Sun Bum Kids SPF 50 Clear Sunscreen Face Stick

Summer might be almost halfway over but we're only just figuring out which sunscreens our kids will actually allow on their faces and bodies. This one has proven a winner.

"We've been trying all the Sun Bum products, and this stick has made everything so much easier. My daughter gets to do her face and I can do legs and arms with Sun Bum lotion without any fights. She really likes applying it herself. She's very picky about sunscreen, so this has been a giant win." - Megan Sweeney, Managing Editor & Head of Brand

Cerave AM Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30

Adding a layer of sunscreen on your face as you go out the door isn't always ideal, particularly if you've just applied makeup. We love this Cerave moisturizer with SPF 30 because it moisturizes and protects and is loaded with gentle but active ingredients. Hyaluronic acid and ceramides increase the moisture in your skin while fighting wrinkles and niacinamide makes skin stronger and brighter while reducing the look of pores.

Nanit Pro Camera

It looks like a sleek, modern floor lamp, but it's actually a high-powered baby monitor camera. Connect it with the Nanit app and check on your baby any time you like. It can be adjusted to four different heights allowing it to grow with your baby from bassinet to crib to toddler bed.

Rose Boreal Jasper T-Shirt

Finding easy outfits that look great and more interesting than a basic tee and jeans is tough. Especially clothes that can go to the park or out to dinner. This top from Canadian brand Rose Boreal is made of cotton and Tencel.

"I love that this top can be worn two ways—with the tie in the front or the back. It looks great with leggings or athletic shorts and with trousers and sandals. This will become a wardrobe staple." - Vanessa Grant, Executive Editor

GUM Crayola Twistables Kids Flossers with Fluoride

Flossing is a struggle for the best of us, but kids in particular have a hard time with it. These flavoured flossers make it easy and even fun. And with added fluoride, your kid is getting cavity-fighting ingredients where they really matter—between teeth where cavities often start.

Diaper Genie Platinum Pail

Diaper Genie is already a newborn must-have, but their new model ups the ante. It's made with durable stainless steel and comes in nursery-friendly colours lily white, sage green, glacial blue and stone grey. It's 27 inches high and has a wide opening. Plus its refill can hold up to 846 diapers and could last five months.
