    Mr 3 and Miss 6 months will need some new sunscreen this coming summer as we are already spending so many days outside playing on our new trampoline. Too many options on the market it is hard to choose which to do.

    We would love to trial this as I’m looking for a new sunscreen to use on my 5yr old who has sensitive skin and has had reactions to other sunscreens in the past. I’d use this for my 2 and 1 ye old also. 50+ is ideal especially with summers getting hotter!

  3. jeniplatt 16/10/2019 at 12:31 pm

    this would be brilliant not only for my children but for my home based care children as am very aware of keeping their skins protected. would love to trial this please

    I love summer but feel so conscious with my little ones skin!! This would be an amazing addition to our beach bag! I’d check in with my doctor to see if it can used on my second bubs skin who will soon be 3 months. My 3 year old loves being outdoors and I am always keen to use natural products for her skin.

  5. essycrtr 16/10/2019 at 11:22 am

    Yes please we have just noted that we are needing to pop sunblock in the bag when we are out now! My little girl has super sensitive skin so have been looking for a nice gentle one for her! But would make use with both kids of course!

  6. lovejoy900 16/10/2019 at 10:06 am

    We would love to try this with our 2.5 year old, I have tried this brand before and thought it was great and it had a lovely smell to it. But would be very interested in this one as it is for sensitive skin with 50+ ..BONUS !!

  7. aslater 16/10/2019 at 9:51 am

    All of my children suffer from sensitve skin, my middle child has had reations to most sunscreens, we have only found one that he doesnt react to., so it would be amazing to see if this product will work for him.

  8. Susanmoka 16/10/2019 at 9:46 am

    Would love to try for my children especially my 6 month old and 6 year old who have sensitive skin

  9. Stef Chapman 16/10/2019 at 8:33 am

    I would love to try this sensitive sunblock on my 2 & 4 year old. I really like the banana boat brand and find it quite hard finding a good sensitive sunblock to use on my kids!

  10. LAlexander 16/10/2019 at 8:01 am

    2 hour water resistance is super appealing with a wriggly 21month old who loves the water!

  11. Mummummum 16/10/2019 at 7:57 am

    With three children 10,7,3, this would be great to trial especially with the water resistant side. We have two sensitive skin children so would love to find something they can use

  12. Susanbsheldon 16/10/2019 at 7:13 am

    I would love to try this on my 2 and 4 year old boys who have pale skin and love to play outside!

  13. Taliez 16/10/2019 at 7:00 am

    Would love to trial this with my rural living kids! They’re 7, 4 and nearly 6months and how sun is very harsh! So it’s be put to the test with these kids! Great for school and daycare too!

  14. My3girls 16/10/2019 at 5:01 am

    Hi I’d love to try this on my youngest daughter, she has sensitive skin and has reacted to other sunscreens in the past. Love that this is designed for sensitive kids skin

  15. mummy2sirisxarkive 15/10/2019 at 11:11 pm

    Me and my 2 boys aged 2 and 5 would love to review this as with having sensitive skin looking for a sunblock that protects and also doesn’t irritate our skins are the number 1 summer day need for our adventurous household! Thank you for the opportunity 😊

  16. Mimisheen 15/10/2019 at 10:53 pm

    Me and my kids have supet sensitive skin and sun burn prone.
    I have got blemishes and pigmentation on my face since I came to NZ. I would definitely love to try this product for me and my kids.

    • Larrissa15 16/10/2019 at 12:54 am

      My 2 year old has sensitive skin and eczema and i would love to see how this goes for him. My 4 year olds skin isnt sensitive but id like a good quality sunscreen to trial for both of them since we live in the very hot and sunny hawkes bay.

    • amba27 16/10/2019 at 12:57 am

      I have heard good things about banana boat and my son has sensitive skin so this would be good to try always looking for a great sun screen, that doesn’t upset his skin.

    • Shanz24 17/10/2019 at 5:08 pm

      This would be a great product to trial. My daughter has 3rd degree burns on her left shoulder from an accident 7 years ago and finding the right sunscreen since has been a struggle ever since. We like to try get out n about most weekends but being able to get out in the actual sun would be fantastic

  17. Budnipz 15/10/2019 at 10:35 pm

    I would love this to trial for my daughters as they are both quite fair skinned, also my 3 year old has a reaction to a lot of sunscreen (and other products)
    We spend a lot of time outside whether it is pottering around the garden, slip and sliding, swings or jumping on the tramp to going to the beach/lakes, going for walks or playing at the park

  18. kme 15/10/2019 at 9:49 pm

    Would love to try this on our Little Miss 2.5 year old who has very sensitive skin, but living by the beach sunscreen is a necessity and the 2 hour water resistant feature would help with her in and out of the sea

  19. freulalu 15/10/2019 at 9:36 pm

    Would love to trial this on my 7-yr-old who usually has a reaction to other sunscreen he’s used. He can only tolerate a little amount for a few hours on the most kid-friendly one so there’s a need to top up often and not a lot of peace of mind for me. With summer approaching, he’s very excited to spend more time at our local beach and if this sunscreen suits him I’m sure he’ll enjoy it even more 🙂

  20. Ashleyroberts 15/10/2019 at 9:36 pm

    Would love to try this for my almost 3 year old she has senstive skin, she loves putting sun screen on herself now

  21. celia.zhang08@hotmail.com 15/10/2019 at 8:32 pm

    With summer coming we would love to try this for our 1 year old and 3 year old who both have sensitive skin.

  22. debbiecreighton 15/10/2019 at 8:32 pm

    mmm this looks interesting ! ive heard some bad reviews about banana boat over the years – so will be nice to see if theyve sorted it out – id love to give it a go i have a 4year old 9year old 11 year old and 13 year old at home so can cover a wide range of ages 🙂

  23. nessieok 15/10/2019 at 8:15 pm

    I would love to trial this product for my family! It sounds like it ticks every box possible when looking for a child/famly friendly sunblock! I look forward to being able to review this and buy it again before going away for the summer!

  24. Brooke17 15/10/2019 at 8:12 pm

    Would love to try this sunblock. My son has sensitive skin so it’s hard to find something that works for hin

  25. JolieS 15/10/2019 at 8:06 pm

    I have 1 child with pale skin that burns easily so always looking for a great sunblock (she’s be burnt trialling a few..) my other 3 don’t burn as easily but the eldest is particular with how it feels – would love to try this product. Especially for the hotter school days that we’re heading into

  26. Helenmarsden 15/10/2019 at 8:01 pm

    My family would love to try this as my two kids have senitive skin so I need something suitable for them.

  27. Kyrab 15/10/2019 at 7:52 pm

    I would love to trial this sunblock on my 5 & 10 year old as the weather is getting warmer and the sun is starting to make an appearance, I like that it is for sensitive skin and is 50+ which will stop my kids getting sunburnt and reacting to the ingredients in the sunblock!

  28. K_Sullivan1 15/10/2019 at 7:17 pm

    My two boys (5 and 2) both have pale and sensitive skin so this would be great to try!

  29. Sam203 15/10/2019 at 7:11 pm

    I would love to trail this with my children 2 and 7 who both have very pale sensitive skin, good quality high factor sunscreens are important for us and having sensitive skin we are always on the lookout for products that don’t cause irritation.

  30. qzha105 15/10/2019 at 7:10 pm

    Would love to trial this product for me and my family. We are all fair skinned and prone to getting sunburnt, but we are also sensitive to most sunscreens, so this is perfect.
