A day at the beach is an adventure for the whole family. But as much as we all want to relax and enjoy the warm weather it can be dangerous for children to be exposed to the sun for extended amounts of time. The cold seawater, too, can be a risk for small children who are vulnerable to rapid changes in temperature and weather conditions. That’s why bringing all the right gear to the beach is absolutely essential for your kids’ health, comfort, and safety. Here’s why every child needs a changing robe at the beach:

Even on a sunny day, sea breezes or water activities can leave children feeling chilled, especially when stepping out of the water. Seashell changing robes are designed with a plush 360gms fleece lining and sherpa inner that offers immediate warmth and helps maintain body temperature. The quick and efficient warming capability of these robes can prevent the discomfort of shivering after a swim and reduce the risk of catching colds from prolonged exposure to cool air.

Children's skin is particularly sensitive to UV rays, and while suncream is a must, additional protective layers are always beneficial. Seashell changing robes are made with materials that can provide an extra layer of sun protection, allowing children to enjoy extended playtime on the beach without the constant need for reapplication of suncream on covered areas.

At the beach, wind and blowing sand can be irritating, particularly for young children. A changing robe acts as a shield, protecting sensitive skin from harsh elements and preventing sand from sticking to wet skin, which can be scratchy and uncomfortable.

Beach outings often lack private changing areas, which can be problematic for children changing out of wet, sandy swimwear. A Seashell changing robe offers a convenient solution, allowing children to change in and out of their swimwear quickly and discreetly without awkwardness or exposure. 

Seashell changing robes are designed to be kid-friendly and easy to slip on and off, accommodating rapid changes. They're also lightweight and easy to pack, taking up minimal space in a beach bag or backpack. 

Changing robes aren’t limited to the beach. For families who enjoy camping or engaging in outdoor activities, changing robes provide a comfortable way for children to stay warm during cooler evenings or mornings. changing robes can be worn throughout the day as an everyday jacket, perfect for any outdoor setting. 

Seashell changing robes come in a variety of colours, allowing children to pick and choose a style that they love and feel good wearing. This can make it easier to encourage them to keep their robes on for protection, as they also serve as a stylish accessory.

Including a changing robe in your child’s beach kit can also serve as a tool for educating them about water safety and the importance of staying warm and protected. It's an opportunity to discuss why we take these precautions and help them develop good habits and self-care practices from a young age.

By providing warmth and protection from the elements, changing robes enable children to continue playing and enjoying the outdoors even when the temperature drops or the weather changes. This means more time spent outside, engaging in physical activity, and exploring nature.

Using a changing robe can significantly cut down on the number of wet, sandy towels and swimsuits that parents have to wash after a beach day, making the outing less cumbersome in terms of laundry. The kids' Seashell Robe is designed for repeated daily use, without needing to dry it. 

With a changing robe, the beach season can be extended into the cooler months. Children can continue to enjoy the beach without the worry of getting too cold, allowing for year-round seaside adventures. In the summer, children may be more comfortable with the Seashell Towelling Robe, a lighter alternative to the changing robe, which also functions as a changing robe. As a waterproof option, however, the changing robe is highly convenient, highly insulating, yet breathable for milder weather.
