Product Information
Full details
The Kite Reef Time Sunsuit is designed for infants who need reliable sun protection during water play or beach outings. It offers a vital layer of safety with UPF 50+ protection, though parents should note that it is an over-the-knee style that covers more skin than traditional swimwear, which may impact mobility for very active crawlers.

FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means that only 1/50th of the sun's UV rays can penetrate the fabric, effectively blocking 98% of harmful UVA and UVB radiation.
Is the fabric free from harmful chemicals?
Yes, the sunsuit is made from OEKO-TEX approved fabric and is guaranteed to be PFC-free.
Can I use this suit in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, it is designed for both beach and pool use; just be sure to rinse it with fresh water after each session to maintain fabric longevity.
How should I clean the sunsuit?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Always air dry in the shade to prevent the sun from damaging the fabric's UV-blocking properties.
What age group is the 6-9 month size suitable for?
The 6-9 month size is tailored for infants within that developmental stage, though fit can vary based on the baby's individual height and weight.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and affect the moisture-wicking properties.
Suit is difficult to pull on over a diaper
Ensure the infant is dry before dressing, as wet skin creates friction; check that the swim diaper is properly seated low on the hips to minimize bulk.
Pros and Cons

- PFC-free and OEKO-TEX certified materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the sunsuit in top condition, rinse it thoroughly in fresh water after every use in salt or chlorinated water to prevent fabric degradation. It is machine washable on a gentle cycle, but avoid high-heat drying, as this can weaken the fibers and compromise the UPF integrity over time. Hang the suit to air dry out of direct sunlight. Because this suit is made of nylon, it fits snugly; if you are layering it over a swim diaper, ensure the size chosen provides enough room for the diaper's bulk without straining the seams.
