Spending the warm-weather days at the pool or by the beach is a fun way to help the kids burn off some energy, and it can be great for you, too. Not sure what to wear while chasing your kid around the sand? Toss on your favorite swimsuit and get shopping for a cover-up. There are a number of things that might be important to moms who are shopping for cover-ups, so we included them all: pockets, ease of wear, and limited things your little one can yank on (as cute as pom-pom decorations are, too many and you're asking for a problem!). Happy shopping!
