indigomama Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 My 3yo DD is having really bad allergic reactions to sunscreen, so we are trying to get her a swimsuit (prefer two pieces) that have more coverage, like the rash-guard shirts. Our problem has been, that the headholes for the rash-guards are too small. We've tried old navy and REI. Does anyone have any recommendations for full coverge swimsuits that fit over little ones with huge noggins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Have you looked at these rash guard suits with UV block? They zip up. http://www.hannaandersson.com/search.aspx?search_for=toddler%20swimwear&rs=1&cm_mmc=Google+Adwords-_-NonBrand-_-Toddler_Swimwear-_-toddler_rash_guard_broad&gclid=CK6mjMHLmLcCFclxQgodaHwAGQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a perfectly serviceable solid-colored rash guard suit but I think my little girl might "need" one of these next summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songsparrow Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 You may already know this, but while some rash guards provide their sun protection just from the weave of the fabric, others have sunscreens applied to the fabric to boost its sun protection. If your dd is allergic to sunscreen, you'll want to make sure you only buy the former. Google chemical-free rash guards to find options.

I did think of this after I started looking at them. But that is definitely something I need to pay attention to. Searching now for chemical-free zip-up rash guards.

Acorn Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 We've had the same problem. Last year, I had to buy the same suit in 2 sizes, just to fit her head through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
