Swimsuits for kids: Cute, comfy and sun-safe picks for summer

When it comes to kids swimsuits, finding the right one is about more than just cute prints and bright colors, although those certainly help.

Parents are prioritizing comfort, durability and UV protection more than ever, especially as families gear up for beach vacations, pool playdates and water park adventures.

The best swimsuits for kids combine functional features -- think UPF fabric, secure fits and quick-drying materials -- with the kind of playful style little ones actually want to wear.

This summer, the trend continues toward rash guards, long-sleeved swim shirts and one-piece suits that offer more coverage without sacrificing fun.

Below, we've rounded up some of the top swimsuits for kids this summer, with options from trusted brands like Hanna Andersson, Primary, Old Navy and more.
