Frequently Asked Questions
The most effective way to protect your baby from the sun in a pushchair is to use a UPF 50+ parasol, which provides instant, adjustable shade without the need to apply sunscreen. The NHS recommends keeping babies under 6 months out of direct sunlight entirely – a parasol is the most practical way to achieve this while still being able to go out. For older babies and toddlers, combine a parasol with SPF 50+ sunscreen on exposed skin, a sun hat, and lightweight, protective clothing. Avoid going out during the hottest part of the day (11am–3pm) when UV levels are highest.
Sunscreen is not recommended for babies under 6 months – their skin is too sensitive and thin to absorb sunscreen safely. For babies under 6 months, keep them out of direct sunlight using shade, a parasol, and protective clothing. For babies over 6 months, use a mineral-based SPF 50+ sunscreen specifically formulated for babies and young children. Apply to all exposed skin, including the back of the hands and neck, and reapply every 2 hours or after water exposure.
Yes – a car sunshade is strongly recommended for any journey with a baby or young child. Car windows do not block all UV rays, and direct sunlight through a car window can cause sunburn and overheat your baby's car seat. A UV-protective car sunshade blocks direct sunlight, keeps the car cooler, and protects your baby's skin during journeys. They are particularly important for rear-facing car seats, where your baby faces the rear window and may be in direct sunlight for extended periods.
