Used it all summer long. She seemed comfortabe, it was easy to put on, take off, or change a diaper. I didn't have to worry about sunscreen on most of her body. What a relief!

Easy to get on 2.5 yr old daughter as she liked the style and color. Lightweight and easy for her to move in it to play. Only needed sunscreen for her face at the outdoor pool and lake. Using it now @ indoor pool this fall which is helping to keep her a little warmer now that the air is cooler.

Great alternative to lathering every bit of skin with sunscreen or reapplying. Also felt like her skin was protected from passing by fish or jellyfish in the ocean waters of Hawaii. Would have been nice if the zipper went all the way down the leg for easier take-off. Overall very quick and easy for great sun protection! A must have, especially for spending hours in the sun with no worries!

I used this suit all summer for my 1 year old. We bought the Coolibar suit last summer and had a hard time with the crotch snaps coming undone. No such problems with this suit. The snaps are plastic and, after an entire summer wearing it (in Florida), they still stay snapped!

We tried to use this at a very sandy lake and it just did not work. Once it got wet and sandy, you could not re-close it after changing a diaper. All the sand made the snaps unable to close.

I really wanted to like this, since it meant not having to use lots of sunscreen, but we only wore it once.

Might be best at a pool, and for potty trained kids

This suit provided excellent sun protection, but after one wear the fabric started to pick where our baby had been crawling around.

My baby is 14 months old and she hates taking a bath and when I put her in the pool with this on, it kept her warm when the pool was freezing. I loved it.

This is perfect for the beach. You don't have to slather sunscreen all over your active little one-- just a few places (hands, feet, and face). And don't forget a good hat!

My son wore this suit all summer on the beach in New Jersey. He was comfortable - not too hot at all. I only had to lotion up his hands and feet, and keep a hat on him. This suit made our beachtime safe, and allowed me to relax. I didn't have to chase him with the spray-on lotion like the other parents I saw.

I love this little suit. It is so much easier to hold onto my son in this suit than when he's all slimy and slippery with sunscreen. The only place we bothered with sunscreen was his head. The suit seems to keep him a teeny bit warmer in the water than regular trunks too.

Our son wears size 12 months in Carters clothes and the 6-12 months size suit fit him perfectly.

We used the suit at the beach, and it was great. It protected my daughter from the sun. It's lightweight and breathable. Easy to wash. Doesn't "trap" sand like all her bathing suits seem to do. Great fit, therefore the only "con" in my book - she'll quickly outgrow it. But, it was worth it.

Purchased 18 months for a 14 month and it fit perfectly. Since it was a little big, I did not have the problem that others did with it being short. This covered my babies legs completely. The only problem I had was when she got wet (ocean) it took a while to dry and made her cold. I had to take it off of her and wrap her in a towel while the suit dried. Other than that, it totally kept the sun off of her. She had No tan marks at all. I did also use sunblock and a hat. Will buy another for next summer

My daughter is on a medication that makes her sensitive to the sun. I purchased this for our beach trip to protect her. It is cute and lightweight. My only complaint is that the zipper comes up high on her neck and she is sometimes irritated by it.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Zip Suit:

I purchased a size larger than my son's age so he could grow into it. He is average in height, but the product was quite short in the legs for him. And it was too long in the arms.
Nonetheless, it provided good overall coverage for his first trip to the beach.

We got this suit for our 1 year old to wear to the beach. It's been fabulous! Not only does it keep the sand in the diaper to a minimum, but we only have to keep her head and face covered in sun block and we get tons of comments on how adorable she is toddling around the beach in her "big girl wet suit". The fabric is durable and the seams are very sturdy and yet our daughter has never been over heated in the suit which leads me to believe that the fabric is very breathable and perfect for summer days no matter the weather. We did go out one morning when it was cooler and she was very cold once she got wet, so we don't recommend it as a means of keeping babies warm in colder water, but it's great for keeping off the sun, sand and other beach or swimming woes you find with baby. Plus the 24m sized and below come with easy access leg snaps for quick diaper changes. Great Job OSA! We LOVE this product!!
