For the past couple weeks in the Friday sales, coupons and discount post I’ve highlighted the website BabySunWear.com because of the amazing prizes on Protect-A-Bub swimwear. I had the opportunity to review a Protect-A-Bub sunshade a couple months ago and assumed the swimwear would be of the same quality making the $9 two-piece swimsuit a steal. (And, frankly, $9 swimsuit for a crappy swimsuit is a steal, but Protect-A-Bub suits were $25 – $29.)
I was excited to try out the swimsuit for ourselves to see if it was all I expected. Naturally, I was right and the swimsuit is great. Toddler Boy received the two piece Sun Protective Swim Suit in Navy and Yellow.
The suit fits a bit different than his other bathing suits, and I attribute that to the fact that all the suits are gender-neutral. The bottoms are more euro-style, if you know what I mean, and if you don’t that means they are more fitted. (Oh, I could tell stories about the bathing suits I’ve seen men wear in Germany.) In fact, the bottoms are a bit tight around his diaper so if you are between sizes or unsure, I would order up.

June 13, 2009I bought each of my boys the exact same suit (you can see it on my blog right now in another view post). I really like them for the boys. I suggest them!
