Q: Why is UPF 50+ swimwear important for sun protection for kids?

A: UPF 50+ swimwear provides the highest level of sun protection by blocking out more than 98% of harmful UV rays, ensuring your child's skin remains safe under the sun. This means that a UPF 50+ rash vest, like those stocked at Babes In The Shade, actually offers more sun protection than sunscreen! If you are looking for swimwear that filters out the sun's dangerous rays and offers your kids the ultimate sun protection, opting for a rash vest from Babes In The Shade is perfect!

Q: What makes Babes In The Shade girl's rash vests different from other swimwear?

A: Our girl's long-sleeved rash vests are made from a chlorine-resistant fabric that doesn't stretch, wear, or fade, ensuring durability and vibrant colours that last through many summer seasons. Our girls rashies have a zip up front which makes for easy changing - a great aspect for any busy parent. Furthermore, our rash vest collection offers UPF 50+ sun protection, ensuring your kids stay safe in the summer sun! This means your little ones can play in the waves at the beach, or hang around poolside, all the while having their skin protected from the sun's rays. We know that some kids find wearing a rash vest to be a chore, that's why we have worked long and hard to design a collection of rash vest designs that kids actually love (and with their added sun protection, parents love too!).

Q: How can I ensure my daughter's swimwear and rash vest fit her properly?

A: Great question! Choosing the correct size for your little one is crucial for their comfort and ensuring sun protection. Our sizing guide is designed to help you find the perfect fit for your child, ensuring she feels great every day while she's out enjoying the water. If you have any further questions about our kid's swimwear or rash vest sizing please don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly team.

Q: How do I care for and maintain the quality of my kid's rash vest and swimwear?

A: To maintain the quality and longevity of your kid's rash vest and swimwear, rinse in cold water after each use and follow our care instructions to avoid damage from sun, salt, or chlorine. The correct care and maintenance are important for ongoing sun protection as well as getting the most out of your purchase.

Q: Can the kid's rash vests be worn for other activities besides swimming?

A: Absolutely! Our girl's rashies are versatile enough for various outdoor activities, offering comfort and protection whether she's at the beach, in the garden, or playing on a sunny day. Having one of our rash vest designs stocked in your little one's wardrobe can be a no-brainer for sun protection for last-minute outdoor activities. Our designs filter out the sun's dangerous rays and allow your little one to have fun in the sun, without the stress of harming their skin. So, skip the frantic search for the right thing to wear, and rest assured that with our rash vest and swimwear designs your little one will always have the ultimate in sun protection, at her fingertips.

Q: How often should I replace my child's swimwear?

A: While our swimwear is built to last through lots of wear and days in the sun and water, we recommend replacing your child's swimwear whenever you notice wear in the material. While some very active kids may need to upgrade their swimwear every season, it is much more likely that our rash vest and swimwear collections will last your little one a few. The best rule of thumb is to regularly check the quality of your little ones' swimwear and rash vest designs to check for any serious wear. Frequent exposure to chlorine and salt water can eventually degrade even the best fabrics. Inspect the swimwear regularly for any signs of wear such as thinning material, loss of elasticity, or fade in colour.

Naturally, children are growing regardless and sizing is very important to offer adequate sun protection, so the fit of your little ones' swimwear is another important consideration when deciding if their collection needs an update.
