Always protect children in the sun

A child's skin is thin and fragile. In addition, they have far fewer pigments in their skin than adults. A sunburned child's skin can cause a lot of discomfort and pain, but can also cause more serious late damage, such as skin cancer, later in life. It is therefore important to take extra care of children's skin in the sun.

How to protect babies and children in the sun

Infants should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Always place the pram in the shade and make sure that both the child and the pram bag do not get too hot. Use protective clothing and sunscreen if the baby is exposed to the sun. If absolutely necessary, sunscreen can be used from approximately 3 months of age.Remember that even if the children are small, it is always better to use sunscreen than for the child to risk getting sunburned!

Feel free to choose a sunscreen suitable for sensitive children's skin with a high sun factor (minimum factor 30) and which is extra water and sand resistant.

In addition to plenty of sunscreen with high protection, it is important to protect children in the sun with clothing, UV suits, a sun hat and sunglasses . Seek shade as often as possible and take longer breaks from the sun in the middle of the day, when the sun is at its highest and most intense.
