Soltan Kids Once 3hr Waterplay Spray SPF50+

This sunscreen has a 5 star UVA rating, which is the highest rating available, giving maximum protection. It is especially designed for water resistance, so is great when your kids are in a swimming pool or the sea.

It's important to note that bathing or showering will remove the product, and sunscreen needs to be applied 15 minutes before your child goes in the sun and reapplied regularly, especially after towel drying.

Soltan has a great range of family sunscreen, and we included 2 in our guide to the best sunscreens for kids.

This highchair, which can be used from birth up until your child is 3 years old, comes with a double-sided seasonal baby cushion which is designed to keep your baby cool in the summer and warm in the winter months.

The baby support cushion can be removed when your child gets bigger: our parent testers really liked that you don’t need to buy any additional extras for the different stages of your child’s development. Our testers also found the versatility of the chair very useful — it has 3 reclining options, 8 seat height positions, an adjustable footrest and legrest, as well as a removable tray and toy bar.
