I use the highest SPF on myself I can find since I burn easily, so I use the highest I can find for DS as well.

Re: Sunscreen for Toddlers - how much SPF?
I'm not sure how new it is, but I just saw an ad for Neutrogena's baby line that I plan on testing out this summer.
I use their sunscreen for myself and love it...so I'm curious to see how good this one works.
(And it comes in a stick form for face and ears)

Re: Sunscreen for Toddlers - how much SPF?
My suggestion is to check the Baby Sunscreens on this site. Many use chemicals that are not safe to block the sun. You should use one that uses zinc oxide as a physical barrier as opposed to the chemical ones. The toxic chemicals in baby products have been on the news a lot lately.
Here is the link to sunscreen ratings:

We use California Baby products.

Re: Sunscreen for Toddlers - how much SPF?
Last year we used the Earth's Best sunblock and liked it (but it's SUPER thick). This year I ordered the California Baby sunblock and tried it on my hand, it's SUPER thick too...but I don't love all the chemicals in regular sunblock, so thick it is!
