-My doctor told me no sun block on my baby until he is six months old but I would rather put sun block on my infant than have him burn, and I am going to Florida on vacation. What do you recommend?

Yes, we hear this question from many of our customers and we know that whatever your doctor recommends would be what you should do. That being said, we have some solutions to help you avoid the sun. The SunFree Blankee is a light-weight sheet that ties on to just about anything. Parent's use this blanket to tie to the stroller, front carrier, or to drape over their child while at any outdoor event. It even comes in a cape with a hood that is perfect for times when you have to spend longer durations in the sun, such as an infant on a bike seat or in a baby jogger while Mom or Dad gets some exercise. The protection: 98% UV blocking


- My baby gets a rash out in the heat, will your clothing help protect her?

The swimsuits and Solaroo rash guards that we sell are not only UV blocking, they help guard against rashes because they are fast drying. Many of our sales for UV blocking swimsuits are to Northerner's, in the winter, who use them in indoor pools so that their children can dry quicker once they are out. We also hear from a lot of parents that their child has eczema, and that their doctor has recommended wearing UV blocking clothes to lesson the skin irritation. Please note that our clothes are UV blocking because of the weave of the product and are not chemically treated like other companies might offer.

-I see various cabana's offered on your website, which one should l get?

Depending on the age of your child, there are several options. The Cabana I (or Cabana II which is larger) and the Sun Dome are the two most compared by consumers. The Cabana I folds up like a rain umbrella, and has a shoulder strap for easy carrying. It is extremely easy to open and close by using cords to pull on, and has breathable side ventilation and a large front screen that zips up to keep the bugs out. For families with bigger kids, or that just want more room, the Cabana III fits two adults and two children. The sun dome folds flat with a shoulder strap, so again, it is easy to carry and store. It offers the same side ventilation, but has a larger mesh area on one side. It opens and closes with a twist-action. So which is right for you? We sell equal amounts of each and they are all UPF50+, providing sun protection for your child, it depends on your own personal needs but they all serve the purpose of providing sun protection on your little ones!

-My child won't wear sunglasses, but I want to protect his eyes.

The owner's of the company agree, getting a child to wear sunglasses is hard work. They used to offer 100% UV blocking sunglasses by another brand, but quickly switched inventory to the Banz product because they tried them and it worked for their children. The Banz sunglasses have no arms, so little hands won't snap them, or poke themselves in the eye. They are also adjustable to fit a child's head, and have a Velcro band for adjustable sizing that grows with the child, ages 0-2 and 2-5, so they will last through a few years.
