Happy Nappy Wetsuit or Baby Wrap?

Similarities

Both will keep baby warm whilst swimming

Made from soft neoprene for maximum comfort

UPF 50+ maximum sun protection

Differences

Happy Nappy Wetsuit includes full Happy Nappy to prevent faecal leaks. The Baby Wrap has no Happy Nappy included, this will need to be bought separately

Wetsuit covers the full body, including full cover across the shoulders and arms. The Baby Wrap provides core body warmth, leaving legs and arms free.

Conclusion

The Happy Nappy Wetsuit offers a 2-in-1 solution without the need for additional nappy protection. It will keep baby warm in the water but is more restrictive due to the
sleeves. The Baby Wrap is less restrictive as it keeps arms and legs free, allowing baby to really feel the water and move about comfortably. It provides core body warmth which allows baby to regulate their own
body temperature. Additional Happy Nappy is required.

Happy Nappy Costume or Happy Nappy Wetsuit?

Both include Full Happy Nappy - no requirement for any other swim nappy to be worn

Both made from high-quality materials and available in all the same designs

Differences

Happy Nappy Wetsuit is designed to provide extra warmth. Happy Nappy Costume does not provide extra warmth

Happy Nappy Wetsuit is made fully of neoprene. Happy Nappy Costume has neoprene nappy but Nylon/Elastane top

Wetsuit provides UPF 50+ maximum sun protection across the back and shoulders

Wetsuit has an easy-to-use zip-opening back

Happy Nappy Costume gives more freedom of movement to the arms

Conclusion

The Happy Nappy Costume is perfect for indoor swimming as it offers full leak protection and the nylon/elastane top is chlorine resistant. It is pretty and
comfortable to wear. However, the Happy Nappy Wetsuit provides full neoprene body coverage. This means it provides extra
warmth in the water and full sun protection across the neck and shoulders. If you’re looking to take your baby on a summer holiday and splash about in the sea, the Happy Nappy Wetsuit is the swimming costume for you.

Happy Nappy Costume or Baby Wrap?

Both are made from soft, high quality material

Both available in the same designs

Similar in price

Differences

The Baby Wrap is designed to provide extra warmth to babies in the pool. The Happy Nappy Costume does not provide extra warmth

The Happy Nappy Costume incorporates a full Happy Nappy for faecal leak protection. The Baby Wrap does not, this would need to be bought separately.

The Baby Wrap is full neoprene so gives full sun protection. The Happy Nappy Costume has nylon/elastane top, its tradtional swimsuit style is less protective from the sun

Conclusion

Both choices are great for Baby Swimming. If you are more worried about accidents in the pool, the Happy Nappy Costume is ideal as no other under-nappy is required. If your baby needs a bit more coverage or doesn't like to be pulled about, the Baby Wrap is the ideal choice as it opens completely flat and makes changing fuss-free, whilst providing core body warmth in the pool.
