It's a nightmare trying to keep
toddlers (any child!)
safe in the sun. Even
clothes are not
protection enough when some
fabrics can be penetrated by the
sun's rays. So while we were on a trip with
Thomson Al Fresco near Lake Garda at the
Altomincio Family Parc we took an SPF50+
Poncho Towel from
Cuddledry.
Harriet, now 14 months, loved being in the
pool and it was great being able to pop the
Cuddledry Poncho over her head to
dry her off and feel
confident that she would be
protected from the sun.
The
first of their kind in the UK, the
Cuddledry Ponchos use patented
Rayosan™ technology which comes from Australia, where
extensive research has been done on the dangers of
skin cancer.The
Rayosan™ technology acts like a mirror, deflecting the harmful
UVA and UVB rays off the towel, instead of passing through the fabric and harming a
baby's delicate skin.
The
Cuddledry Poncho, suitable for children aged
one to three, is made using soft
brushed cotton to give snag-free towelling. They have
poppers under the arms which can be done up to create a
loose "sleeve" when worn, to help keep the
towel in place and make it
comfortable for its little owner. We found ours really
easy to put on and take off, a perfect
"throw on" towel for cover up for the beach, or
paddling pool. Olivia has also been using it after Harriet's
swimming classes and it still looks
as good as new.
Cuddledry Ponchos come in two colourful designs: an
aqua towel with turquoise edging and a
hammerhead shark embroidered on the front, and a
lilac towel with cherry edging and an embroidered
angelfish.
The
Cuddledry Poncho towels can be purchased from www.cuddledry.com and
cost £22.99.
