I got one of these (Bare Sprint Shorty little kids wetsuit) for my 5 year old daughter (a size 6) in pink. We just got back from Mexico where we gave this a couple of weeks of hard use in the ocean and the pool. Initial quality was excellent. Nice neoprene with well stitched lycra sleeves and panels and a nice beefy zipper. It fit her well and didn't suffer any mechanical issues. The wetsuit had a couple of fine benefits in use: 1) solar cover up meant we were only slathering limbs and faces; 2) wetsuit keeps little kids warmer in extended swims. She used to get blue lips after 30-40 minutes in the pool. She was easily doing well over an hour at a clip on this this trip with the wetsuit.

Be aware that little kids will not be able to go to the bathroom by themselves in this suit as it must be unzipped and pulled down (and then up again afterwards). When the suit is wet it's a bit challenging to pull back up (but not too bad). The neoprene grips on waterslides (not that little kids are allowed to use many waterslides). It didn't stop my little girl from using the tot slides at the resort.

It dries overnight and travels well and pretty lightly. Recommended.

as soon as we received out wetsuit we went swimming at the indoor town pool. My daughter (2 years old) is skinny and gets cold pretty easily. She stayed warmer for a bit longer than usual so I was happy. We swam for about 40 minutes before getting cold. Normally she is cold after about 15-20 minutes. so far it seems like a good product. good fit, looks good and does its job! We are happy with product.

Great wetsuit for little kids. Provides enough warmth for swimming lessons, beach etc. Good arm movement, easy on and off with big zipper. Wasn't crazy about color combo...sort of a cross between Ronald MacDonald and a generic Super Hero. But kids seemed happy enough with it and it makes it easy to keep an eye on the little ones. Had one of these for my daughter, I bought it big and it lasted 4 years of swimming lessons and ocean going vacations, would have passed it on to my son, but it is pink! Still in great shape.

I bought this suit for my 2-year-old daughter. We live in Atlanta but our neighborhood pool is chilly and my daughter is pretty small (i.e. - no extra fat to keep her warm). This swimsuit works great to keep her comfortable in the pool - which means she enjoys swimming with us more - and to protect her from the sun. Plus, it comes in cute colors!

Would purchase it again. Warm, easy to get on and off, sleeves are soft lycra so easy to move, and looks great!

I'm not sure why they advertise the goggles... it must be outdated and they don't realize it. The wetsuit is great, but don't count on getting any goggles with it.
