Perfect for a day at the beach. Love that it has a hood.

I bought this for my albino niece. Very cute and great UV protection. Obviously important in her case.

This is so cute. I bought the turtle with my son's name and i love it. I bought a swim diaper cover and towel from pottery barn kids and it all matches great cant wait for him to wear it. Im hoping to put him in it when we leave the pool so he can snuggle n2 a nap on the way home.

We love this little cover up! We purchased it in anticipation of the soon to be here swim season, here in El Paso, and have been using it in the meanwhile as a little jacket on our morning runs. It's been perfect for that as it's lightweight yet provides just the right amount of warmth. The only negative is that I had to stretch the neck a bit to get it over our 14 month old son's head. It stretched relatively easily though so that is now a non-issue.

This is the second one we have purchased from One Step Ahead. Our daughter loved her first one, but outgrew it. They are comfortable and easy to put over a swimsuit or you can pair them with shorts or pants for the cool evenings. Spend a little extra money for the monograming. Would recommend to anyone.

This is the second time I have purchased one of these products. This time I bought one for both of my kids. (The first time I bought I just had one.) got them both personalized with their names. These were great when we were at the beach for Easter and there was a stiff, cool breeze. The previously purchased one was great during the summer as they are excellent to throw on right after the pool, just to knock the chill off, plus the fabric is so soft, it almost is like the kids putting on a magic sleep tunic. The only drawback is that the non terry cloth material which I got this time can be a bit challenging to get over a non-cooperative toddlers head. I previously bought the terry cloth material, and given my druthers, that is the one I recommend.

I was extremely nervous about getting these because I was wanting them so bad, I did not read the reviews about size. However, when I got them, I was very satisfied. I would agree that they run small, but fortunately my 22 month old can not even fit in 18 month clothing, she is still wearing only 12 month, and my 5 year old is slender, so she is behind in size as well. So I lucked out that the 24 month and the size small 5/6 is bigger for my girls and they will be able to get at least two years out of it. They are very soft, and lightweight, but not too lightweight that when they get out of the pool or ocean they will not be warm. I like that they are UPF 50 because my family has melanomia in it heavily so I have to be extremely cautious with my girls fare skin when they are in the sun. I am in love with the quality of the personalization. This is a great product, and have considered having more made in bigger sizes just in case they are discontinued in the future.

I bought two of these for grandboys who are 18 months and 2 years old. I bought them 2 sizes too large, but I think 3 sizes up would have been fine, too. They look a little bit like caftans, are very easy to move around in, and are beyond cute. The embroidered name (yes, you can't hand it down, but when there are two kids - cousins, in this case- wearing almost the same thing, it's really useful, as well as being cute) came out beautifully and I asked them to choose their logo. The 18 month old had no idea, the 2 year old was very clear that he wanted a shark.

These are extremely useful, as well as being great looking - on a beach vacation we were popping them on the kids all the time, and the hood was nice when they had wet hair from swimming.

Great for swimming, beach & travel

Although we haven't used this cover-up yet, I can comment on my first impression. It seems to be very well made with a nice, durable fabric. The personalization was done well, too. This seems to be a quality product!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Kids Hoodie Cover-up Aqua 10:

Cute cover up. I bought a 2t and 3t for my 18 month daughter. The head openings were VERY tight and it was a struggle. Once we got it on, it fit perfect and was super cute. I paid extra for her name and a picture. I would suggest that. It really completed it. Also, I would buy at least a size bigger, if not two. The 3t fits perfect.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Kids Hoodie Cover-up Aqua 10:

Might be a good swim cover-up but we just use it as a lightweight hoodie. I purchased the white one so that I could dye it another color and it worked great. Quality seems good for price.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Kids Hoodie Cover-up Aqua 10:

I really like these cover-ups. I bought one for my daughter and son to use after swimming, and they work well. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't get an embroidered picture without putting my children's names on the cover-ups. I wanted the pictures, but not the names. Also, the necks are a tad tight but it's not a deal-breaker.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Kids Hoodie Cover-up Aqua 10:

Very fun bright cover up. It is not warm but great for a short walks from a beach or a pool. There was a mistake with personalization, but it was resolved very quickly. Great customer service!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Kids Hoodie Cover-up Aqua 10:

Adorable Cover-Up. I ordered the green and had it personalized with my grandson's name. The name is stitched in blue and it looks great against the green. Very easy to fit over his head. Great hoodie for afternoon and evening outings at the beach or park.

I bought these for my twin boys. One has some delay and needs really sturdy shoes, these foot the bill! They love them and their older brother was jealous, so I had to order a pair for him too! I thought he'd prefer a different brand but he wanted these. I will be buying these every summer!

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

My grandson (age 4 1/2) opened the package and immediately changed into the sandals. He wore them all afternoon with no rubbing or discomfort usually associated with new shoes. He doesn't want to wear any other shoes now!

