How to choose children's sun protection clothing? These 5 indicators cannot be missed

Babies can play in the water in summer, but UV protection must not be sloppy. Teach you to choose a truly effective and comfortable sun protection clothing.

🧸 Why do children need sun protection clothing more?

Children's skin is not yet fully developed, the epidermis is thinner, the melanin is less, and ultraviolet rays are easier to penetrate. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), infants and young children may suffer from mild sunburn after being exposed to the sun for 15 minutes, and this damage is long-term and cumulative, increasing the risk of skin cancer in adulthood.

Compared with the inconvenient application of sunscreen, wearing UPF50+ sun protection clothing is the simplest and most effective way, especially for children who like to play in the water, sweat, or have sensitive skin.

✅ How to choose sun protection clothing? Look at these 5 key indicators

🟡 1. UPF 50+ sun protection level certification
UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) represents the ability of clothing to block ultraviolet rays. UPF50+ means that it can block at least 98% of UVA and UVB, which is the preferred standard for baby's swimwear and sun protection clothing.
📝 Tip: Pay attention to whether it is marked with "UPF50+" or passed Australian/European certification.

🟡 2. The larger the coverage area, the more comprehensive the protection
Priority should be given to the following when purchasing:

Long-sleeved design → Protect the most exposed parts of the arms

High collar or hood → Avoid sunburn on the neck and head

One-piece or two-piece suit → Reduce the exposed area, suitable for outdoor activities and water play

👒 Upandfast hot selling recommendation:
[Baby Girl UPF50+ Swimsuit Set] One-piece + wide-brimmed sun hat, one-piece molding is easier to wear;
[Boy UPF Beach Pants] Light and quick-drying, with sun protection tops for all-day protection.

🟡 3. Fabric density and comfort coexist
The protection of sun protection clothing comes from tight weaving rather than heavy materials. High-quality polyester, nylon and other quick-drying fabrics are used, which can not only resist ultraviolet rays, but also maintain a breathable and cool feeling.
✅ All UpandFast sun protection swimwear uses highly elastic and environmentally friendly fabrics, which are chlorine-resistant, sun-resistant, not easy to deform, and skin-friendly and non-irritating.

🟡 4. Zipper/button design makes it easier to put on and take off
It is normal for babies to resist dressing. When purchasing, it is recommended to choose:

Half-open zipper design → easier to put on and take off

Soft cuffs → prevent friction on baby's skin

Safe and without metal parts → suitable for seawater/swimming pools

🟡 5. Don't ignore colors and patterns
Dark colors can absorb ultraviolet rays better, but they are also easy to absorb heat. UpandFast specially designed sunscreen clothes with soft colors and lively patterns, which are both protective and meet the needs of children's visual development.
🌈 Small animals, fruits, shells, and tropical elements are the hot design elements this summer.

🌞 Sunscreen clothes are the basis of baby's summer equipment

Don't wait until you get sunburned to regret it, you should protect it carefully every day. Choose a sunscreen clothing that is truly professionally certified, fully covered, comfortable and safe, so that children can have fun and parents can feel more at ease.
