☀️ 5 Things to Pack Before Summer Ends (and One to Keep Year-Round)

Summer's not over yet—and neither is the fun. Whether you’re planning one last trip or just savoring the season, this is your late-summer checklist for baby and toddler must-haves.

And spoiler alert: some of these come in handy all year long.

🕶 1. Baby & Toddler Sunglasses

Those rays are still strong in August! Protect sensitive little eyes with 100% UVA/UVB-blocking sunglasses that actually stay put.

Bonus: BANZ® sunglasses are wrap-around and adjustable, which makes them perfect for back-to-school outdoor play too.

👒 2. UPF 50+ Sun Hats

Shade is a style—and a safety feature. Our wide-brimmed sun hats block 98% of UV rays and stay secure even on breezy beach days or splash pad adventures.

💧 3. Insulated Drinkware

Hydration is key—especially during August heat waves. BANZ® drinkware is made for little hands, and keeps water cool even on the go.

Parents say they love the straw-style lids and leak-proof design.
