Are you planning to go on holiday by the sea or lazing by the pool? In order to make the most of aquatic activities with your family, maximum safety must be ensured. Sunburn, drowning, panic attacks, the risks can be numerous for your baby. But then, how to choose the right baby swimsuit? Little Guest has looked into this question and offers you a complete article on the subject along with a selection of swimsuits specially adapted for babies.
The waterproof nappy or no-leak swimsuit
If baby is not used to going to the sea or swimming pool very often, the waterproof nappy can be an excellent solution. With a waterproof outer part, the nappy prevents water from penetrating and thus making your baby heavier. The inner part of the nappy is absorbent, which effectively prevents any leaks. Disposable, these nappies can only be used once.
The no-leak swimsuit works on the same principle with the difference that it is reusable. It can be used up to about 1 year or 11 kg. It comes in the form of a fabric panty with a waterproof inner side that does not allow any material to pass through. This swimsuit does not become heavy in water and can be washed (by hand) after each use. If your baby is going to swim more regularly, whether in the ocean or in the pool, this solution is way more economical than the disposable pool nappy.
The swimsuit with an integrated buoy
It’s well known that safety comes first! To protect baby as well as possible, there are swimsuits with an integrated buoy. These one-piece swimsuits are equipped with polystyrene floats strategically placed at the waist to ensure optimal buoyancy for the baby. On some models, the floats can be gradually removed as your baby swims more comfortably. It is recommended that this swimsuit be paired with armbands for maximum balance and safety.
Bonus: the child keeps the buoy even out of the water, thus considerably reducing the risk of a possible fall into the pool.
The UV-protective swimsuit
It is not always easy to effectively protect baby from the sun when he is soaking. If sunglasses, sunscreen and a cap are obviously in order, a UV-protective swimsuit can complete the perfect outfit for the protected baby. UV-protective swimsuits feature short or long sleeves which provide effective protection for the shoulders and back. They are available from the age of three months. Some anti-UV swimsuits are also treated against sand, which prevents any infiltration of grains of sand and ensures greater comfort for baby’s fragile skin. For optimum protection, choose a swimsuit with the label « Anti UV UPF 50 + ». This label guarantees that the swimsuit filters 98% of UV rays.
Baby’s first holiday is fast approaching and the question of bathing is likely to arise quite quickly. In order to prepare and organise this important moment for him as well as possible, it is important to offer him the ideal swimsuit. But then, what are the characteristics of the perfect swimsuit for baby?
