16 Mommy and Me Swimsuits for a Cute Matching Moment
Love a matching moment? We do too! Coordinating outfits and family pajamas are absolutely adorable, and swimwear is no exception. More and more brands have begun releasing mommy and me swimsuits, making it even easier to twin with your mini this summer.
That being said, young children and adults have slightly different needs when it comes to bathing suits. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), protective clothing is key in the summertime—particularly for infants—as sunscreen isn’t suitable for babies under 6 months. Regardless of your little one’s age, it’s best to opt for a full-coverage swimsuit with a high UPF rating. Luckily, there are plenty of sun-safe and stylish options out there for parents and kiddos. Below, shop our favorite picks for mommy and me bathing suits—and several options that the whole family can join in on.
Here are the steps we took to create this roundup:
- We consulted relevant guidelines about sun safety and protection from organizations, including the AAP, and considered these when choosing which bathing suits to include.
- To see how these swimsuits worked for real families, we conducted exhaustive market research, scouring external forums and message boards and reading user reviews to find out what brands and styles moms and kids across the country love.
- We leveraged our familiarity with leading swimwear brands that parents have relied on over the years.
Editorial integrity is at the heart of everything we publish. Read more about how The Bump develops our product reviews.
