These baby beach tents are ideal for trips with your tiny traveller, or for
sun protection in the garden or backyard when at home.
Your baby's delicate skin can burn in as little as 10-15 minutes, so protecting him from the sun is
crucial.
For babies less than 6 months of age, keep sun exposure to a minimum
(see our vitamin D
page for more information about sunlight and its contribution to vitamin D production).
After 6 months, brief periods of exposure are safe, provided that a good sunscreen is used.
Make sure baby is also wearing a good sun hat that protects the back of his neck.
Avoid exposure between 11am and 3pm - when the sun is at its hottest.
By taking one of these lightweight, easy-to-assemble baby beach tents on your travels, you can
provide shade for your little one wherever you go.

This is one of our favourite baby products, because it's a beach tent and a travel bed all rolled into one!
It offers your baby protection from the sun and the wind during the day and is also a really comfortable bed,
with a nice air mattress instead of the "board" type base you find on many travel beds!
Some parents have found it a little difficult to pack away after use, but we found that - with a little practise -
you soon get the hang of it! We think the Peapod travel bed is a worthwhile purchase during your baby's
first year, because you'll definitely get plenty of use out of it! US ONLY
The Peapod Plus Travel Bed is based on the basic Peapod Bed (above), but is a larger size and
will accommodate your baby right through to his toddler years! US ONLY
The Kids Sun Dome is hugely popular with parents... and for good reason! It's very easy to assemble and packs neatly away into its storage case, so you can easily throw it into the back of the car, take it with you on vacation or just use it in the back yard! It offers a high UPF protection of 50+, so you can enjoy some time in the sun knowing that your baby is safely sheltered. US ONLY
This baby beach tent has many great features!
For one thing, it uses a 'pop' mechanism to open and close, meaning you don't need a degree in engineering to
get it assembled! The UPF50+ fabric blocks 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays and the handy shade zips on or off.
If you prefer, you can remove the shade and zipper the front closed, protecting your baby from sand and
evil bugs! It also comes with its own carrying bag. A BIG thumbs up for this tent from us! US ONLY
Another great 2-in-1 product - the tent, which is UV coated for outdoor use, also fixes to the
playard for insect protection for indoor use! A playard like this can be invaluable if you need to keep
your baby in a safe environment - particularly when you're away from home - so this is an economical buy!

Whilst it's fun watching your curious baby explore the beach, you may find you need a little break every once in a while! With the Sun Smarties Beach Play Pen you can actually have one, because this 60" pen keeps your little one confined in one safe area where you can watch him. It includes a UPF 50+ adjustable canopy to protect him from the sun and the whole thing weighs just under 3lbs, so it's easy to pop in your suitcase and take wherever you go!

The ever-popular Sun Smarties family beach tent has recently been improved with the addition of extra ventialtion panels to keep it cool inside. The sun protection factor is high (at 50+) and - when needed - you can zip up the flaps and pull down the shades for privacy (or for baby to have a nap). A really handy feature is the flag on top, making it easy to find your family on the beach (unless everyone else is using the Sun Smarties Family Beach Cabana Tent too!).

This is one of our favorite baby beach tents. It pops us very easily... but takes a little skill to get back down (that being said, there's a video on the website that shows you how to do it!). It fits into its own carry bag and comes with large spikes to keep it anchored to the beach. A great product to give you some peace of mind in the sun!
