We're getting ready to go on a beach holiday with our (will be) 19 month old son & I can't decide whether to get him a one piece UV zip up or a two piece UV set. I'm also battling (& losing) in trying to get a hat to stay on his head! Fortunately he does have hair & is olive skinned, but I'm aware that he needs some protection.

Last year he wore a two piece & a hat, but because he's (very) mobile this year I'm wondering if he'll get too hot / irritated wearing a one piece (he's a fusspot). Particularly as this year it'll be impossible to keep him in the shade.


Any advice gratefully received.


Thanks

I found these UV suits really useful with my daughter, as well as long sleeved cotton shirts that protected her skin. I am not sure it will matter too much if you get a one piece or two piece (there are usually quite a few for sale on ebay), so perhaps you could get one of each?

I would get both! And some spare swim shorts. We seem to go through many outfit changes/stripping off/wanting to put back on again etc whilst at the beach/pool....


My two quite like the jojo lycra type sun hats with the neck protection that they can wear in the water....


And sunglasses!

I think that the 2 piece set are good as if they need a nappy change its easy and you don't have to remove the whole thing if it's wet

Have you bought washable swim nappies

I bought my son this as it lasts 2 years for the price and it's UK protected, jojoba man also offer one I have seen similar in teach at a cheaper price. I hate buying things full price but the iv washes out after a while so I've heard so you need to be careful ! http://polarnopyret.co.uk/uv-kids-swim-top-quality-sun-safe-kids-rash-vest

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
