I bought two of these speedo suits in pink for my girls 2.5 and 4.5. I got them in size 6-6x although I should probably have gotten my younger one a size 4T. I was looking for a size 5T but they don't have any so I got her the size up thinking that the 4T would be too small. This said, they both wore their suits on a trip to a water park where I knew the water temperature would be rather cold. The water was too cold for ME but THEY were fine. Also, because of the UV50 protection, I didn't have to worry about sunscreen...

I absolutely love this suit. It fits well, it is comfortable and has kept my daughters warm. I also love the bright pink color. It made it easy for me to spot them in the crowd. We plan to use them for their swimming lessons at the local pool.

I highly recommend it!

We have had our 2 yr old in swim class since summer and we are now in the fall class and they had reduced the water temp a lot!. Since the start of the fall swim our daughter has pretty much cried the whole time due to the water being soo cold and all she wanted to do was get out. We did some internet searching for toddler wet suits and came across this one even though it only had 4 reviews with only 1 being a bad review. We took a chance and ordered last week Thursday and got it by Friday. We ordered a 3T and it fit perfect!. On Tuesday 10/5/10, we went to swim class, and it worked! Our daughter enjoyed swim class again..yea! There were a couple of other kids in the pool with teeth chattering and some whining but not our daughter, she was soo happy! I would recommend this and I did to some of the parents at swim class last night.

"The suit is wonderful.

Pros: sporty, easy to get in/out, keeps my boy warm in/out of the pool even on a warm July day. I noticed a few wimpering/shivering kids around me, but we were happy.

Cons: smells like neoprene. Sizing worked out well for us, but could be a bit tricky. Customer service told us to get a 3T.

My boy is 2 years 8 months old, 37" tall, 36 pounds and wears 3T shirts, 2T pants. Based on Amazon reviews and the weight recommendation of Speedo, we bought the 4T. The suit is a little wide around the thighs and belly, but otherwise everything fits and works well. I figure this gives us some room to grow into."


AND NOW HERE IS A 2 YEAR UPDATE:
LOVE THIS SUIT! So now my boy is 3 years and 8 months, 46" tall and 46 pounds. He wears size 5 shirts and pants. The suit remains in very good shape. The suit still fits my boy serviceably. Yes, the shoulders and neck-line hang a little bit low, the thigh cuffs sit a little high on his mid-thigh. But it fits ok overall, and my boy still enjoys wearing it. One thing - he does put on a thin rash guard as an 'undershirt' for a bit of extra warmth (and he'll last for hour long pool sessions). We could probably make it through another summer, but I'm going to order the next size up and wait to pass this one along to his younger brother.

I ordered this thermal suit based on the previous review which was saying it's a real wetsuit and was very disappointed- it is very thin, probably 0.1 mm compared to normally 2 mm for really thermal wetsuit. It is really a good quality item, well manufactured, looks great just like the picture, probably with a little thermal protection, we did not try it in the water because it was about 10 times thinner that the one we had before. I think it does provide UV protection as advertised and a little bit thermal protection, but the previous 5* review was very misleading to me. The manufacturer never claimed it was a wetsuit- that is why it is not called one.

Received item in a reasonable time, in new condition and as described!
My son is 5 1/2 years old, I purchased a size 6-6X and it was a good fit.
Wasn't tight against the body like most people might wear it but wasn't loose, just about right. The quality was great and the colors were awesome. Thanks!

Good quality and is a perfect fit for my 8 years old son. The suit is comfortable and it keeps him warm during swimming.

I bought this suit for my tall but very thin 6 year old. I ordered the size 6. It wasn't even close to fitting him. I gave it to his 3 year old brother and it fit him perfectly. In addition, the stitching around the zipper is poor. There are a lot of rough pointy areas that bother my little guy's skin. The material is really light weight too and does virtually nothing to keep him warm. I'd suggest the NeoSport Wetsuit. I just ordered it for my older son and it is much better made.

Love this thermal suit. My 8 year old son is on swim team in AZ and this suit is perfect for him. It keeps him warm while he swims during practice and his swim meets. If it wasn't for this thermal suit he would have had to give up swimming during the winter season. The suit is well made and easy to wear while swimming laps because it's not that thick. I would highly recommend this thermal suit.

I am happy with the fit. It is not as tight as a wet suit and doesn't provide the same warmth as an actual wetsuet, but for the purpose of keeping my boys warm in the pool for swim practice or lessons it has been great. One of my boys doesn't like something tight around his neck so the crew neck with a zipper in the front is perfect for him

I originally bought this because my 3-yo kept wanting to leave his swim class because the water was too cold, even though he LOVES to swim. His lips would be different shades of blue after just 15 minutes. He initially didn't care for wearing this because they are clearly more cumbersome than a pair of swim trunks, but once he realized how warm it kept him, he LOVED it! These suits are fantastic. They look great, keep my son warm, super easy to get in & out. PLUS, they give him some extra buoyancy and confidence with swimming! And, I love knowing that he's well-protected from the sun. I cannot be happier with this thermal suit and have recommended it to many of our friends. I liked the 1st 1 so much that I bought another as a spare. Can't wait to take my son to Mexico in the winter with this. Note - my son is a very tall & skinny 3 yo (43", 37 lbs) and this suit fits him perfectly (with perhaps another inch to grow).
