The essentials for a successful beach trip with children

Every parent knows the logistical complexity of traveling with one or more children. For all those who forget, those in a hurry, or those who are perfectionists, we've compiled a list of essentials for a successful time at the beach or pool.

• An anti-UV swimsuit
  Here, it's no surprise that we start with swimwear, and of course we recommend the Drôles de Marmots range of anti-UV swimwear! Style, practicality and sun protection: A real must-have for all your swimming trips.

• Beach shoes
  A good pair of shoes can also make a difference. Pebble beaches or slippery poolsides will be a distant memory.
• A suitable sunscreen
  For sun protection, nothing beats a good sunscreen in addition to UV protection. Today, many brands offer creams that respect both children's skin and the environment. You'll also find a sunscreen comparison to help you make your choice.
• Sunglasses
  Protecting our little ones' sensitive eyes, like their fragile skin, is essential. Choosing glasses with a good protection factor and comfort that will ensure long-term acceptance by children is essential.
  

• A hat
  Always with sun protection in mind, every outing should be accompanied by a hat to protect your little ones from heatstroke.

• A parasol or UV tent
  Having a tent or parasol is the best way to ensure some shade for the whole family. Today, there are tents that combine style and protection: a truly great idea.

• Towel or poncho
  To dry and warm your little ones after a swim, don't forget a towel. We recommend Ti-ponch ponchos or towels for their high-quality materials and beautiful designs.
• A mist sprayer
  For little ones who aren't yet swimming, a mist maker will provide a refreshing refreshment. For environmental reasons, there are refillable mist makers available in pharmacies or online.

• Food and drink
  During swimming time, your little ones explore, play, and learn. So many activities that require a lot of energy. In case of a little hunger and to stay well hydrated, pack a small cooler with a water bottle, a bottle, and a snack, and you're all set.

• Games
  You know, whatever you bring, your little ones will definitely want to play with the toys brought by their next-door friend. However, to avoid boredom and therefore worries, a shovel, a bucket, a ball, and a rake will do the trick.
  We recommend you take a look at the Dantoy range of toys. They are made from organic plastic, made from sugarcane. They are as pretty as they are eco-friendly.

• Buoys
  Safety first! As soon as your little ones are old enough to move around, it's essential to bring age-appropriate armbands or floats.
• A change
  Finally, you will need to think about a change of clothes. Here, slip in an easy-to-put-on outfit so as not to ask too much of your kids who will have had a great time and will be very tired.

  Now that your bag is ready, all that's left is to enjoy all these moments shared with your children!
  Pssst: We've put together a little checklist that you can print or screenshot to always have on hand as a reminder.
