I wanna kids uv protection suit

Hi,
Anyone know the cheapest place,online or in shops to buy a uv protection suit for my son,age 4?

Were going to Egypt for 2 weeks this summer and as he is so young and fair skinned I thought I'd be cautious and get one.

Anyone?
Thanks, Helen x
love my little man he is amazing :j

    I got 1 from Asda last year, early but might be worth a look? was only about £6 and worked on a trip down under.

    My son is also very fair, I have had loads of these in the past-sold them on ebay-also worth a try

    I would say go for a 2 piece with the zip in rather than the top and shorts, they are ment to be tight fitting, which means they take a bit of pull off! and mine have big heads!

    Good luck and have a lovly holidayj

    Boots, Woolworths, Adams and Mothercare all had them last year. My little boy will be three in March and last time we were on holiday (October) he was wearing age 3-4 so they do come up a little small and he is not that much bigger than he should be.

    Matalan too - but there's seem to come up small in my experience!
  • i got mine for the twins in next, they might be selling them now as the next directory has just come out, just check especially on the cheap ones that they actually do provide protection and dont just cover up,

    you can also buy sun protective t-shirts, sun hats etc

    might be worth you buying two incase he wants his wet one off as soon as he gets out the sea etc

  • I saw them for sale very cheap in adams a few days ago.
  • I spent a fortune on these for my 2 boys last year & they hardly wore them. When I did manage to get them into them they sat all day whining & tugging at the necks. The "1 application lasts 8 hours" sun tan lotions are so good now-a-days it wasn't worth further arguments trying to force them. Moral of the story, don't spend a fortune on them (silly mare here bought O'Neill) cos you may well be giving them to a charity shop on your return.
  • dont forget sunglasses aswell for your little one, these are worth paying for decent ones with the proper protection
