Beach Dragons : UV Protection Swimwear for Children : Review & Giveaway

Posted on

34 Comments

Sun protection suit with UPF 50+. It is a super cool name and we loved it from the second we heard it but what we loved more was the gorgeous range of children's swim and beach wear that they have on their site. Sun protection suit with UPF 50+ was founded in 2012 by Jessica Dahlberg, a mother of three who decided to start her own business when she found just how difficult it was to find stylish UV protection beachwear for her children.

The sun has definitely had its hat on of late but finding a sun hat that the children can wear in the water has been a bit of a challenge for me, so when we were given the chance to review some of the gorgeous Sun protection suit with UPF 50+ swimwear, we jumped at the chance.

 Beach Dragons Pink

With two water babies in the family, they were both quick to jump into their new swimsuits (unfortunately the pool is not so happy for us to take photos, so stock images will have to do for now) and it was immediately apparent the difference in quality to many of the previous swimming costumes they have had.

The Butterfly Swimsuit (shown centre above)

UPF 50+ BLOCKS OUT 98% OF THE SUN'S UVA AND UVB RADIATION. 
FABRIC: 91% POLYAMIDE AND 9% ELASTANE 
INNER LINING: 100% POLYAMIDE

The design is both adorable and practical and always gets comments in the pool. At £38 it is certainly not the cheapest swimsuit on the market but you how can you put a price on the protection of your childs skin?

Blossom Bikini

UPF 50+ BLOCKS OUT 98% OF THE SUN'S UVA AND UVB RADIATION.
FABRIC: 91% POLYAMIDE AND 9% ELASTANE

This bikini is perfect for a savvy tween. It is fashionable enough to be cool but sensible enough to satisfy mum too. The adjustable halterneck means that it can grow with your little one and my daughter loves the striking blue colour .... because according to her, not everything needs to be pink! We chose the size 9-10 and she is an average 9 year old and it fits perfectly, so if your little one is a little taller than average, it may well do to order a larger size.

Sun Hat

One of my biggest grumbles over sun hats is that you have to pick a neutral colour, so that it matches everything! Not with a Sun protection suit with UPF 50+ hat though, they are reversible giving you twice the wear out of them, which ticks all the boxes for me.  The hat is lightweight without being flimsy and again has an UPF50+. These two-tone hats keep heads protected from the sun's harsh rays and we love that the baby size (6-24 months) even comes with tie strings to help it stay put.

All the Sun protection suit with UPF 50+ fabrics can be washed at 30 degrees and they have been in the wash a few times already in the past couple of weeks and there are no signs of the infamous "bobbling" on the swimsuits, as happens with many other brands. Sun protection suit with UPF 50+ recommend that you rinse it out after swimming but never ring or squeeze it as they may ruin its shape.

The Sun protection suit with UPF 50+ collection of products are all their own design, so they are not mass produced and available at every shop corner, which coupled with the exceptional quality demonstrates what you are getting for your money.

This together with the fact that all of the fabrics are tested and come with a UPF50+, which means that 98& of the sun's harmful UVA & UVB radiation is blocked out, means that you can have confidence every time they jump in the water.

We genuinely fell in love with the Sun protection suit with UPF 50+ brand , so we not only wanted to share it with you BUT give you the opportunity to win one Anchor sun protection suit in baby pink or blue (available sizes are 6-12 mths/1-2 yrs/2-3 yrs/3-4 yrs) and one sun hat too (available sizes 6-24 mths/2-5 yrs/5-9 yrs).
