Five Bits Of Baby Gear You Need In A Heatwave

Oh man, isn't it scorchio?!

It's no joke looking after a little one in this heat but never fear, we're here to help you find the best buys to keep your little bundle of joy as cool as a cucumber when it's anything but outside.

Whether you're hitting the beach, venturing no further than the back garden or heading off for a holiday to the sun, here are five bits of summer baby gear we wouldn't leave home without...

1. Baby Banz Adventure Sunglasses, £15

Yes, cheaper brands of baby shades are available but if you've ever tried and failed to keep a pair of sunnies on a wriggly baby, you'll appreciate why we think these rock. The detachable head strap holds them gently in place on even the most shades-resistant baby, while the UV400 lenses protect delicate eyes from the sun's harmful rays.

2. Pop-In Baby Cosy Suit, £19.99

This UPF50+ cosy suit will protect your little one both in and out of the water, and the soft fleecy layer inside will keep them cosy so they can splash for longer, even if the water is a little chilly – perfect for the beach or outdoor pool. Team it with a Pop-in swim nappy to ensure no little accidents while you're in the water.

3. Pura 9oz Insulated Infant Bottle, £22

Keeping little ones hydrated can be a challenge when it's hot. So how do you like the sound of a stainless steel, plastic-free bottle that can keep liquids cool (or warm) for up to six hours? It also looks seriously cool, and it's compatible with a whole range of teats, sippy spouts and lids.

4. Pop-up Paddling Pool, £35

Bring the beach to your back garden with this paddling pool. It's made from tough, durable fabric with UPF 50+ protection, so it'll keep your little one well shaded from the sun while she splashes about to her heart's content.

5. Little Babyni, £44.99

With 50+ UVA / UVB protection, this anti-UV tent is a playpen and travel cot in one, so you can set up camp on the beach or in the garden without worrying about heading home for nap time!
