How to Choose Clothes for Toddlers – Holidaying with a toddler in the UK

If your holiday is UK based you want to make sure that you have enough changes of outfits to cope with all kinds of weather – even in the height of summer we can see thunderous storms that bring torrential downpours and humidity.

In general terms if you are taking a toddler on holiday you are looking at taking at least four changes of clothes a day if not more to cope with all the tantrums and accidents of the day.

Make sure that you have numerous bibs in your toddler’s suitcase including disposables just in case you run out of the ‘real’ ones.

Take at least three swimwear outfits with UV protection to give you some flexibility should you decide it’s a great idea to go in the sea, the hotel pool, or paddling pool. Accompanying the swimwear should be a great sunhat just in case we’re hit with a heatwave.

When you go on an outdoor style holiday take a waterproof all-in-one too. Togz have great all in one waterproof coats and trousers that are quick drying. Togz has different styles of outerwear – in winter Togz sell all in ones with fleecy lining and in summer they sell all in ones with no lining to take account of the warmer weather.

And take some wellies as well just to cope if your toddler finds some puddles to jump in. It is advisable to take different styles of shoe as well – canvas shoes are great accompanied with open sandals and watershoes like Acquashoes or Shorefeet neoprene shoes.

Make sure you take spare socks or tights as they’re generally the first things that need replacing.
