Comments about Henderson Thermoprene 3 mm Back Zipper Child's Shorty, Black/Pink:

My daughter is 4 years old, 34 lbs and 41 inches tall. I ordered size 2 even though she was at the top of the height scale. It was easy to put on and there is even room for her to grow in the groin area. She tried on her brother's size 4, and it could have worked, but thought this fit better, so if your not sure, I would go by weight, as the suit stretches beyond the height parameter. The more flexible thermoprene is definitey worth it vs. neoprene. I bought these for swimming in pools and waterparks because my children are skinny and often cold. Both of my kids say that they're warm and my daughters lips aren't blue anymore. It didn't restrict their movement at all, and infact helps their swimming because the suit is a bit boyant. I was worried it would get stuck on waterslides, but that wasn't an issue. I am glad to support a company in the USA that makes these quality suits.

We bought this suit for our five year old to use on a snorkeling trip in Cozumel. We were glad we did as the water was much cooler over the reef than on shore. The suit kept her warm. I'm sure she would have balked at the cool water without it. It appears to be well made. It was comfy and warm both in and out of the water. We will also be using it for boating and swimming in our local waters. It was easy for her to put on and take off.
