Let's think summer! Rec your beach products for toddlers!

DD will be 13-15 months this summer. She will most likely be walking by then (already cruising) and I plan on going to the beach multiple times a week.

I would like a tent type umbrella Bc I can not for the life of me set up a regular umbrella ever! Do you have one that is big enough but easy to assemble and disassemble?

Water shoes? Any kind you recommend?

Wagon? To drag all the shit and my child?

Anything else that I would need??

Puddle Jumper pool floats are great because they are coast guard certified personal flotation devices (of course I would never leave a child unattended in a pool even with them on.)

At target they have these mesh seats that are circular and great too.

Most public pools will NOT allow any floatation devices. I used a wagon for his stuff and him. Lots of pails and shovels, big towels, water shoes..

Honestly an inexpensive pack and play. I brought mine everywhere. When we would go to the beach I would set it up and after they played for a while I would set them up in it with the umbrella covering and it was great, they can play, eat and take a nap.

Water shoes are great, we used them in DS all the time last summer. I love using the wagon for the beach. DS sits in it with a bunch of our stuff. It even has little trays in it so I sit him in the wagon for lunch (helps keep the sand out of his food)

I love op water shoes from Wal-Mart but I think they start in size 5. I like that they have an opening with a Velcro strap. It's so hard to get water shoes off and on without that.

For flotation, definitely puddle jumpers but your dd may be too small. There is also a " no flotation devices" sign at the pool we belong to, but they don't count safety devices for kids.

I also like to bring some type of small table. Like a plastic lap table or tiny folding kids table. Otherwise they get sand in their food immediately.

I don't bother with kids beach chairs. They NEVER Sat in them abd I was dragging them for nothing. I bring a beach blanket.

My FAVORITE water shoes are the Surf Socks from One Step Ahead. They are just like wearing socks, but they have a thin rubber layer on the bottom and they have Sun protection in them. They're around $10 a pair.
