Summer Survival Guide for Parents: Keep Your Baby Safe, Happy, and Entertained

Summer with Baby: Safety & Smiles Made Easy

Summer is a season full of sunshine, adventure, and memory-making but for parents of infants, it also means staying on top of heat safety, travel prep, and endless attempts to keep baby calm and content. At Malarkey Kids, we’re here to make your summer easier with thoughtfully designed baby gear that helps with teething, drooling, and on-the-go play.

Whether you're heading to the beach, visiting family, or spending afternoons in the backyard, here’s how to keep your baby safe, cool, and entertained all summer long.


1. Stay Cool with Breathable Fabrics and Shade

Babies can’t regulate their body temperature as well as adults, so it’s crucial to keep them cool. Dress them in lightweight, breathable clothing and always use a sunshade or umbrella when outdoors. Don’t forget the sunscreen for babies over 6 months, and opt for a wide-brimmed hat to protect that precious face.

Tip: Pack a damp muslin cloth or use a cooling towel to gently wipe baby’s arms and legs during hot outings.


2. Beat the Teething Blues

Warm weather can make teething even more uncomfortable for babies. Swollen gums + summer heat = cranky days (and nights). That’s where Malarkey Kids’ award-winning teething toys come in.

Our top summer picks:

  • Chew Cube® – Lightweight and easy to hold, this sensory rattle doubles as a teether and travel toy.

  • Munch Mitt® – The original teething mitt that stays on baby’s hand and keeps gums happy (and drool off everything else).

  • Teether Tether + Silicone Teether – Attach it to the stroller, car seat, or baby carrier for on-the-go soothing without the drop game.

👉 All of our teethers are made from food-grade silicone and are BPA-free, phthalate-free, and easy to clean.


3. Road Trip Ready: Baby Travel Essentials

Traveling with a baby this summer? Keep it simple by packing multifunctional toys and products that serve more than one purpose. Our Stack N Chew doubles as a toy and a teether, while the Munch-It Blanket is a cozy lovey with textured corners for soothing relief.

Parents love how our products don’t just entertain they offer real comfort and convenience, especially when routines go out the window.


4. Safe Sensory Play Anywhere

Sensory development doesn’t stop just because you’re out of your normal routine. Bring engaging toys like the Chew Cube to the beach mat, stroller walk, or grandma’s house. Its visual, tactile, and auditory stimulation is perfect for curious little minds.

Pro Tip: Keep a small bin in your diaper bag with a rotating selection of safe sensory toys to prevent overstimulation or boredom.


5. Clean and Go

Summer means sticky hands, sunscreen spills, and snacks galore. That’s why all our products are designed with easy cleaning in mind.

🧼 Most of our teethers are top-rack dishwasher safe or can be wiped down with warm, soapy water. Perfect for poolside, park, or patio play.
