More details
A guide for 30 °C: a toddler (1–3 years) can wear t-shirt, shorts. It assumes an ordinary walk with no rain and no strong wind. For a baby under three months: vest bodysuit, sun hat. For a child under one: vest bodysuit, sun hat. Children aged 3–6 move more, so this is enough: t-shirt, shorts.
If it drops to 25 °C, add: sun hat, sunglasses. If it rains, put on: raincoat, wellies. In bright sun, add: sun hat, sunglasses. Put children’s sun cream on exposed skin.
In air-conditioned rooms and cars, keep a light top at hand: the drop in temperature is noticeable. Light colours reflect the sun better than dark ones and keep a child cooler. Offer water often during a walk, even if your child does not ask for it. After a walk, wash off sweat and sunscreen and change into dry clothes.
Feel the back of the neck: warm, dry skin means the layers are right. This is a guide, not medical advice.
