Discover the Top 20 Must-Have Summer Products for Kids on Amazon
School is almost out, or even out for some, and it is going to be hot, long, and “boring”. Been there, done that. It will also be filled with outdoor time and travel for some. As a mom of four, I always try to come up with ways to make sure my kiddos spend as much time outside as possible (yes they do watch tv and have plenty of screen time), and make summer fun. We also try to go to the beach, park, visit family and friends, travel, and just enjoy the days we can spend with the kids.
Finding products that help with travel, activities, and boredom can be daunting. I have compiled a list that I think will allow you to have a fun summer with your kids in tow. Here is a list of the top 20 must-have Amazon items I found super useful for my kids during the summer.
1. Baby Delight Go with Me Venture Chair, Indoor/Outdoor Portable Chair with Sun Canopy
This is by far the most useful travel-friendly product. This super-light chair is foldable and easy to transport. Use it at a picnic, restaurant, outdoor event, or poolside. It can even be used during a trip to family and friends. A great way to have your child stay put and eat.
I have used many products to contain my children while we travel; this one is the most versatile of them all. Feeding the wiggly toddler will be a breeze with this. Bonus this chair grows with the child and can support a standing child in the mesh below.
2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon
Do you have kids that refuse to sit in a stroller? Or do you have kids that love to play together in their double stroller? Then this wagon stroller is for you! I loved this with my two boys as they were able to face each other and play, share a snack and just giggle.
You can push or pull it, it has a lot of storage, and since it is all-terrain you can use it anywhere you wish to take your kids.
3. Hipsterkid Baby Sunglasses with Strap, Bendable, Shatter-Resistant
This is definitively a summer must-have. Those baby eyes are super sensitive, and getting sun in their eyes makes for a miserable baby. I love the strap that it comes with so that they can’t lose them or toss them, and it helps keep them in place. These glasses are UVA/UVB protected, polarized, and shatterproof. They are also super bendy, so baby can’t break them. Get these today and enjoy the summer!
4. FEETCITY Unisex Babies Pool Shoes
If your baby/toddler is like mine, then you know the pain of them wanting to be carried at the pool, beach, or anywhere they have to go barefoot. Mine would scream and cry because their little feet would burn up.
These cute shoes are a must-have for those outings and frankly are a great summer all-over shoe. They are fast-drying, nonslip, and super lightweight. Suitable for kids up to 30 months.
5. JOTO 4 Pack Beach Mesh Bag Seashell Bag Shell Bags for Kids Shell Collecting
These mesh beach bags are a must on a beach trip. We have jars upon jars of shells at our house. Along with the shells and sea glass, we also used to bring a ton of sands home with us.
These bags were a life changer. The sand just comes right out while your precious little one collects beach treasures. No more vacuuming for hours after a trip to the beach! Comes in a pack of four, so super for a large family like ours.
I don’t know about you, but my kids were always super sweaty in the stroller and in the car seat. Every time I took them out, they were soaked and uncomfortable. Until I found this product. It is amazing!!!
You can hook it onto anything to keep your little one cool. And it has adjustable arms to make sure you can position it right on the kiddo.
All I hear all summer long is “can I get that,” “can so and so come over,” “can we go out to ice cream,” and a lot of other requests. Well, these cards will kill two birds with one stone as you can make a goal for your child while also encouraging good behavior.
Just sit down and decide what the goal is and then punch the card when the child does what they are supposed to. Once the card is complete, they can get their reward. And trust me no better way to get your little one to listen or do the right thing than to do some positive reinforcement.
8. Munchkin Brica Fold N' Go Travel Bassinet
We love to travel as much as possible. I have found over the years it is just easier to bring this bassinet than it is to try to find a crib or playpen. It is so convenient to be able to put your child down without worries.
This travel bassinet is super compact and has a mesh covering for those outside trips where you would still like your little one to take a nap, or even just to rest.
All four of my kids are obsessed with the pool and diving to get these toys. I love that this set is brightly colored and has so many pieces. It keeps them occupied for a super long time.
No pool, no problem, you can use them in the bath. Practice putting your head under and getting the toys.
10. Obuby Walkie Talkies for Kids 22 Channels 2 Way Radio
When they are bored, send them outside! Surprise them with these walkie-talkies and send them on an adventure. You can give them all there or keep one for yourself to check up on them.
I love these as they have great reception, 22 channels, and a built-in flashlight for the evening adventure. Your kids will have hours of fun with these.
