Staying safe in the sun

Ways to keep your family safe:


  • Keep babies younger than 6 months out of direct sunlight. Find shade under a tree, an umbrella, or the stroller canopy.

  • When possible, dress yourself and your children in cool, comfortable clothing that covers the body, such as lightweight cotton pants, long-sleeved shirts, and hats.

  • Select clothes made with a tight weave; they protect better than clothes with a looser weave. If you're not sure how tight a fabric's weave is, hold it up to see how much light shines through. The less light, the better. Or you can look for protective clothing labeled with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF).

  • Wear a hat with an all-around 3-inch brim to shield the face, ears, and back of the neck.

  • Limit your sun exposure between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm when UV rays are strongest.

  • Wear sunglasses with at least 99% UV protection. Look for youth-sized sunglasses with UV protection for your child.

  • Use sunscreen.

  • Make sure everyone in your family knows how to protect his or her skin and eyes. Remember to set a good example by practicing sun safety yourself.
