Product Information
Full details
The Splash About Happy Nappy Wetsuit is designed for infants and young children, offering a dual-purpose solution that combines warmth and reliable nappy containment for water activities. Its key benefit is providing essential warmth with 1mm neoprene while ensuring leak-free swimming thanks to the integrated Happy Nappy. A potential consideration is that while the integrated nappy can be used alone, adding Nappy Wraps or Liners might be necessary for quicker changes, especially for younger babies.

FAQs
Do I need to wear a separate nappy under the Happy Nappy Wetsuit?
No, the Happy Nappy Wetsuit has an integrated Happy Nappy designed to contain solid waste. However, you can add Splash About Nappy Wraps and Liners for additional protection and easier nappy changes.
What is the primary purpose of the neoprene material?
The 1mm neoprene construction is designed to keep your baby's core body temperature warm during water activities, making them more comfortable, especially in cooler water.
Is this wetsuit suitable for beach use?
Yes, the wetsuit offers UPF50+ sun protection, making it ideal for beach days, paddling pools, and garden play to protect your baby's skin from UV rays.
How do I wash and care for the wetsuit?
Rinse thoroughly in cold, fresh water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or use harsh detergents. Dry flat away from direct sunlight.
Can this wetsuit be used by babies of all genders?
Yes, while some colorways might be marketed towards specific genders, the design and functionality are suitable for babies of all genders. Please check individual product listings for color and size availability.
What does UPF50+ protection mean?
UPF50+ signifies that the fabric provides very high protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It blocks at least 98% of UV rays when worn, helping to prevent sunburn.
How does the sizing work?
Sizing is typically based on the baby's age and/or weight. Refer to the specific size guide provided by Splash About for accurate measurements, often given in months or UK baby sizes.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin but not impede movement or breathing. Check the size guide provided by the manufacturer.
Leaks occurring from the leg area
Verify the fit around the legs. The Happy Nappy's elasticated leg cuffs should create a snug seal. For more robust containment, consider using a Splash About Nappy Wrap and Liner underneath.
Baby feels cold despite wearing the wetsuit
Ensure the wetsuit is fitting correctly and not allowing too much water to circulate freely. Check if the baby is spending extended periods in very cold water, which might require a thicker wetsuit or shorter swim times.
Difficulty zipping up
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Lay the wetsuit flat and carefully guide the zip up. If the zip is stiff, check for obstructions or salt/chlorine residue and clean gently.
