheld misting fan. So pack your bags and let your baby have a blast in the sun and sand!
