One-piece swimsuits are better wrapped to prevent your baby from falling off with activity, and they also wrap diapers better. If you're training in the pot, pick a split swimsuit, such as rash vest and swim shorts. These are easier to pull down and up when your little one needs to use the potty. But before taking your newly trained toilet child to the pool or water park, there are no swimming diapers, think again. All the excitement and distractions can easily lead to accidents.

White and blue shades will make it harder to spot your child in the water, while bright and neon shades of green, purple, red, and orange are easier to see. And all materials should be fixed and not easy to fall off, such as shoulder straps, bows, etc. falling off is easy to cause unnecessary damage to the baby.
