Whether you are planning your first family holiday or just enjoying the paddling pool in your back garden, safety in the sun is a must especially for young children and babies.
You need to find a swimsuit that offers them comfort but also protection from harmful UV rays. You may not be able to try the swimsuit on a young child, like you might yourself, but either go off the weight or height size guides to ensure the correct fit. A baby may need to wear a swim nappy under the swim suit in which case you may need to get one a little bigger.
Wet suits and sun suits are ideal for younger children and babies as they offer a lot more protection from the sun than swimming costumes or shorts / trunks. You do not have to opt for the usually wet suit material as most retailers sell sun suits that are made from the same material as swimming costumes, allowing the child to be comfortable in it all day.
The Splash About Baby Wrap Wetsuit from Amazon is made from 3mm thick neoprene which helps to retain body heat. The nifty Velcro wrap around design also means it is extremely easy to get on and off.
