Chances are you've thought about introducing your little one to the outdoors this Summer. Whether that means dipping their little toes into the ocean for the very first time, or letting them safely sit on an inflatable pool canopy under your supervision, you'll want to put them in more than just a swim diaper. Since most doctors will advise against using sunscreen until the baby is 6 months, covering them with swimwear that has UPF is even more critical. And of course, it doesn't hurt if the print is incredibly cute. Here are our top picks for the season.
Hannah Anderson Sunblock Rash Guard Suit
The Hannah Anderson Sunblock Rash Guard Suit ($36) is not only bright and fun, but it protects 99 percent of UVA/UVB rays.

The RuffleButts Long Sleeve One-Piece ($30) provides UPF 50, and comes in nine adorable prints.
SunBusters Boy's Reusable Swim Diapers
These SunBusters Boy's Swim Diapers ($8) are reusable and easy to slip on and off.

Not only is this polka dot SwimZip Little Girl Sassy Surfer Rash Guard Swimsuit ($25-$72) adorable, but it also blocks 98 percent of UVA and UVB rays.
Loop-The-Looping Hammerheads Baby Rashguard
If you love a good graphic print, you'll love Hatley's kids' swimwear line. Think butterfly-covered tankinis and rash guards with surfing gators. Baby brother or sister can match, too, with its line of long-sleeved baby rash guards in the same enchanting prints. Our fav, though is the Loop-The-Looping Hammerheads Baby Rashguard One-Piece ($36).

If your little one loves mermaids, get them the Carter's Girls' Two Piece Swimsuit ($21).
Girls Layna One-Piece in Santorini
The mompreneur behind The Salty Baby was fed up with difficult diaper changes at the beach and set out to create fun and functional swimsuits for the diaper-wearing set. She hit the nail on the head with the adorable Girls Layna One-Piece in Santorini ($25) that has snaps between the legs for easy diaper changes. Even better, they make classy, grown-up suits so mom and baby can match.
