Parent Summer Essentials
Summer is officially here, which means it's time to stock up on all parental summer essentials. From non-toxic sunscreen, to bug spray, to swimwear, and toys, there are a hundred things we need for our babes to make it through the summer - and I've compiled a list of some mom approved favorites. You can also check out our Instagram or Amazon storefront for more ideas!
Sunscreen
These are all clean/non-toxic sunscreen options for your little one. We've tried a few and Badger is our personal favorite, as I find it to be thicker/easier to apply than some other brands. However, if you don't want as thick of a sunscreen or want to try another brand, these come recommended from other moms!
Badger Mineral Sunscreen (2-pack for $28.99)
Bug Spray
I've only had to use these once and didn't have any issues, but I can't say we are frequently camping or in bug-infested areas so far. However, lots of moms have sworn by these clean brands!

Swimwear
If your goal is non-toxic swimwear, you want to find clothing that does not use chemicals to achieve UV resistance. Looking for Oeko-Tex Certified is a great way to know that you are avoiding hundreds of toxins in the clothing you're buying. Caden Lane and Hannah Andersson are two clean brands I recommend. However, if you are looking for an Amazon buy, here's a brand that does not use chemicals to achieve their UPF rating but isn't Oeko-Tex Certified. Both City Threads and Green Sprouts are two good clean brands you can buy on Amazon!
Water Tables
I have been waiting until we moved to get a water table but will likely be getting one of these - they are the three most recommended from my mom groups! I think Sloane would spend a long time playing outside with one and it's perfect for a hot day when we don't feel like pulling out the pool.
Tents
Whether you have a beach or lake trip planned or will be spending hours outdoors for whatever reason and need to have an area of shade or containment, these tents can be a necessity with keeping your baby and toddler cool in the hot sun.
Wagons
We haven't personally invested in a wagon just yet, but with a second baby on the way and beach trips in our future, we definitely will be! These are some of the most recommended versions by other parents.
