The Toddler Short Sleeved Rash Vest is the perfect option to use instead of Sunscreen. Using Oneills U.P.F 50 materail it allows the Rash Vest to offer the same protection as factor 50 sun cream as long as it is on. Also as the Rash Vest is quick drying after jumping out of the pool they wont need to take it off. Always look for a Quality Brand when buying these rash vest as some cheaper discount brands do no offer the same level and quality of protection.
