Summer is on the horizon, and it's time to get the kids ready for all the sunny days ahead. But there’s more to consider than just swimwear, sunglasses, and sandals. From long park days to weekend getaways, a few thoughtful essentials can make every adventure smoother, comfier, and more fun. Here’s your ultimate kid-approved checklist for a season full of play, exploring, and memory-making.

2. BOOKS
There’s nothing like a good book to spark imagination and calm the chaos. From sweet board books for babies to laugh-out-loud stories for bigger kids, summer is the perfect time to build a little library they’ll love. Whether it’s for winding down after a busy day, road trip reading, or rainy afternoon quiet time, books are a must-pack essential for a well-rounded summer.

3. Lightweight Layers
Hot days, cool mornings, and unpredictable breezes—summer calls for clothing that can do it all. Breathable, mix-and-match pieces make getting dressed simple and comfortable, whether they’re running through sprinklers or heading out for dinner. Think cotton tees, airy dresses, soft shorts, and light outer layers that are easy to throw on or take off as the day shifts.

When you're out and about with a little one, the right gear is everything. Portable strollers, travel-ready high chairs, and well-packed diaper bags can turn a chaotic day into a smooth one. Whether you’re planning a road trip or just tackling errands, having the essentials within reach makes summer with baby feel a lot more doable.
