It is a good idea, but it starts to react to the sun a while later. In fact it takes too long to see how much sun we are getting.

I love this product because it reminds you to reapply sunscreen on your child. Sometimes when you're having fun swimming, you forget about it, or you don't think it's been that long. Seeing that little fish on my daughter constantly reminds me that I need to be aware of how long we have been swimming and that the sunscreen needs to be put on again.

Most usage was at the pool which apparently wasn't the right place to use the stickers. The glue backing didn't come off with the sticker. Colors changed so might have been useful in another setting.

I misunderstood the product. I thought it would tell you when your child need MORE sunscreen. It just measures the UVB, UVA rays. I ordered these for both of my kids over 4th of July. I put on sunscreen and then waited for it to absorb and put them stickers on the back of there neck. I thought that would be the safest spot that they wouldn't touch. Within a few minutes outside they turned bright orange, well I just had put suncreen on both my kids so I know they didn't need more sunscreen then. Within the hour they had both fallen off due to normal sweating - ding ding time to put on more sunscrean or go inside. So if you put suncreen on every couple of hours like recommended you don't need these stickers. If they help you remember to put on suncreen well then they are just expensive stickers.

I love the concept of these sensors, but I am not sure how effective they are. The sticker peels off too quickly in the heat and they are not waterproof. It would be a lot better if they made some that were waterproof. I will use them when we are out walking or just playing in the sun. Not a great idea for the water.

They are cute little stickers, and I followed the instructions carefully but I found that sunblock changed the color faster than the sun would. They also will not stick to a child that has been thoroughly sunblocked or running through sprinklers or in water.

Things are a great idea!! Hard to tell if my son is getting too much sun but these let me know. I bought 2 packs of them. One for the diaper bag and one for the house. I highly recommend these to ANY parent or grandparent!

My daughter is very fair skinned and it is not always easy to tell when she has had too much sun (she looks ok until you get her inside). This product is unbelievable and helps in the process. I am just amazed that they can come up with something like this...It's fantastic!

My kids love these and so do I!! Awesome way to see how much sun they are getting.
I've tried sticking these to my kids, myself, and to our hats. In the end, I put one on top of our cooler and it stayed there longer than anywhere else. Yes, we put it on clear, clean skin. I think it's just best to use your cell phone alarm to remind you it's time to get the kids out of the sun.

I noticed this product has a bad review. It because it was used wrong.You are supposed to apply it on clear skin, and it will stick really good. Put lotion around the sensor. I loved it for my 6 months baby. He was outside in the little tent in the shade, but you never know how much sun still gets to him.
I just put one on every time we went for a walk with the stroler.

I bought this product 2 summers ago and loved them, ran out of them the next summer and searched EVERYWHERE for them and struggled without them. Now buying Extra. Don't want to run out again. Put the sticker on your child or toddler and when it's time to reapply sunscreen, you have an extra reminder! I've Never had one fall off, but I do put them on upper arms or upper backs so kids won't have fun peeling them off. My kids never got too much sun when I was using them and that's gratifying to me since their future skin health depends on it!

I bought this for my child and it kept falling off. I couldn't tell how long it was exposed to the sun or how it was timed with the sun screen I applied. I would not recomend this product to other Moms.
