Taking your little ones to the beach can be a wonderful experience, but have you ever stopped to consider if their beach towels are really safe? At By The Dunes, we believe in creating beach essentials that make family beach days stress-free, and that includes ensuring your kids are around water in towels that prioritize their safety. Let's dive into why your kids' beach towels may not be as safe as you think and what you should look for when choosing the best beach towels for your family.
Not All Beach Towels Are Created Equal
Many parents unknowingly buy towels that might not provide adequate protection or comfort for their children. Standard towels from big retailers like Kmart are often made with cheaper materials that don’t offer the durability, absorbency, or protection your child needs at the beach. While they may look cute and come at a budget-friendly price, these towels can fall short in keeping your child safe from the sun and water.
Jumpsuit Towels: More Than Just Cute
Jumpsuit Towels for kids are more than just an adorable accessory. They serve a practical purpose—especially when designed with care. Our Jumpsuit Towels and Towel-wear are made with a thicker terry toweling fabric that not only absorbs water quickly but also offers sun protection, particularly for delicate areas like the head and shoulders. With a hood to dry their hair and shield them from the sun, your child stays comfortable and safe long after they’ve left the water.
Why Kmart Towels Might Not Be the Best Choice
As tempting as it may be to grab those low-priced towels off the shelf, you might be sacrificing safety and quality. Many towels from large chain stores are made with synthetic materials or thin cotton that doesn’t offer enough absorbency or sun protection. Poor-quality towels can take too long to dry, leaving your child cold and uncomfortable, which isn’t ideal for a fun beach day. Worse, they may not be durable enough to withstand regular use, leading to fraying edges or thinning fabric after just a few washes.
When it comes to Kid's Hooded Towels, you want to make sure you're investing in something that not only lasts but also protects your little ones. That’s why we use only organic Terry Cotton blends to create durable, fast-drying, and sun-safe towels that stand up to the challenges of an active beach day.
Baby Beach Towels Need Special Care
If you’re heading to the beach with a baby, standard towels just won’t cut it. Baby Romper Towels should be soft on their sensitive skin, absorbent enough to dry them quickly, and large enough to wrap them up snugly. Many store-bought towels don’t offer this balance. Our Baby Jumpsuit Towels , Baby Romper Towels & Kid's Jumpsuit Towel's in size 1 (6-18 months) provide the perfect solution—our towels are designed to cover your baby from head to knee, keeping them warm and dry in a matter of seconds. Plus, the biodegradable, eco-friendly Tencel & organic cotton blend means no irritation to their delicate skin.
Water Safety & Sun Safety Are Key
When choosing beach towels for your children, water safety and sun safety should be top of mind. Wet skin and cold breezes can quickly lead to chills, while prolonged exposure to the sun can cause burns. A good-quality Hooded beach towel helps avoid both by keeping your child dry and shielding their skin from harmful UV rays.
At By The Dunes, our towels are designed to dry quickly, so your child doesn’t stay wet for long, reducing the risk of getting cold. Plus, the built-in hood offers extra sun protection for those sensitive areas often missed by sunscreen. Always opt for towels that offer this level of safety and convenience when you’re planning a day at the beach. They are also designed as a No-Trip towel, so your little one doesn't have anything hanging at their feet causing them to trip, and the jumpsuit design means their hands-free so they have hands out to hold your hand when crossing the road or just to keep playing at the beach or park!
Invest in Towels That Make Beach Days Easier
When you’re preparing for a family day at the beach, you’ve got enough to think about—packing bags, making sure you’ve got sunscreen, and keeping an eye on your little ones near the water. Why add to the stress by worrying if your towel will do its job?
By investing in quality kids' beach towels like our Jumpsuit Towels you’re ensuring that your family stays safe, dry, and comfortable all day. Not only are our towels designed for maximum absorbency and UV protection, but they also come in bright, fun colors like Ocean Blue, Sunrise, Mauve and Lime, making it easy to spot your child in a crowded beach setting.
