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.

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/CANADA
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/CANADA 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 Sun Stop'r Kwik Cabanas are great baby beach tents and have a nice little feature that some others don't - side pockets that you can fill to weigh the tent down. This is really useful if you're in a windy area, as some of these tents are quite lightweight and are difficult to secure when unoccupied! This tent is also certified by the AMC Cancer Research Center as sun protective and the fabric gives SPF 50+ protection. 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! US ONLY
These economically priced beach tents are probably better for older babies and toddlers and also feature the corner sandbag to provide stability. US BASED (WILL DELIVER INTERNATIONALLY)
These baby beach tents have a flag on top to make them easy to spot when there are lots of other tents on the beach. The only problem might be if everyone else bought this tent, too! And they may well have - this tent has lots of ventilation, helping to keep your family cool whilst protecting everyone from the sun - and you have the choice of securing it with anchor stakes (making it ideal for the beach) or weighing the special pockets down with sand. US/CANADA
Older babies and toddlers will love this little chair, because it will make them feel like one of the "grown ups"! It has a handy zippered pouch, which is useful for keeping small toys safe and it folds nice and flat, so it's easy to store! US ONLY

Fantastic value for money, this baby beach tent doubles up as a travel cot. Not only does its versatility save you money - it cuts down on luggage space, too. The manufacturers recommend it from birth up to the age of five, although we think it's better suited up to the age of three at the most. Still, that represents plenty of use for this well designed accessory for your tiny traveller! UK ONLY
