Product Information
Full details
This Splash About Happy Nappy Wetsuit is designed for infants who are beginning their water journey, offering a comfortable and secure swimming experience. Its key benefit is the all-in-one design combining a wetsuit with an integrated swim nappy, providing warmth and leak protection. A potential consideration is that while it can be worn alone, additional nappy wraps and liners might be preferred for easier changes.

FAQs
Do I need to wear a separate swim nappy underneath?
No, the Happy Nappy Wetsuit has an integrated, award-winning Happy Nappy built-in, designed to contain solid leaks. You can add Nappy Liners for easier cleanup if desired.
What is the primary benefit of the neoprene material?
The 1mm neoprene provides core warmth and insulation, keeping your baby comfortable for longer periods in the water, especially in cooler temperatures.
Can this wetsuit be used for sun protection?
Yes, the wetsuit offers UPF 50+ sun protection, making it suitable and safe for outdoor use in paddling pools or at the beach.
How do I clean the Happy Nappy Wetsuit?
Rinse in cold, fresh water after each use. Hand wash only with mild soap if needed. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Dry flat in the shade.
What sizes are available?
The Happy Nappy Wetsuit comes in various infant sizes, typically ranging from 0-3 months up to 12-18 months, with specific UK baby size measurements provided.
Is this wetsuit suitable for babies who are not yet toilet trained?
Yes, it is specifically designed for infants and toddlers, with the integrated Happy Nappy being highly effective at preventing solid leaks for babies who are not yet toilet trained.
Can the wetsuit be worn on its own or does it need a liner?
It can be worn on its own. However, Splash About offers optional Nappy Wraps and Liners that can be used with the wetsuit for added convenience during changes.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on.
Ensure the baby is not overly cold, as this can make muscles tense. Lay the wetsuit flat, place the baby on top, and gently pull the legs and arms through. The back zip should be the last step.
Minor leaks from the nappy area.
Double-check that the wetsuit is the correct size and fits snugly around the legs and waist. Ensure no fabric is tucked into the leg cuffs. Consider using a Splash About Nappy Liner for added absorbency and containment.
Baby seems uncomfortable or too warm.
Remove the baby from the water and allow them to cool down. Ensure the wetsuit is not too tight. For very warm environments, consider using the wetsuit for shorter durations or opting for a lighter swim garment.
Material feels stiff after washing.
This can happen with neoprene. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly in fresh water after each use and drying flat in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight and high heat.
