In our summer vacation in Austria we’ve saw many families traveling with kids on bicycles. Kids sit in enclosed trolley attached to the parent’s bicycle.
Summer time is a great time for kids – no school, no lessons, no home works and so many free time to enjoy, to travel, to read, to play.
Swimming is one of the best things to do on summer. Fresh sea air, sea water give to the kids more power and health before new school year started on September.

How to protect a skin of children during the summer time.
During the summer period time parents should pay special attention on children’s skin care. Parents should teach children to take care of the skin protection from early age then in older age they will continue to do it. Sun-protection clothes and a cap are necessary accessories of summer..
First of all, in hot weather during the period from 12.00 till 15.00 children should be in a shade, or indoors. Even in hot cloudy weather it is necessary to protect a skin of children from the sun.
The clothes are the best protection against solar beams during the summer period; so you should choose it thoroughly. Choosing clothes for children about one year it is necessary to prefer long sleeves, panties, long dresses. Do not forget about a headdress. Cotton wear is the best sun protection. It is better to prefer color tones (red, green, yellow, orange, dark blue), rather than to the monophonic light. The solar beams pass through light tone (in particular white) in a large measure.
Undoubtedly summer is a time for water fun. Both adults and children like to swim and to sun. How to protect a skin of the child on a beach?
First, get for the child a bathing suit. Choosing a bathing suit for children, prefer enclosed one with UVF protection.
Secondly, allow playtime in water for the child at about 15-20 minutes. Then dry the child with a towel. Don’t rest him under direct solar beams only under an umbrella, or in shade. Always use a sun-protection cream for children.
