FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent sun protection.
Can this be worn in a heated pool?
Yes, it is excellent for keeping children warm even in heated pools if they are sensitive to temperature changes.
Is the material waterproof?
It is a wetsuit material designed to retain body heat in the water, not to be completely waterproof.
How do I choose the right size?
The current model is designed for children aged 1-2, based on average physical development for that age group.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the suit to preserve the elasticity and the protective UV coating of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the suit while on the child
Ensure the child is standing straight and the suit is pulled up fully before attempting to close the zipper to prevent snagging.
Salt or chlorine residue remaining after use
Soak the suit in a basin of cool fresh water for 15 minutes and gently rinse to remove all chemical or salt deposits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the suit, always rinse with cool, fresh water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water. Hand wash in mild detergent and allow the suit to air dry out of direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the fabric and UV protective coating. Avoid wringing the suit out; instead, gently squeeze out excess water. When dressing your child, ensure the back zip is fully closed to maintain the intended insulation and protective properties. The size 1-2 variant is specifically fitted for the physical build of toddlers in that age bracket.
