Help! Where to buy Baby Wetsuit?!

Hi

Where is the best/cheapest place to buy a baby wetsuit?

Found some on the web but I am buying it as a gift so somewhere on the high street would be preferrable incase it needs returning.

The only shop I can think of is Mothercare.

Thanks! :rotfl:

    A wetsuit for a baby? Are you thinking of taking the baby diving?
    Sorry, but I've never heard of these, do they do such things?

    It is only for using at a swimming pool and mainly to keep them warm!:rotfl:.

    I wanted gift for my pregnant friend that wasn't something that they have probably got given already. She loves going swimming and not many people realise that babies can start going swimming pretty much straight away! I can't post a link but google waterbabies and all will become clear :rotfl:
  • Not on the highstreet but have you looked at SplashAbout.net? I bought my son a float jacket and goggles from there recently and their customer service is excellent. The wetsuits I have seen other babies wearing are from there and they are reccomended by many baby swimming classes.

    I got my son's whilst on holiday, from a seaside surf shop. I don't know where you live, but have you tried Decathlon?

    Try asking local dive centres? A pretty popular supplier is a company called Beaver - they do wetsuits in all shapes and sizes.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    SAINSBURYS had some little baby ones in locally here. they were so cute, but it was more like a body suit the arms and legs were still not covered.

    That would be better anyway, as they would like the movement, if the arms and legs were covered it would restrict a baby quite a lot.
