Sun protection

I've been told my child (3yrs old) will be sensitive to the sun and burn easily due to her chemo. From your experiences, are we talking rash guards and long sleeves all summer? Specific UV protection clothing? Or just make sure to lather her up in sunscreen? Bonus if you can tell me where I can buy good UV clothing without breaking the bank as she out grows everything

For my son, we did almost like a wetsuit style bathing suit but regular bathing suit material. It was long pants and long sleeves. And a brimmed sun hat. And very diligent about the parts that weren’t covered with high spf. I got the bathing suit on Amazon. Hope you guys are able to enjoy your summer the best you can!
