SPF swimsuits for kids

[campingcorgi]

Anyone ever bought one of these? I'm looking at the one-piece longer sleeved and legged ones that zip. I think it would be helpful to keep from having to sunscreen the kiddo 4 times a day whenever she hits the pool (all over--I'd still do her face, hands, etc.) but I have never seen one in a store and I don't know how the sizes run.

Anyone?

Hi there
I order my fair skinned DD (5yrold) swimsuits just like you asked from www.solartex.com

They are great. She has never had a sunburn in 3 sumers of outdoor swimming class here in So Fla. They do seem to run a bit on the small size so I would order up. good luck!

I've been doing this with my kids for years. Second Skins are some of the most inexpensive, and there are often some on ebay for reasonable prices. Buy a size or two bigger and you can often get 2-3 years out of them.

For anyone reading this with young children, 2 years ago I purchased one of the sunsies from sun chasers (www.sun-chasers.com). It's on it's second child now and I love it. So much easier than wrestling with an infant for putting on sunscreen and I feel better that I'm not constantly bombarding them with sunscreen chemicals at such a young age.