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

My children have wide thick feet and finding any shoes that go on easily and fit comfortably is a challenge!! These shoes more than meet all our needs!! The price is amazing, too, for such a great shoe!!! Great multi purpose shoes and for outside families like ours, easy clean up is also essential!!

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

there are many straps so it was a little difficult to get on and off for my toddler

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

These sandals are good for the price but wish they were made of a more flexible (mesh-like) material. This would be better for outdoor/ water-based activities.

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

The only drawback to these sandals was that I had to send them back for bigger sizes for both my daughter (size toddler 9) and my niece (toddler 7), so order a size larger than what you think your child needs. Once we got sandals that fit both girls, they're great! My daughter has Red Skin Syndrome and is VERY sensitive to straps going across her ankles, and these padded straps meet her seal of approval! Very comfy and easy for her to put on and take off. Thanks for a great product One Step Ahead!

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

I love these sandals. We have bought these sandals for our children every summer as their feet grow and they are the best. They fit comfortably and while other sandals give kids blisters or need to be broken in these do not. They are also very durable. They are great for playing outdoors getting them wet and they even look great with dresses. My kids love them and wear them all the time. They are so durable they could be used for more than a year since they adjust so nicely.

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

My grandson where the shoes to school and out doors!

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

These are great little first sandals for a toddler! Our little guy loves wearing them so they must be very comfortable because he rarely wants to wear socks, let alone shoes! : )

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

My son has a somewhat wide foot, and these are wide enough. He appears comfortable in the sandal. We have not worn them much, so I am not sure how they will wear, but they appear durable enough.

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

I really like these sandals, and you really can't beat the price. My kids both have very wide feet, and these are very comfortable for them. My ONLY complaint is that the sole is very firm. I know some people prefer that, but I am a firm believer that soles of kids shoes should have some flexibility. That being said, I'm really comfortable letting my kids run around at the park with these sandals, because they are so sturdy. They use these sandals at the pool, then play at the park afterwards. It's a nice all around active sandal.

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

These sandals are perfect for use all spring and summer long. My son loves them. I love that they are very adjustable and convertible and washable. This is our second pair.

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

This is a great shoe, particularly for the price. Nicely constructed, durable and comfortable. The feature that takes them from a Sandal to a Slide is adorable but watch that the child doesn't remove the strap and hide it, like mine did!

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

Sandals were great for the our beach trip. They were perfect for all of activities. The sandals adjustment features were excellent. Sandals were easy to clean. Great fit for the sizing and our needs!

Comments about One Step Ahead Kids 2-in-1 Land And Water Sandals & Slides Brown 10 Toddler:

this product is good but im just not happy with the construction...the strap wont stick for a long time. overall...the the is good that's why i bought the same item again.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought this for my toddler to be able to carry her stuff to the beach. She loves it! She fills it with her beach toys and carries it down to the beach like a big girl. It is so bright & fun. She loves that it has her name on it so it's all hers.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Love this bag! We've had it for two years now and use it all the time, it is a perfect size for my three year olds suit, rash guard and change of clothes. (Or pjs and blanket for a short visit to grandmas.)It also dries super fast, i do turn it inside out overnight. Love it so much I just ordered one for my one year old daughter!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Cute and a great value....

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Love the shark and flower print. The only thing that I didn't like is the bag is hard to open because the straps are wide and stiff. Love the personalization and I use it to carry each childs things and hang it on the umbrella stroller handles. Nice and light.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought this after reading the positive reviews, but was sorely disappointed when my child came home from swimming class with a bag that was wet on the outside, thus showing that it is not actually waterproof as the description claims. I am wondering now if I am not using it correctly and whether I can return it. It's too bad because it's such a great idea.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought this bag in the middle of July for my 4 year old son to bring his swim trunks, rash guard, towel and hat to daycare.Less than 2 months later the lining has ripped on both sides and along the bottom. It is a very cute bag, I had it personalized and that turned out great but I am extremely disappointed in the quality. I bought one for my nephew as a gift and I hope he doesn't have the same issues!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Do not get this item personalized. The material is not suited for embroidery. I ordered 2 bags, one for each of my kids. One bag turned out just ok but the other looks horrible. The material gathered at each letter and it looks messy and worn.. I was very disappointed that One Step Ahead sent this item in this condition. Unfortunately, when I called to resolve the issue, I was told the bag was out of stock. So now one child has a bag and one does not.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Cute, adorable bag. Very useful, but I wish it was much larger.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I got one for my 3 year old and one for my 5 year old. It was great.... they carried their own towels and beach coverups. I didn't have to lug everything to the beach myself.
I am actually thinking about ordering one for myself. ... great for the pool too! Just the right size.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I purchased this bag for my daughters for camp. It is a great design, holds all their stuff, but as the weeks went on the bag started to fall apart. The inside lining ripped and the stitching on the pocket came undone. I had to resew the entire bag by mid-July and we still have the whole month of August to get through.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought this to carry to the beach for my 3yr old son and boyfriends 5yr old daughter, I thought it was a nice size for their towel, sun screen, and a change of clothes. Its not too big for them to carry on their own but comfortably held everything they needed for the afternoon at the beach. Its lightweight and both colors are really cute.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

