We’ve put together this handy guide to help our mummies and daddies to enjoy National Picnic Month… Here’s what you’re going to need!
A Comfy & Lightweight Picnic Chair
These are a great investment for Summer – ideal for picnics as they’re lightweight and will fit easily in the car boot.

The Best Ways To Keep a Baby Shaded During a Summer Picnic
One of the biggest worries our mummies and daddies have over the summer is their baby burning or becoming overheated.
This can be overcome with a good sun hat, a shelter for when the sun is very intense, and if your little one will be spending time in their pram napping, we really rate the Snoozeshade. Don’t worry – it is designed to be air permeable and allow proper air flow, to keep baby cool and getting enough air.

Find the LittleLife Compact Beach Shelter here*.
We hope this has helped our mummies & daddies to plan the PERFECT family picnic! Is there anything you’d add to our list? Let us know in the comments.
