Kids love being outside—whether they’re running around in the park, riding bikes, or building sandcastles at the beach. But spending time in the sun comes with risks.

Harmful UV rays can cause sunburn, speed up skin ageing, and increase the chances of skin cancer later in life. Protecting kids from the sun isn’t just about comfort—it’s about keeping them safe and healthy.

Why Sun Protection Matters for Kids

Children’s skin is more delicate than adults, making it more vulnerable to UV damage. Studies show that too much sun exposure in childhood increases the risk of developing skin cancer later in life. Kids’ eyes are also more sensitive to bright sunlight, which can contribute to vision problems later in life.

Sunburn isn’t just a short-term discomfort—it can cause long-term damage. Dealing with red, painful skin is not fun, and peeling after a bad sunburn is just the beginning. Teaching kids sun safety early helps them develop habits that will protect them for years to come.

How Jojo Cool Hats and Sunglasses Keep Kids Safe

Jojo makes it easier to keep kids protected without sacrificing style. Here’s how our cool hats for kids and sunglasses help:

1. UPF-Rated Cool Hats for Kids

Jojo’s cool hats for kids are made with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) fabric, which helps block harmful UV rays. The wide brims provide extra shade, covering their face, ears, and neck. Made from breathable, lightweight materials, these hats keep kids cool while protecting their skin.

Our hats come in fun colours and trendy designs, so kids want to wear them. Whether they’re heading to a picnic, a playdate, or a day at the beach, Jojo’s cool hats keep them stylish and safe.

2. UV-Blocking Sunglasses for Eye Protection

Unlike regular shades, Jojo’s sunglasses have UV400 lenses, which block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. This protects kids’ eyes from damage that can lead to cataracts and other vision problems later in life.

More Tips to Keep Kids Sun-Safe

Even with Jojo’s cool hats and sunglasses, extra precautions can help keep kids safe in the sun:

• Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on exposed skin, and reapply every two hours, especially if swimming or sweating.
• Encourage kids to take shade breaks during peak sun hours (10 AM - 4 PM) when UV rays are the strongest.
• Dress them in lightweight, long-sleeved clothing to provide additional protection.
• Keep them hydrated by drinking plenty of water, especially on hot days.
• Set an example—when parents prioritise sun safety, kids are more likely to follow suit.
