Summer Essentials for Your Little One: A Must-Have Checklist

Summer Essentials for Your Little One: A Must-Have Checklist

Summer brings with it longer days, brighter skies, and all the more reason to step out and make memories. But with rising temperatures, it’s important to ensure your little one stays cool, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the season. 

Here’s a thoughtfully curated summer checklist by Todlerry to help you get ready with all the must-haves — without missing a thing!

Breathable Everyday Wear

Hot days call for light, airy, and soft fabrics. Cotton is your best friend during this time — it’s gentle on the skin, breathable, and helps absorb sweat without causing irritation.

Look for outfits in loose-fitting designs: sleeveless tops, airy frocks, rompers, and co-ords that allow free movement and better airflow.

Todlerry Tip: Pastels and lighter hues not only look adorable but also reflect sunlight, keeping your little one cooler. 

Sun Hats & Shade Caps

The summer sun can be harsh, especially during outdoor strolls or playtime. A lightweight hat with a wide brim or a soft cap with flaps helps protect sensitive areas like the face, ears, and neck.

Choose ones that are adjustable, washable, and easy to fold.

Todlerry Loves: Adding fun details like ears, bows, or animal prints for extra cuteness!. 

Gentle Sunscreen Protection

A good baby-safe sunscreen is essential even for short outdoor exposure. Opt for dermatologist-tested formulas that are free from parabens, artificial fragrance, or alcohol.

Look for SPF 30+ and PA+++ protection for effective coverage.

Pro Tip: Apply 20 minutes before stepping out, and reapply if you’re out for long. 

Open-Toe Sandals or Soft Shoes

Feet tend to sweat a lot in summer. Choose soft, open-toe sandals or lightweight shoes with ventilation. Flexible soles help with balance while keeping those little steps comfy and secure.

Todlerry Tip: Step into summer with soft sole shoes crafted for comfort, safety, and effortless style.

Hydration Must-Haves

The heat can cause quicker dehydration. Whether it’s water, fresh fruit juices (age-appropriate), or coconut water, keeping a sipper bottle handy ensures your little one stays refreshed throughout the day.

Extra Care: Use BPA-free bottles and clean them thoroughly after every use.

Muslin Swaddles, Bibs & Wipes

Multi-functional muslin cloths are true summer saviors. Use them as breathable stroller covers, lightweight swaddles, feeding bibs, or gentle wipes. They’re soft, absorbent, and super easy to wash and dry.

Why Muslin?: It’s naturally breathable and ideal for warm weather layering.

Soft Layers for Indoors

While it may be warm outside, indoor spaces — especially malls, clinics, or supermarkets — can be over-air-conditioned. Carry a soft cotton shrug, light hoodie, or full-sleeve top to layer up gently when needed.

Toddler Must-Have: A neutral-toned cotton layer that pairs perfectly with everything.
