Today marks the start of Sun Awareness Week and over the next few days we’ll be bringing you our pick of the best sun hats, sunglasses and summer shoes to help protect your little one as the temperature rises.
As we all know, too much sun exposure can cause skin damage. Babies and young children are particularly at risk of sunburn as they have very delicate skin, so if you’re out in the garden with your tot, a baby sun hat is an important purchase to keep your little one safe in the hot sun. Here’s our favourites;
