Review on O'Neill Reactor Spring Wetsuit for Toddlers - 2mm Thickness by Mark Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Maximum warmth for a thin baby.

This wetsuit is worth the money. If you have a skinny kid, buy it! My skinny baby shook violently as soon as he got out of the pool. It was so bad that I considered canceling swimming lessons. I searched Amazon and bought this and the Speedo baby suit. This material is much thicker and the quality is noticeably higher. So the higher price is justified IMO. Also, this O'Neal suits him better, he's skinny and most of his clothes tend to be loose. Wetsuits are meant to be snug, but this one fits your legs but leaves some room in your arms. I thought it might not work that well, but it works! My toddler gets out of the pool and is NO longer shaking. In fact, it's nice and warm and stays warm until I change my other baby's diaper and get to him. He flinches slightly as soon as I open my wetsuit. It has room to grow and my toddler calls it the Superman suit and loves it! The tach is thinner, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, depending on how much warmth you're after. Also, it sits loosely on my little one and the sleeves are swimsuit material, not neoprene. If you're looking for maximum warmth and a comfortable fit for skinny kids, treat yourself to O'Neill. Costs money.

Pros
  • Great for me
