Best sunscreen for toddler?

[trees55]

I’m hoping to get away for a summer beach holiday in the UK this year and am wondering what sunscreen to buy for my toddler, who is currently 12 months.

I’m hoping to find something that is as easy as possible to apply and not sticky or greasy. I assume I will need factor 50 as my DC is very fair!

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I think how it is applied is more important than the brand. I found the roll on creams useful at that age. I think we had a boots and a child's farm one - both were good. You can also get stick ones (boots again I think) that are great when you're out, I always had one in my bag last summer.

This is the stick one. I found it less messy than a standard bottle.

I love love love the sticks for out and about top ups, but by volume they are way more expensive than any other type of spray/cream We use cream in a pump bottle format at home to apply before going out but we take a little stick with us, so if we forget/ran out of time/need a top up we can just rub the stick on quickly without too much difficulty or mess.
