Darling denim dungarees
Denim is one of the best materials for summer outfits because it’s versatile, comfortable and breathable! Denim dungarees, in particular, are a must-have for little boys and girls, as they can be paired with any T-shirt!
Our darling dungarees feature handy poppers that make changes a breeze and are embroidered with sweet designs, helping you show off your baby’s unique personality.

The last thing you want to do on a holiday is battle to get your little one dressed for the day. So, why not put them in a cute one-piece to take the stress out of getting dressed?

Brilliant backpack
Being a parent means carrying an endless list of essentials with you day to day, from spare nappies to snacks. And you can add sun cream, a first-aid kit and a cover-up to that list when travelling during summer.
But don’t worry, you can keep everything in one place with a brilliant baby backpack!

Sun-safe bucket hat
Everyone loves to have fun in the sun, but babies have super sensitive skin. That means taking extra steps to shield them from the sun's rays, even after you’ve covered them in sun cream.
We suggest popping a comfy bucket hat on that little head to protect their scalp while providing cool comfort. This 100% cotton denim hat is breathable yet protective, with a wide rim to keep the sun off their face.

Snazzy sunglasses
Speaking of sun safety, make sure to protect your baby’s sensitive eyes, too!
Babiators are the must-have sunglasses for growing babies. These adorable sunnies have 100% UVA and UVB protection to keep sensitive eyes safe from the sun. They feature rubber frames and shatterproof lenses, so they won’t break even if they’re dropped.

3 packing tips for stepping into summer with confidence!
Finally, get prepped to enjoy a stress-free trip with our three top packing tips:
Put comfort first. When picking outfits for your trip, always put comfort first! Our selection of baby clothes prioritises using breathable, comfortable materials like cotton, which are also super cute, so you get the best of both worlds!
Pack familiar items. Travelling can be quite stressful for little ones as they’re leaving the environment they know. Help smooth the transition by packing toys they’re familiar with.
Personalise your tot’s belongings. Personalising your baby’s items not only makes them special but also ensures they won’t get mixed up with others if you’re travelling with other tiny tots. Add a personal touch to your tot’s travel accessories with our personalisation service!
We hope you enjoy your holiday!
