Absolutely Adorable Infant Swimwear:
Top Picks for 2010

Summer has arrived, and you're itching to breakout the infant swimwear and introduce your baby to the wonders of the outdoors. Whoa! Stop that spending wave! Before you break out the Visa, consider this year's four best boutiques for infant bathing suits and trunks.

These boutiques offer unique, adorable, and even affordable baby swimsuits and board shorts guaranteed to last through oceans of sandboxes. It's a list that's sure to please everyone (including whoever watches the purse strings!).

Why do I choose to shop for my family's swimwear online? Convenience. Pure and simple.

"I simply can't understand
Why swimsuits are in such demand. They're soggy and damp, Bind like a clamp, and hold about three pounds of sand!"

~ D.R. Benson

I'm pretty gosh-darn busy these days. Naps...work...school...meals...sheesh! The "pick up new swimsuits" note on the fridge gets pretty annoying. It seems to sit there for weeks as my children get antsy.

By ordering our swimwear online, I elminate that pesky post-it, and put my older children's fears of no swimming all summer to rest.

Best thing, is that I don't have to try to squeeze in a 15-minute "stop" at Target. I hop online and browse through my favorite online boutiques and find the perfect suit. Box checked. Task complete. I'm in heaven.

Tuga Sunwear

When I say "fun in the sun" what do you think of? Does your forehead furrow? Do you immediately recall the location of the SPF 30 sunscreen? Then you need to consider infant swimwear that covers everything. Why stress about sunscreen washing away, or sensitive skin reacting?

Tuga Sunwear is the premier place to purchase UV protective infant swimwear (or family swimwear, for that matter - they even have swimwear for dogs!).

They have pretty much anything you could want. 1-piece suits, 2-piece suits, 3-piece suits, beach dresses, hats, shoes, cover ups...it's a one-stop shop. The lightweight nylon/lycra material is comfortable to wear and dries quickly. All their swimwear is UV Protective with a UPF 50+ rating.

Dimples and Dandelions

Dimples and Dandelions carries the some absolutely adorable collections of girlish infant bathing suits. They are also the cutest (in my opinion). Designers like Kate Mack and the Artisan's Collection make these completely unique and absolutely adorable. Besides adorable infant bathing suits, they also carry comfortable and easy-wear sandals.

Although they do have some dashing summer outfits for your little dude, they only have swimsuits for little ladies.

Here's my friendly caveat: Although I love the clothing here, I must warn you: Budget Beware! These items, although stunningly beautiful, are not necessarily cheap. If money is tight right now, try looking at Bargain Children's Clothing instead.

Bargain Children's Clothing

Bargain Children's Clothing is one of the hidden gems of the Internet. They have beautiful clothing sets, for cents on the dollar. It's outlet prices in the comfort of your living room. Nice.

Most prices are 50-70% off the regular list price, with many under the $10 mark. And I'll even let you in on a little secret. Use coupon code XFRSHP5X and if you spend more than $50, you can get free ground shipping. (So you might as well stock up for fall or buy extra for gifts and avoid the shipping.)

Visit their collection of infant swimwear for girls, or browse through their baby boy trunks.

The Children's Place

Always a favorite, The Children's Place is always running some special or sale. In fact, I often find their online sales and promotions are better than their in-store offers (even considering the shipping).

Besides affordable adorable clothing, you can search for stunning swimsuits for your daughter or surf-worthy trunks for your son. Or, you can check for coupon codes before you start to browse around.

Preventing Diaper Disasters

To avoid Caddyshack moments in the pool, always put your baby in a swim diaper. There are basically two choices in preventing floating unpleasantries:
  • Purchase disposable swim diapers.
  • Purchase a re-usable swim diaper. If you size them right, these can be a real blessing. Besides being cheaper than disposables, when on vacation, you only have to pack 1 or 2, rather than find room for a whole package!

Like everything else in the world of parenting, outdoor fun has to be balanced with safe responsibility.

On one hand, you have the excitement of choosing the infant swimwear (or trunks), setting up the toys and grabbing the camera for some memory-making. On the other, you have the responsibility of making sure your infant will be as safe outdoors as she is in.

Don't miss these other two informative articles on how to keep your baby safe all summer long.
