BABY AND THE BEACH

Details

     1.    Food Huggers, $15 (foodhuggers.com): If you have opted out of taking fruit to the beach with you in the past due to the inability to keep it fresh than you’ll definitely want to bring some of these along with you on your beach trip. These nesting silicone food savers create a tight seal by wrapping around your leftover fruits & veggies.

     2.    zoe b organic Fantastic Beach Toys, $22 (zoeborganic.com): These eye-catching beach toys are made from corn instead of petroleum and are safer for kids without  toxic chemicals like BPA and phthalates. One thing I loved about these beach toys was that if by chance they get washed out to sea, they will break down 2-3 years versus the 500 year breakdown of ordinary beach toys.

     3.    Platypus Australia Baby Kids Swimsuit w/ Bow, $39 (platypusaustralia.com): I’m really not a fan of little babies in bikini style bathing suits. I think the style is a little too grown-up for such little munchkins that’s why when swimsuit shopping for my little girl I go for the cutest one-piece I can find like this one. It features the rose print with a keyhole back and of course, ruffles!

     4.    House of Botori Toriola Tote, $80 (houseofbotori.com): No beach trip with baby is complete without a spacious baby/diaper bag to haul it all in. This House of Botori Tote boasts a trio of exterior pockets and seven interior pockets.

     5.    beachBub Umbrella Base & collar, $25 (beachbub.com): So I went to the beach with my kiddies two weeks ago and boy do I wish I had this with me on the trip. It was Fourth of July weekend and the beach was PACKED! Towards the end of our beach stay the wind started to pick up and I literally had to chase after one of our umbrellas three times. To make matters worse there was an older couple laying out very closely behind us and the umbrella kept hitting and rolling over them; needless to say they were annoyed. -_- (oops!) Anywho – this umbrella base fits standard umbrella poles and you simply fill it with sand to keep the umbrella from going rogue like mine did.

     6.    Baby Mantra Calming Lotion, $14 (drugstore.com): When it’s time to head home glide this calming lotion over baby’s skin to help “calm” the skin from the sun’s irritation. Hopefully baby will be so calm he’ll nap in the car on the way home.

     7.    Sun Bum SPF 30 Baby Bum Premium Natural Lotion, $18 (dermstore.com): There’s a reason this sunscreen is sold-out pretty much everywhere. It’s made without dehydrating ingredients so this gentle lotion keeps skin shielded without irritating it as well.

     8.    ZooMoos, $20 (zoomoss.com): These cute little animal sippy cup holders are the perfect accessory to have for a day at the beach to keep baby’s drink cold.

     9.    Little Me Tea – 30 count, $32 (amazon.com): USDA Organic, Caffeine free and gluten free. Six grams of sugar per box without additives or high fructose corn syrup.  

     10. ciao! Baby Portable High Chair, $62 (amazon.com): This is the perfect accessory to have for traveling with baby in general; not just for a day at the beach. When baby’s gotta eat, baby’s gotta eat and now no matter where you go you can feed baby with ease when you pop open this portable high chair.

     11. The Coolest Cooler, $185 (kickstarter.com): Some of you might have seen the introductory video for this product floating around your Facebook walls like I have. I was literally flabbergasted at all of the things this cooler comes equipped with such as a blender, usb charger, removable waterproof Bluetooth speaker, cutting board, and storage for plates and a knife. The product is available for pre-order now on Kickstarter.
