My son doesn't burn, should I still use sun protection?

Question:

My (4 year old) son does not burn when he goes out in the sun. He is very dark skinned (he is white, but his father is spanish and I have quite dark skin).

Should I still use sun protection on him, even though all he does is get darker? Am I putting him in danger by not using sun cream on him?

Answers:
I don't burn either but I still use sun protection. Better to be safe then sorry. I believe over the years even if one doesn't burn they are still effected by the sun.

Other Answers:
No, I like the smell of burned flesh!

I am asking you, please use sunblock on your child.
