August and back to school may be right around the corner, but the summer heat is on! Here in Southern California, the heat sometimes stays with us through October (every year around Halloween time, I hope that evening will be cool and fall-like, not 90 degrees). I always find it odd that stores have sweaters and jackets out when it's the hottest part of summer; hot-weather gear seems to be gone from the shelves by May.

Babies have gentler skin that needs special protection from the sun. Some smart practices include putting a sun hat on your baby when outdoors, using baby-safe sunscreen and getting your tot used to sunglasses as early as possible. (If you are one of those lucky parents whose baby/toddler does not mind wearing sunglasses, consider yourself blessed!) 

Stroller umbrellas are a great way to protect baby from too many rays. The universal clamp on these umbrellas fits most strollers and joggers, and a 180-degree pivot offers maximum maneuverability. The umbrellas provide SPF 50 and are water repellant. They are available in a variety of solid colors as well as fun prints such as sock monkeys, retro jungle and rocket dots.
