School might not be in session just yet for a few families out there, so while you're out and about making the most of the last day's of summer, make sure to keep the kiddies cool and comfy in a Sun Smarties Terry Romper (shown at top left, now on sale for $19.95) from Cosmotot fave and local yokel, One Step Ahead.
The oversized romper packs a powerful sun-protection punch with UPF 50+ treated terry cloth that is soft, airy and completely breathable, so even the most active little ones won't overheat.
Practical touches like a no-pinch front zipper and snap crotch on sizes up to 24 months make dressing a cinch.
And, while you're at it, mix up game time and add some unexpected, easy fun for the littlest members of the family with One Step Ahead's My First Bubble Blower (shown at bottom right, $14.95). 
The spill-proof (although when Wills tried to carry it sideways, there was indeed much spillage) bubble machine is so user-friendly, that it's recommended for tots 18 months old and up. Wee ones simply push down the handle and watch bubbles float up into the air for great case-and-effect fun.
Better yet, it includes a 4 oz. bottle of safe, non-toxic bubble solution, but not the 2 AA batteries, which mom and dad will have to supply.
Once it gets a little too chilly or late to take down time outside, get the kiddies active with the Zoom Around Garage (shown at bottom left, $59.95).
Not only is it One Step Ahead's first toy garage, but it's meant for tots 12 months and up, which means everyone can get in on the fun.
It's just as thrilling as "big kid" versions, but with scaled-down features like a car wash, racing ramps, elevator and more that are easier for little hands to handle. Light and sound effects like flashing lights, a gulping gas pump and hissing air pump add to the imaginative fun, and the set also includes three chunky, magnetic
toddler cars that are supposed to make fun zooming sounds (not sure if that's the case or not since ours have never made a sound - still fun to use though).
Requires 3 AA batteries and simple snap-together parent assembly, which shouldn't take more than five minutes.
No, really.
