Now that the sun has started to make an appearance, many of us will be thinking of the best options for protecting our little ones during time outdoors. With kids often in and out of paddling pools, rolling around on grass and everything else, parents are praising the NIVEA Sun Kids Protect & Care SPF50+ Roll On as a 'perfect' addition to their kids' sun care routine.

Amazon is hosting a huge sale with hundreds of offers available on summer essentials, including the NIVEA Sun Kids SPF50+ Roll On which is now available for £7.50. Usually £10.75, the price reduction saves an impressive 30%.

NIVEA Sun Kids helps to protect your child's delicate skin from harmful UV rays. With a practical roll-on feature that makes it breeze to apply, the product is designed to provide maximum protection, as well as keep infant skin well moisturised and nourished.

For environmentally conscious customers, the formula boasts an Ocean Respect seal of approval, and is free of harmful UV filters often found in sun creams, which can be damaging to marine life. Ocean Respect means it is 68% biodegradable and ocean-friendly, as well as being free of microplastics, further reducing its impact on the environment.

Impressively racking up over 3,400 positive reviews online, NIVEA Sun Kids has been dubbed ' perfect for little ones' in comments. One customer added: "It's so easy to use, it spreads well and is easy to rub into skin. Great for kids to use too! And it works!"

A second shopper wrote: "My son has extremely sensitive skin, and this is the only sunscreen he likes and that doesn't give him a rash. I bought a knock-off one from Aldi thinking it would be 'exactly the same', but he broke out in a splotchy red rash all over his face within half an hour of application. He loves applying this Nivea one himself with the roller."

A third buyer exclaimed: "It's fab for little kids who wriggle when getting sunscreen on! The clothes survive better and goes in my handbag. Great product!"

Some people weren't as happy with the roll-on application, as one person advised: "It comes out in blobs and you still have to rub it in. I’ve now bought a mist instead."

Another shopper didn't like the small bottles, sharing: "This is a great sun cream and my son finds it easy to apply himself, but it's so tiny that it runs out quickly."

Why not give the popular La Roche-Posay Anthelios Kids Invisible Spray SPF 50+ (£19.12, Lookfantastic) a try if you're looking for alternatives? Amazon has also slashed money off of the Coola Body Sun Cream Spray SPF 50 in the summer essentials sale.
