Wondering whether your little ones can use our Beach Showers safely?
It's a fair question. We've seen all the other portable showers available on Amazon, but as a family with small kids, we knew that ours would need to be simpler, safer and easier to use.
That's not to say making a child-friendly portable shower was easy. If you could've seen our first iteration, you would have been shocked! After lots of tinkering, refining and backyard swearing from dad though, we reckon we've nailed it.
Curious as to whether your kids can use our range of Beach Showers? Read on to discover why we believe they're not only safe for kids, but perfect for them too!
How are our Beach Showers child-friendly?
As you well know, making sure your kids are not only safe but happy is key to successful family adventures. That's why we've made our Beach Showers for families with young kids.
Here are just a few reasons why our portable showers are child-friendly:
- Easy to use: Our Beach Showers require no complicated set-up or instructions. Kids can operate our portable showers themselves (with adult supervision of course)
- Lightweight and compact: Our Beach Showers are lightweight and compact, making them easy to carry and handle
- No electricity or batteries: There are zero electrical or battery-related safety concerns with our Beach Showers as they don’t require a power source
- Safe water temperature: Our Beach Showers have an insulating cover that helps keep the water warm, but also ensures it doesn't get too hot for little ones
- Durable: Our Beach Showers are made with durable materials that can withstand rough play and outdoor adventures
- Versatile: Our Beach Showers have multiple uses, making them perfect for kids to use for rinsing off after a day at the beach, washing their bikes or toys or even taking a warm shower during cooler months
We understand the importance of keeping kids safe and happy, which is why we've designed our Beach Showers to be child-friendly in every way.
“It’s a great size and works so easily. Our kids are just as delighted to use it and it also comes in handy when you need readily portable water. Perfect for after a beach day and rinsing sand and dirt off filthy kids. It will accompany us on many of our family adventures ahead”
Annette L., Australia
Are they safe for kids of all ages?
Great question! The truth is that while we'd love to say our Beach Showers are suitable for kids of all ages, it's not practical for children under the age of 6 to use them.
That's not to say they couldn't, mind you. It's just that we recommend adult supervision for children under 6 years old due to the pump mechanism and potential hazards associated with water play.
However, kids over the age of 6 can safely use our Beach Showers with minimal supervision. We recommend teaching them how to properly operate the pump and supervise their use until they get the hang of it.
Every Beach Shower comes with instructions to help you do that. We also have a comprehensive online troubleshooting guide to help you and your kids get the most out of your portable shower.
“Fantastic for freshening up at the end of a beach day. Super handy for the kids!”
Brooke S., Australia
Can kids use them independently?
Of course! As long as your wee ones are over the age of 6 and have been taught how to use our Beach Showers safely, they can definitely use them independently.
In fact, we believe encouraging independence in young children is an important part of their growth and development, which is why we've made our Beach Showers easy to operate for all ages.
You might want to make sure it's not the first time they're using it when you're already at your campsite though. A practice run in the backyard can help build their confidence and ensure they know how to use it properly before heading out on your beach or camping adventure.
We also recommend placing the Beach Shower on the ground instead of placing it in an elevated position. Even though the sturdy base is designed not to tip, you can never be too cautious when it comes to the safety of your little ones.
Last but not least, remember that in some countries such as Australia, water is a precious commodity and should be used wisely.
Teach your kids the value of conserving water while using our Beach Showers – you'll not only have happy campers, adventurers and beachgoers, but environmentally conscious ones as well!
“Excellent quality product that suits island lifestyle, portable, easy to use anywhere. Family, pets, grubby children can all clean up. Thanks for saving my sanity!”

In a world where environmental consciousness is becoming increasingly important, a child-friendly portable shower serves as a perfect teaching tool about water conservation.
Parents can educate their children on the importance of preserving water by demonstrating how to use the portable shower efficiently.
This not only makes your child more aware of environmental issues but also instils good habits from a young age.

Whether it’s rinsing off sand in the summer or warming up after a winter adventure, a child-friendly portable shower is versatile enough to accommodate all seasons.
This adaptability ensures that families can continue their outdoor activities year-round, without having to worry about their children's comfort and well-being during bath time.
