Summer is almost here, and for many of us that means it will soon be time for taking a break from work and enjoying some precious time with the family.
Whether you are planning a trip abroad to one of the green list travel countries, taking a staycation in this country or just spending a few afternoons at your local swimming pool, you need to make sure the youngest members of your family are ready to make a splash.
Babies and toddlers require a little more care and attention when you dress them for the pool than older children (plus ça change). Look for swimwear that offers UV protection - nothing will ruin a big day faster out than a child suffering from sunburn.
A further note - small children get cold in water much faster than adults, so make sure you have something cosy and fleecy to bundle them up in post splash-time.
Here are 12 of the best swimming outfits for babies and toddlers available to buy now.
This adorable dinosaur swimsuit and hat is a wonderful outfit for your little one, whether you are taking them to the beach or to the local swimming pool. If you are taking them to the beach, of course, then the hat will provide perfect protection from the sun’s rays.
This suit, which is suitable for babies and toddlers aged 0 to 3 years, is a lovely bright and vibrant colour with a sweet dinosaur design. Our only quibble - there are quite a few buttons on this suit, making it fiddly to fasten. This set is part of a 3-for-2 offer on selected kidswear at M&S at the moment.
Boden’s clothing lasts remarkably well (even with frequent washing) so this crab surf suit is a sound investment if you’re considering the potential for hand-me-downs.
The zip down the front makes changes easy enough to do them one-handed, and it has SPF protection. For 12 months to 4 years.
If you have a child in your house, the chances are they love ‘Hey Duggee’, arguably the finest toddler-friendly programme around.
So, make their day with this ‘Hey Duggee’ surf suit. Design
