Sun Screen Ratings for your little one

So we just went on a cruise with Snuggle Bug and had to use sunscreen a lot. I had gone and bought the highest spf that blocked both uva and uvb rays that I could find (Coppertone Waterbabies) since my husband and I both tend to burn easily so I assume Snuggle Bug will too.

Figures that as soon as I get home I find out about a website that rates sunscreens. I was happy to see that our sunscreen is a 3 out of 10 (the lower the better in this rating system), but it's still just inside the caution zone. I'm going to have to start looking for some of the better rated ones out there since the summer has only just begun. I've already heard from a number of fellow moms that a lot of kids have had allergic reactions to Episcentials.....maybe I'll try California Baby first.....

Here's  the website so you can all check it out.....
