FAQs

What age group is this wetsuit for?

The Splash About Happy Nappy Wetsuit is designed for infants and young children, with specific sizes available for ages 0-6 months up to 12-18 months.

Does this wetsuit replace a swim nappy?

Yes, the Happy Nappy Wetsuit features an integrated Happy Nappy system that provides leak protection, eliminating the need for a separate disposable or reusable swim nappy underneath. However, it can be used with nappy liners or wraps for easier cleaning.

How warm is the wetsuit?

It is made from 1mm neoprene, which is designed to keep the baby's core warm in the water, extending their comfort during water play.

Is this suitable for sun protection?

Yes, the wetsuit offers UPF50+ sun protection, making it ideal for outdoor water activities to shield the skin from harmful UV rays.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the wetsuit gently in cold water with a mild detergent. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the material.

What is the best way to ensure a good fit?

Refer to the specific size guide provided by Splash About. Measure your child's chest and waist and compare with the measurements. Ensure a snug fit around the legs and waist for optimal leak prevention.

Can this be used for any water activity?

It is suitable for swimming lessons, beach days, paddling pools, and general water play. It is not a buoyancy aid and constant adult supervision is required.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the child's measurements. Refer to the sizing chart. If the child is between sizes, consider sizing up for comfort.

Minor leaks occur

Check that the Happy Nappy component is snug around the legs and waist. Ensure the wetsuit itself fits well without large gaps. Use with a Splash About Nappy Liner or Wrap for extra security.

Material has lost elasticity or faded

This can be due to improper washing or drying. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid machine washing, high heat, or harsh detergents.

Difficult to zip up or down

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up or down. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Splash About Happy Nappy Wetsuit requires no complex setup. Ensure you select the correct size for your child by referring to the size guide. The wetsuit is ready to wear out of the package.

Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed to work seamlessly on its own. For enhanced ease of nappy changes, it can be used with Splash About Nappy Wraps and Liners, sold separately.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse after use: Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove chlorine, salt, and sand.
  2. Hand wash: Wash gently by hand using a mild detergent in cold water. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.
  3. Dry thoroughly: Hang the wetsuit to drip dry in a cool, shaded place. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can fade the colors and degrade the material. Do not tumble dry or iron.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place when not in use.
