How do I keep baby out of the sun at the beach?

Sara S

Now that the baby summer stuff is going up for sale on ebay and local sales, I started thinking about the coming up summer (sigh). My baby is 4 months right now, and I've purchased a rash gaurd and baby sunscreen already, but I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of any great products that can help me keep the direct sun and bugs off of him when we go to thebeach this summer (we go alot, and I'm looking forward to getting outside with the baby) Or if you have any hints on bringing a baby to the beach, I'd appreciate them. I've seen little domed screen things that you can zip the baby in, they're kind of like a small play pen, but I think mine will be too big by the summer time.

I know I could get an umbrella, but that's not really doable in my area, they don't allow them on most beaches, and the shaded spots always fill up right away. I'm just thinking about all the new hazards (sand in eyes, sunburn, other kids, ahhhh can't wait)

I appreciate any advice from other parents, I will do a best answer as long as no one says "bring an umbrella" JK

Answer
Can you get a popup shelter? This may sound silly, but they have them for pets. It folds flat but then pops up into a cube. It might take some fiddling but you could cut the fabric on the sides so you can get to him but keep the top intact for shade. They're nylon so they're pretty sand and moisture proof.
Just found one for babies, here's the link to one on eBay so you can see it. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sun-Smarties-Infant-Beach-Cabana-Tent-GREAT-CONDITION_W0QQitemZ120378916326QQihZ002QQcategoryZ117033QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
What do they allow on your beaches? Could you use two chairs and drape a beach towel between them as long as his fingers didn't get pinched.
The only other thing I'd suggest is make sure he keeps a hat on to shade his eyes.
Hope your little guy has fun.

Get a ping pong table and invite your friends over, that is so much fun. They are not that expensive and Ebay you can find them at a steal :) Or an Air Hockey table is a blast too :)
Go to the beach and play volleyball.
Hand ball used to keep me entertained for hours, banging a jelly ball against the wall with friends, so much fun :)
Take walks or go to the dog park, if you have animals. They are free and you and your pet will have a blast :)
Pitch a tent in the back yard on nights when it's hot out, barbecue, invite your friends over and tan stay outside run the sprinklers or go in a pool.
There is a ton of things to do if you go to City Hall and get a pamphlet on all the Cities Community gatherings. Lol, I'm not wording this correctly, I can't think :) But the City will offer so many fun things to do. Like movies in the Park nights, or dance classes, fun recreational events, and things you can join with friends. :)
I hope this helps, and have a great summer :)
