Precautions

Because on holiday, children are out all the time, in the garden , the park or the beach . And above all, protect their fragile skin from the sun . Not only by putting them in the shade, "a false security", according to the dermatos. The umbrella is not enough: even in the shade, the sun and water reflect UV at 30%. (Skin cancers in adulthood are related to the number and extent of sunburn in childhood.) So, only one solution: sunscreen, index 50, specially designed for them we apply every 2 hours, and the hat !

They can not be let loose

At the sea or in the villa with swimming pool, we literally stuck to his toddler and we have the eye. A little nothing, a bird, another child and we false company at the risk of getting lost in the crowd of the beach or to set foot in the water without our knowledge. Vigilance pays: drownings of children under 6 years have halved in the last 10 years thanks to awareness campaigns. * With a toddler, nothing better than a mini-pool .

We simplify the organization

... And traveling on vacation by choosing light equipment, foldable and small size. Manufacturers compete for ingenuity in this field. A retractable stroller and some clever nomadic toys are welcome. They will transform any space into a playground, at the beach or on the lawn. And they will deceive the boredom in the queue of the airport.

We choose the right outdoor games

For the intrepid, there is for example this funny bomb with soft water that happens from hand to hand like a balloon and which suddenly explodes in splashing you thanks to its random timer.

And for the beach architect's patients, the shovel-digger helps dig and grab the sand. His arm is provided with a clamp that opens and closes, like a sugar clip.
