Reviews are not accurate as they are for the old quality suits not new cheapo suits
CURRENT REVIEW APRIL 2015:
This is one forth suit. I have two boys ages 6 and 8 and the old style suits were exceptional quality. My 6 year old is wearing the suit that my old sun grew out of and, although the colors faded, the suit functions if it were brand new. I love it.
Since my old boy grew out of his suit, we got him a replacement suit. I immediately noticed the difference. The company is trying to cut their costs down and started to cut corner on quality. The stitching is bad, the zipper is terrible. The first new style suit zipper broke on our 3rd swim so I ordered another suit (it was out of the 30 day warranty window, so I had to pay out of pocket). The new suit's zipper broke on the second swim. Terrible. See pictures for comparison of old vs new suit. I wish the company stayed with their original quality product. The reviews you see are no longer accurate. One star here. I have two just because of my good experience with the prior style.
PRIOR REVIEW FOR OLD STYLE WUALITY SUITS GIVEN BACK IN 2011 OR SO:
I did a lot of research on Amazon, reading customer reviews, and, ultimately, picked this suit for my 4- and 6-year olds. I got sizes 4 and 6. The suits were just a little too big for them. We had these suits for over a year now and I think I will need to buy larger sizes soon. My 7-year old had more swim lessons, so the blue started to fade. Other than that, the suits still look like new. Keep my kids warm during their swim lessons and look great! If you have a kid who is cold during his swimming lessons, this is a must have. From my research, this is the thickest suit out there for kids. And, again, very stylish too!
