Q&A: What gear do I need when taking baby to the beach?

Lots! When taking your baby to the beach, it may seem like you're packing for a weeklong vacation but fear not, The Baby Planners "Top Product Picks for the Beach" will get you to the fun in the sun in no time.

Waterproof Beach Bag – You're going to be bringing a lot of "stuff" so the bigger the better! A zip top ensures items stay inside and sand stays out.

Sunscreen – There are so many great sunscreens for Baby (and you!) on the market. We love sunscreen wipes for easy re-application, MD Moms and Shady Day are both great options!

Baby Banz WrapZ Gift Set – This cute set of sunglasses and sun hat for baby come in a waterproof tote. Fabulous!

Pail and Shovel Play Kit – Old-school toys that never go out of style.

Tuffo Beach Blanket – This water-resistant nylon-backed cotton blanket is a must have for beach days, great at the park, too!

SPF Baby Swimsuits – An easy way to keep Baby sun safe while playing shore side.

Infant Beach Tent – We're big fans of these infant cabanas that keep Baby out of the sun—great for naptime, too.

Wet Bag – From dirty diapers to a wet bathing suit, these multi-purpose bags come in handy. Of course, plastic baggies work well, too.

Baby Powder – As we all know, sand everywhere can ruin an otherwise perfect day. Who knew that a little sprinkle of baby powder on sandy parts gets rid of it!

Formula and snack dispensers – we think Munchkin's snack catcher is fab—convenient, waterproof, and oh so cute!

Of course, remember to bring your fully loaded diaper bag with all your baby basics, from diapers to first aid kit. Hang ten!
