11 Safe Bug Sprays For Babies and Kids, According to Pediatricians

3M Ultrathon Insect Repellent Spray, Splash and Sweat Resistant ($14)

3M Ultrathon's spray is sweat and splash-resistant, making it an ideal choice for families on long hikes or water play. And you likely won't have to reapply again for several hours. "Higher the concentration of DEET, the longer the product will repel bugs, up to about 50%," Dr. Stovall says. Poison Control says 25% DEET concentrations — the amount in this product — can last about five hours, limiting the need to reapply. Two click-top locks prevent leaks and keep young children from being able to use the spray when they're not attended.

Top review: "My youngest child has severe reactions to mosquito bites, and we, unfortunately, live in an area that is generally high in mosquitos year-round. This spray has made the difference and allows him to get through the school day without issues."
