I put my 4 year old son in swim lessons, and he could not get warm enough in a swim shirt and trunks. I bought this suit in hopes that he would be warmer. It works! He is now ready to go to each lesson, with great enthusiasm. Perfect fit! This suit is made very well, and my son has no problem with the high neck.

Bought this for my 6 years old daughter to keep her warm in the indoor swimming pool, the temperature was about 80 degrees. She finished the 1 hour lesson and wants to go back again. It works. She is 45 lbs. and 48 inches (80 percentile), the wetsuit fits perfectly, we got size 6 (based on the Size Info link on the product page). Actually, the high neck is a great design, and really keeps the water out. This is a high quality, high tech wetsuit, $40 for size 6, that's a good price.

Based on the good reviews, I ordered a size 6 for my six year old son, who is a bit shorter and very slim compared to others his age. He swims in the suit (no pun intended).
Nevertheless, I think it's a very good product -- sturdy and cleverly designed. My son finds it comfortable and it seems to keep him warm in the water even though it's baggy. The upshot: he makes it through his swimming lessons now and I'm grateful for that.

I just bought this suit for my tall but very skinny 6 year old son. I ordered a size 8 and he has plenty of room to spare. The zippers are well protected from the skin with various tabs so this suit is super comfortable and is a good weight to keep him warm in our local swimming pool.

This is a great wetsuit for swimming lessons, beach, etc. Fits very well and seems sufficiently insulated with good movement in the arms. Only complaint from the actual wearer is the neck is too high and constricting...nothing a scissor can't take care of!

Bought 2 of these for my boys for an upcoming snorkeling trip in January, but one of them has worn his to the indoor pool as the water is so cold (and he is so skinny) it makes him turn blue and shiver after just a short time. He was finally able to swim for over an hour without turning colors! I usually have to pull him out and warm him up after 30 minutes for fear of hypothermia, but this wetsuit allowed him to maintain a good body temp until we were all ready to go home. I'm very happy with this product so far and will purchase larger sizes as he grows.

As for sizing, I think the size chart from Neosport was close, but we needed to order up a size because of long torsos. According to the chart, my small 9 year old was in the middle of the height range for size 6 and upper end of weight range for size 6. My 6 year old was in the middle of the height for size 4 and low end of weight for size 6. I got them both a size 6. My 6 year old has a long torso so I figured the extra length would be good for him. Size 6 fit him great. It was too small in the torso for my 9 year old though. We exchanged it for size 8 and it fits nicely. I would recommend going by your child's weight to determine sizing. If your child is at the upper end of the weight range, then size up.

My son gets cold fast, so a wanted a fairly thick wetsuit. Also I was worried about the size, but it's very true to size. This really helps him stay warm for the duration of his swim lesson, so he gets the most out of it.

I got this for my daughter for when she has her swimming lessons in an indoor pool. Since she's been wearing it, she doesn't shiver as much and she enjoys staying in the water even after her lessons are over. The design and style are nice, easy to put on/take off. She's 4 years old and on the taller side so I got her a size 6. While it fits, it's not snug- she'll be able to wear it for another year or so (which I'm fine with). This was the best deal for the money in my opinion.

Nora wanted to look like the trainers at the Shamoo show in Florida. She loves her suit. It fits just perfect.

My five year old daughter loves her suit and wears it in Hawaii for swim team in a non-heated pool. It is great I would recommend it to anyone who needs some warmth and sun protection!
