The Baby Giraffe Monokini Swimsuit by Le Top is a fun swimsuit for little ones. The giraffe applique is cute but also serves to keep this two-piece in one piece. I remember my little girl playing at the beach and inevitably having to pull her swimsuit up or down, depending on which way it was slipping. This suit by Le Top is also fully lined with 100% nylon, the shell is made from 92% cotton and 8% spandex (a little needed give and take).

Sizes range from 12 mos to 4T. It can be purchased for $24.49 at SophiasStyle.com.

Besides being completely darling, these sunsuits contain UPF 50+, the highest level of sun protection AND the bottoms have built-in swim diapers. Usually I’m a disposable diaper mom but at the beach, disposable is soggy and messy PLUS you get to be environmentally responsible & friendly!

The Sun Smarties Tankinis & Swim Diaper is made of quick-drying nylon/spandex that’s softer and silkier than other UPF fabrics and comes in a variety of sizes. Price: $12.99 at onestepahead.com.

With swim season upon us and a not quite potty trained two year old, I’m on the lookout for an environmentally-friendly alternative to disposable swim diapers which, in my opinion, don’t seem to work very well anyway. This may well be the most beautiful swim diaper I have ever seen.

Made by Luna Luna Copenhagen, it is absorbent, reusable, and decorated with beautiful flowers. I’m a little afraid that my daughter wouldn’t leave those flowers alone, but the pool may be a big enough distraction. This piece usually retails for $36, but you can buy one on sale now for $25 at itsaragdollslife.com.
