Planning our trip to Aruba and I can't decide if I should purchase for our infant twins swimsuits with SPF protection built into them OR SPF protected t-shirts & swim diapers as a "swim outfit" to the pool... what do you think? I will of course be heavily lathering them with high SPF protection too, frequently.

Advice please.

Thanks

Any protection is good money well spent.....ya wanta take a chance...I personally don't like seeing baby's in those swim diapers and t shirts..whats stopping you from trying both? Money well spent.
Remember, you are basically sitting on the equator, and all the protection is important.

Next Aruba trip in

All we use is a kids 50 spf. Never had any problems, no burns! And they still get a nice tan! Just reapply every once in a while. We usually bring the Huggies little swimmers diapers for when they go in the water.

I also recommend buying the hats that have the wide front brim, and the long flaps for the ears and the back of the neck. These worked great for us when our kids were little. I think they were called Floppy Hats or something like that.

We used SPF t-shirts and swim diapers. I also bought baby sunglasses although I think she mainly chewed on them.

We brought our collapsable stroller with the sunshield and that worked great too. The highrise area has a nice walkway along the hotel strip and she would fall asleep and then I parked her under the chickee.

I also got a kingsize sheet from the maid and would put it down on the sand and it gave a great size area to play with toys. Pail, shovel, watering can, and that keeps them busy for a while. We also got a chair/boat inflatable that was great for the pool and ocean. They sit right in it and you can pull them around. It was great for water aerobics every morning.

If you have not already I would request a crib and highchair in your timeshare unit. It makes life so much easier.

It was a great 15 days for us and I think I will remember it forever. She did also cut a bunch of teeth so bring some Orajel, it was hard to find on the island but then again that was 16 years ago.

Have a great trip, .

My kids (1.5 and 3) always wear a "lycra" (SPF-t-shirt) and surfshorts. We cover them with sunscreen (SPF-30) and repaet that every hour. We go to the sea almost every day and they never got a sunburn. We (try) to keep them out of the sun between 12 and 3 pm. That is when the sun is at it's strongest
