I bought this suit for my 2-year-old daughter. We live in Atlanta but our neighborhood pool is chilly and my daughter is pretty small (i.e. – no extra fat to keep her warm). This swimsuit works great to keep her comfortable in the pool – which means she enjoys swimming with us more – and to protect her from the sun. Plus, it comes in cute colors!

I got one of these (Bare Sprint Shorty little kids wetsuit) for my 5 year old daughter (a size 6) in pink. We just got back from Mexico where we gave this a couple of weeks of hard use in the ocean and the pool. Initial quality was excellent. Nice neoprene with well stitched lycra sleeves and panels and a nice beefy zipper. It fit her well and didn’t suffer any mechanical issues. The wetsuit had a couple of fine benefits in use: 1) solar cover up meant we were only slathering limbs and faces; 2) wetsuit keeps little kids warmer in extended swims. She used to get blue lips after 30-40 minutes in the pool. She was easily doing well over an hour at a clip on this this trip with the wetsuit.
Be aware that little kids will not be able to go to the bathroom by themselves in this suit as it must be unzipped and pulled down (and then up again afterwards). When the suit is wet it’s a bit challenging to pull back up (but not too bad). The neoprene grips on waterslides (not that little kids are allowed to use many waterslides). It didn’t stop my little girl from using the tot slides at the resort.
It dries overnight and travels well and pretty lightly. Recommended.
