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!

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!

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!

These baby beach tents live up to their name - after unfolding the tent, one touch is all that's needed to set it up! With an SPF rating of 30 and a very stable structure, this tent can withstand the sun AND the wind... but it's also fun to play with indoors on rainy days!

We have just one word for this tent - FANTASTIC! It's big enough to accommodate the whole family, holding at LEAST 5 adults - yet it's as easy to put up as an umbrella. It comes with stakes and sand bags to secure it on the beach and offers shade, coolness and UPF 50+ sun protection. Ideal for use in the backyard too, to keep your little ones safe during summer play.

Just one pull locks and sets up this cute little tent - and a push down collapses it at the end of the day! Made of soft material with a UV coating, the tent comes with its own carrying bag.

This is the perfect accessory if you plan to travel with your baby - no need to buy a separate shade tent and travel cot when this one does it all! This travel centre pops up for use (so it's no trouble to assemble) and either offers 25 UV protection on the beach or a comfortable and secure sleeping area in your holiday accommodation. It comes with a self-inflating mattress and its own carrying bag - just throw it in the back of the car or pack it in your suitcase and you're ready to go!
