Best Summer Baby Products 6-12 Months
Summertime is one of my favorite seasons. I love nothing more than getting out and going on adventures with my family. While the summer heat can sometimes be a drag, there are a lot of products out there that make life with a baby in tow a lot easier — take it from this third time mom who has had two summer babies.
I have put together a list of my favorite summer products that I recommend for your little one, ages 6-12 months. For babies ages 0-6 months, please check out: Best Summer Baby Products for 0-6 Months.
Babiators
Keep your baby stylin’ and their eyes protected with Babiators. These are my absolute favorite baby sunglasses out there and for good reason.
Babiators are SAFE! They have UV400 lenses that offer 100% UVA and UVB protection and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they’re safe for your child – whether they’re on your child’s face or end up in your child’s mouth.
Babiators are DURABLE! These sunglasses feature flexible rubber frames and impact- and shatter-resistant lenses that won’t break when you bend, twist, or step on them.
Babiators are STYLISH! Available in Navigators, Aviators, and Polorized, there really is something for every child out there. I honestly can’t stand how cute these sunglasses are and know they will protect my little guy from age 0 to age 5, and then we can switch to aces Navigator which is for ages 6 and up.
But the best part? If they get lost or broken in the first year? They’ll replace them for free! Just pay shipping.

California Baby Sunscreen
You’ve finally hit that milestone where your baby can probably now put on sunscreen. I have always been so picky about what I am putting on my children’s skin and California Baby is definitely a product that I use and have trusted for the last 7 years. With many options available, they have sun protection for everyone.
California Baby’s multi-award-winning mineral sunscreens do not contain the allergy-triggering, hormone-disrupting chemicals found in many common sunscreens. Their active ingredient, titanium dioxide, blocks sun rays by creating a physical barrier and is NOT absorbed into the skin like chemical sunscreens. They are also free of common allergens and irritants so it’s perfect for allergy-prone, sensitive skin.

California Baby Bug Repellent Spray
Camping or being out in the evenings with a little one can be not so very fun. But thankfully California baby has a natural bug spray safe for our babies.
Their award-winning Natural Bug Repellent is a non-toxic alternative to foul-smelling DEET products and is safe for babies over six months. This DEET-free, Natural Bug Blend harnesses the active ingredients of pure essential oils of citronella, lemongrass and cedar, which smell lovely to human but are naturally repellent to annoying bugs such as fleas, mosquitoes, ticks and biting flies.
The eco-friendly spray is made from plant-based ingredients and is safe for head-to-toe use (avoid contact with eyes). This spray is double duty too, it soothes existing bites with herbs that care for the skin. The sprayer twists to lock, so it’s great for travel and camping.

Regalo Baby Portable Play Yard
You may have recognized this amazing play yard in my Best Summer Baby Products 0-6 Months, but it’s honestly THAT good and perfect for kids over the age of 6 months all the way to 24 months. This play yard has become a staple for us and we use it all the time.
The Regalo Play Yard is truly portable. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and in less than a minute the this play yard can be opened for use or closed and put away in its carrying case.
It’s replaced our pack n’ play and I will always recommend this to any parent out there. The best part is it comes in either a 6 Panel or 8 panel size and both retail for under $100.
