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

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
