Our Analysis

Here is the fun-in-the-sun outfit that will protect your baby's entire body from harmful ultraviolet sunrays. Made with their proprietary Sun Protective aqua SUNTECT® Polyester (with a rated UPF of 50+), Coolibar has produced a very stretchy yet comfortable outfit that not only keeps the sun and both salt and chlorinated water from damaging your child, but itself as well; it's even easy to put on and take off with its front snap neckline and snap-close bottom for quick diaper changes.

We are especially impressed with the aqua SUNTECT® fabric for its UVA- and UVB-protective, lightweight, quick-drying and long-lasting qualities. As baby's face, hands and feet are still exposed to the sun when wearing this full body suit, we recommend using toxin-free sunscreen, sunglasses and a sunhat for further protection.

The Coolibar UPF 50+ Kid's Infant Beach Romper is available in three styles (Turtles, Flora Lei, and Tropical Violet) and in four sizes (6, 12, 18 and 24 months).
