Summer is VERY different once you have a baby. Packing to go anywhere is crazy. We almost ALWAYS forget something, even if we’re using one of my many checklists.
Luckily, i’ve found 9 items that have proven to be the BEST summer baby products around!
Check out my must-have, summer baby items that come along with us wherever we go!

Laycol Pool Float
My son LOVES this pool float. Not only is it super stable, but you have the choice to flip baby on their belly or back. My little guy prefers to be on his belly, so I really love this option! It also comes with a detachable canopy to keep baby in the shade while still enjoying pool time!
Sun Bum Baby Bum Spray Sunscreen
Sunscreen is one of those things that can be tricky for babies. With all of the scary, harmful chemicals that sneak their way into our personal care products, you want to make sure you’re giving your baby the very best.
When it comes to baby sunscreen, opt for a physical (also known as a mineral) sunscreen. These sunscreens contain ingredients that sit on the surface of the skin and reflect the sun, rather than chemical sunscreens that get absorbed into skin.
I’ve been loving the Sun Bum Baby Bum mineral SPF 50 spray sunscreen! It’s a plant-based formula that contains ingredients like natural zinc oxide, coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter, while leaving out the parabens, sulfates, silicones and phthalates. It’s water-resistant up to 80 minutes, and does really well on my baby’s sensitive skin.
Tommy Bahama Sun Shelter
My husband was so excited when he came home with this from Costco (as in so excited he set it up in our kitchen to try it out). We bring this thing everywhere! It offers a great place for baby to stay shaded when there are no shaded places available.
Summer Infant Pop n’ Jump Portable Activity Center
This thing is AMAZING. My son LOVES jumpers. The Summer Infant Pop N’ Jump folds up easily and is great to keep your baby occupied (and in one place) while on the go! This has accompanied us to BBQs, beaches and pool trips!
Summer Infant Pop N’ Sit Booster Seat
Summer Infant does it again! This little booster seat is perfect for travel. Comes with a removable tray for feeding and a mesh storage pocket in the back!
Classic Heather Zipadee-Zip
Thank goodness for the Zipadee-Zip! This sleepsack is what got my son sleeping through the night! I love the Classic Heather style for the Summer months. It’s a polyester and spandex blend that’s super light for summer, while still cozy enough for my little guy.
Bright Starts Stay Cool Teethers
My son just cut two teeth in the same week, so these teethers have been lifesavers! I also love sticking them in the fridge and giving them to him for a little refresher when we’re outside in the summer heat.
Green Sprouts Baby iPlay Rash Guard
This long sleeve rash guard has been a go-to wardrobe piece for us this summer. The material is nice, stretchy and breathable. The fabric also has UPF 50+, which blocks 97.5%-99% of harmful UV rays.
Exemaba Baby Sun Hat
This hat has been glued to my little guy’s head all summer. I love that it has a UPF 50+, so the material actually blocks the UV rays. Plus, the shark design is super cute!
