More details
At 80°F a toddler (1–3 years) is usually comfortable in: t-shirt, shorts, sun hat, sunglasses. This is a guide for a calm walk in dry weather without strong wind. A newborn under three months needs one layer more: bodysuit, sun hat. A baby under one: bodysuit, sun hat. A preschooler can go lighter: t-shirt, shorts, sun hat, sunglasses.
At 70°F the outfit gains: sneakers. When it warms up to 90°F, you can take off: sun hat, sunglasses. In the rain, bring: raincoat, rain boots. Apply kids’ sunscreen to exposed skin.
Plan walks for the morning or evening and stay in the shade around midday. After a walk, wash off sweat and sunscreen and change into dry clothes. In air-conditioned rooms and cars, keep a light top at hand: the drop in temperature is noticeable. Leave a gap under the stroller sunshade: a dense cover traps hot air inside.
The best guide is how your child feels: a warm, dry neck. These tips do not replace your pediatrician’s advice.
