Mother of 3, try Avon sunscreen with bug repellent, they have other stuff for kids and bug sprays, wipes and creams.  Avon.com

Answer 3

I live in Mosquito infested Florida, and I never Never use bug repellent, all you need is a fruity smelling lotion, something like a lavender scented lotion, mosquitos want to bite you because they want blood, but if they smell a flower they dont even come close, it has worked beautifully for my whole family, just cover his body in the lotion, you will see.

Answer 4

you can get kids off bug spray  

Answer 5

My mom used to use Avon Skin So Soft oil on us when we were younger.  She still uses it herself when she's out at my sibling's sports games or at parades during the summer when it's buggy out.  It always seemed to work for us, and is safe to use on your 3 yr. old's skin.

Check the can, or go and buy some for babies. These are available at every supermarket :)