These adorable bags are perfect for my two year old twin girls' summer camp. They have just enough room to hold their towels, bathing suit, swim diapers, change of clothes, etc. Durable material sure to stand up to daily use. Excellent value!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought the pink one for our daughter and the sharks one for our son. They have swim day twice a week at school and I was looking for a functional, yet cute swim bag to hold their wet items throughout the day once they were done swimming. This bag seemed thin, but it makes sense as it needed to be able to let the items dry. LOVE that you can personalize it, which makes it easy for the teachers at school!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I use this bag at the beach and at the pool. My three year old carries it himself and it's so easy to clean!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Great for transporting my 5 year old's swim lesson gear - towel, change of clothes & goggles. Love that it is water resistant and machine washable. Very cute as well. Only complaint is the sholder straps are a bit small and difficult to adjust.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

My 2 yr old can reek havoc on a pair of sunglasses. She can pull on these and they don't break or misshape. They are light weight so she keeps them on. They also are very clear and easy to clean. Her older sister wants some now! Great pair of sunglasses at the right price.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

Bought these so that our fourth child would have her own shades at the pool and outings. She loves them. For a two year old to want to wear something, they have to be comfortable! Our last pair, from my first child, who is now 14 are still in great condition, just a different size.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

I love these little sunglasses! I bought them for my almost two-year-old since she likes my expensive prescription sunglasses...and she happily made the swap! They have been stuffed into her beach bag, hidden under the couch, flung around the car and you can't even tell. She can put them on and take them off by herself and they don't poke her like those cheap plastic ones do. When she outgrows these, I'll get the bigger size!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

I bought these sunglasses for my 5 month old granddaughter, who will take her first trip to the beach this summer. Even if she decides to chew on the ear pieces, it's ok because they are rubber. I was so glad to find these.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

These are comfortable and lightweight so that my kids are actually willing to wear them.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

This was actually the second pair , as my son lost the first pair. I wish that these had come with a case however.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

I love these glasses. They are durable and seem like they can take a lot of abuse from my 18 month old. They fit him perfectly.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

This is a great product for a toddler! My daughter loves her sunglasses! They have held up against her "toddler ways" of pulling them every which way. The only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars was because we have only had them about a month and cannot say how they will hold up in the long run.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

At 3 years old our Grandson wears his everyday as he goes outside. We have purchased sunglasses from the Eye Doctor for 3 times the amount and these are the same style and UV coverage for such a GREAT price.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

I purchased these sunglasses for my 20-month-old daughter. These are the only sunglasses I have found that fit her giant head! (She is in the 90th percentile for head circumference). I also love that they can take a beating from a toddler and still maintain their form. She seems to tolerate them and they provide great sun protection.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

These were marked 5-7 years, but I had previously purchased the 2-4 year size and they both are the same exact size!!! Disappointed that my child won't be able to wear them now!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

I got a pair of these in each of the smaller sizes for my son because he has sensory issues and he loves sunglasses, but when he was really young, wouldn't wear the ones with the elastic strap because he couldn't stand the feeling. Being really light weight, he kept these on and LOVED them. He's 3 1/2 now and just outgrowing the middle size, so we're getting him a new pair and his 1 year old sister some in pink. They're durable - the first scratch on the lens happened after having them for nearly two years (and he's not gentle). The frames are really flexible, so little hands don't break them easily. The lenses pop out when they're twisted instead of breaking, and are super easy to pop back in when this happens. Overall, GREAT glasses.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

These sunglasses are great. I don't worry about them being broken all the time, or with my little one, I don't worry about him poking his eye out trying to put them on himself. The rubber is great.
The only drawback is, if they push they can pop the lenses out.... which I have been able to pop back in.... so is not a deal breaker for me.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

My 3 1/2 year old son wore them for two minutes in the car. He popped the lens out and I cannot find it. What a disappointment! I thought they would have lasted a bit longer than that! Who makes toddler glasses that come apart so easily?!?!?!? The shipping cost more than the actual product but I tolerated it because of the reviews. Boy was I wrong. I had to give it one star but I would really give it no stars since it isn't functional.....

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Rubber Frame Sunglasses Blue/green Child (5-7 Yrs.):

Glasses are soft, not "pokey" and fit fine. He likes to wear them and people think he looks adorable. He is my 2 year old Sweetheart! He thinks he looks cool. HE DOES! (Grandmom)
