It’s summertime! 😎 School is out, and we know many families will want to spend their days enjoying the pool. We’ve got the perfect mom hack to make packing for this activity easier: a DIY summer pool caddy!

It’s simple — we turned our diaper caddy into a pool caddy by filling it with all our poolside essentials. It’s the perfect way to reuse this bin and carry everything you and your family need to beat the heat! (If you don’t already have a diaper caddy, we recommend this Ubbi caddy with a drawer for extra storage space.)

Here are some items we like to keep in our pool caddy:

• Sunscreen
• Bug repellant
• Lip balm
• Water mister (a little spritz feels good on hot days!)
• Kids’ goggles
• Wet brush (for detangling damp hair)
• Bluetooth speaker
• A book or magazine for you
• Portable fan
• Sunglasses
• Band-aids (waterproof is the way to go!)
• Baby wipes
