Shorty Wetsuit (XSmall 3-4 Yrs, Blue)

We have only had this wetsuit for 8 months. If my son has worn it 20 times that would be a lot. The zipper already busted and now the suit is unusable and I cannot return it. I have had this same wet suit for my older kids and they have lasted much longer. Maybe they switched materials because this newest one has deteriorated so quickly and much faster than expected based on prior purchases of the same wet suit.

I got this wetsuit for my 5.5 yo boy (a very skinny little guy, 46 inches, 37 lbs) because he was shivering within 5 min after he jumped in the pool. I took a smaller size as I read reviews about sizing being a bit off. The XS (3-4 years) fits him perfectly, although probably he won't be able to wear it next year. This was the thickest suit I could find for this age and my son, who was just learning to swim, loved it. He liked the look but also the extra buoyancy it gave him, which boosted his confidence to swim at the deep end. The down side of that was that he loved it so much he never wanted to take it off, even when the pool was 80F, mostly because he was unsure he could swim without it. Finally, he learned that he could. Great wetsuit for little kids!

This is a great quality suit, but THEY HAVE CHANGED THE SIZING so that it actually fits a 3-4 year old. Before, this XS used to come up big (not useful for a wet suit). It is now more acurate but as a result I am going to have to exchange, resulting in inconvienience and a return charge.

My 3.5 year old is small, 29 pounds, but tall. She looks adorable in this and still has room to grow. This suit is well made, would recommend.
