Summer Safety Must-Haves for Children
I am so ready for the summer months and the nice hot weather. I am so over this whole snowing in April thing that has been going on. I love the summer because of all the fun things we do and road trips that take. With summer zooming in at full speed, summer sun & fun is on the horizon! Here is a list with the latest summer safety must–haves for children that are essentials as you go about your summer days.
BugBand Be Prepared Kit
My boys can’t stand mosquito bites! Well honestly I have never met anyone who likes mosquito bites. 🙂 So we use BugBand to help us keep mosquitos away. When playing out late we love these BugBand bands that glow in the dark! This kit has what you need.
BugBand Insect Repellent Wristbands and BugBand Towelettes have been combined in a unique insect repellent kit, perfect for your child heading off to summer camp or enjoying outdoor activities! Licensed by the Boy Scouts of America through their prestigious “Be Prepared” Brand, BugBand has combined the long-lasting power of their Insect Repelling Wristbands with the potent heavy-duty protection of BugBand Towelettes in one kit. Perfect for weekend outings or summer camp, this DEET-Free Insect Repellent Kit has it all.

CUROXEN
The products I use on my boys are important to me. Which is why I like CUROXEN, this first aid ointment contains no synthetic antibiotics. So there’s no chance of causing antibiotic resistance. This is something that is very important to me. I also like the feel and consistency of this first aid ointment.
Cuts, scrapes and boo boos… with little ones, these are inevitable! Be prepared at all times by tucking CUROXEN into your first aid kit at home, or into your purse, diaper bag, or backpack while on-the-go! CUROXEN is a safe, organic, & natural wound cleaning product for your child’s cuts and scrapes that effectively kills bacteria. Providing a safer alternative to petrochemical and drug-based wound care that actually works, CUROXEN is made with just three ingredients you’ll recognize from nature, which include Olive Oil, Calendula, and Lavender Essential Oil. CUROXEN does NOT contain synthetic drugs, including antibiotics, petroleum-derived products, artificial chemicals, or silver.
For those who are careful about what we put into and onto our — and our children’s — bodies, CUROXEN’s ultrapure, ultrasafe formulation is a relief. All-natural and safe for adults, children and even pets, CUROXEN kills more than five times the amount of bacteria as its competitors.

BuddyPhones PLAY Headphones
It seems like my little guy always has a pair of headphones on. He loves to listen to audio books, music, movies etc. So of course I worry about how this affects his hearing. Thankfully, I came across BuddyPhones. They are soft, yet sturdy. They are perfectly suitable to use while listening to his favorite music, audio books etc. BuddyPhones will especially come in handy on our summer travels! These headphones are Bluetooth but they also come with a built-in Buddy system which is an audio splitter that allows multiple headphones to share one audio source. This is a godsend.
With summer on the horizon, playing is top of mind! The NEW BuddyPhones PLAY Headphones were created to encourage safe play so that little ones can play, explore and learn without parents having to worry about their hearing safety. BuddyPhones PLAY headphones have four distinct safe listening modes for different listening needs to minimize the risk of noise-induced hearing loss, including Toddler Mode, Kids Mode, Travel Mode, and StudyMode. Like all BuddyPhones, PLAY are extremely durable, made from strong, sturdy materials and designed to last. The foldable headband is made of specially calibrated polypropylene so it can be bent and pulled without snapping. They can be fully adjusted to different sizes and are tailored to fit kids comfortably with pillow-soft hypoallergenic ear cushions for maximum coziness.
Adding to the fun is an option for kids to share a single device by connecting up to four headphones with the BuddyCable sharing system. This sharing capability minimizes the need for multiple devices and encourages kids to play together. Each BuddyPhones PLAY also comes with an extensive set of illustrated colorful stickers that give kids the opportunity to decorate the headphones themselves, encouraging creativity. The optional travel kit includes a protective hard case with a water-resistant zipper and an airplane plug that makes the BuddyPhones easy to transport.

Thanks for the reminder to replenish our first aid kit for summer!
Great headphones – comfortable, versatile, and built to last! I can also really appreciate how important minimizing the risk of noise-induced hearing loss can be for not just children, but for everyone. Wish those headphones were available when I was younger, my hearing would be much better today, I’m sure.
These bug bands sound great, I definitely need to get some for my kids! The mosquitos definitely get really bad here, so whatever I can do to protect them.
I just can’t believe Summer is almost here. That bug repellent will be needed.
Do you use Curoxen on yourself or just your children? Is it effective for all scrapes and things like that? How long does it normally take a small scrape to heal using Curoxen? I’ve never heard of it, because my mom always used Neosporin on me.
There is the regular Curoxen and the one specially for kids. I have one of each. 🙂 It is effective for all scrapes, cuts, etc. Actually my dermatologist was the first to recommended the Curoxen, he said it was better than Neosporin. And gave me samples of both the adult and the kids one.
