Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on.
Make sure the child is dry before putting on the wetsuit. Consider using a plastic bag over the feet and hands to assist sliding the suit on. Ensure the child isn't pulling on the wetsuit's seams when dressing.
The wetsuit is not keeping the child warm enough.
Ensure the wetsuit fits correctly. Check the water temperature – the wetsuit is designed for warmer conditions. If the water is too cold, consider a thicker wetsuit or shorter exposure to the water.
The zipper is stuck.
Make sure there is no sand or debris in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper with one hand and hold the fabric near the zipper to ensure the fabric does not get caught.
The wetsuit is damaged.
Inspect the wetsuit for tears or holes. If there's a small tear, it might be fixable with neoprene glue. For larger damage, it might be time to replace the wetsuit.
