I. Differences Between Rash Guard Sets and One-Piece Sunsuits
1. Rash Guard Set
* Covers arms and upper body for enhanced outdoor sun protection
* Separate bottoms allow older children to use the restroom independently
* High freedom of movement for running, jumping, sand play, and water activities
* Suitable age: Preschoolers and older children (3–8 years)
* Ideal scenarios: Beaches, outdoor pools, outdoor sports, water parks
2. One-Piece Sunsuits
* High coverage
* One-piece design minimizes shifting during movement
* Enables quick diaper changes
* Suitable age: Infants to toddlers (3–36 months)
* Ideal for: Indoor pools, short outdoor water play, infant swim classes
II. Which is best for your baby?
1. Infants 3–36 months → One-Piece Swimwear
Requires diaper changes, limited mobility
* Baby has delicate skin, sensitive to sun and cold
* One-piece UPF 50+ covers more body areas
* Reduces sand ingress and prevents cuff rolling

* Quick-drying and breathable
* Non-stifling and non-irritating to skin
* Good elasticity, form-fitting without tightness
4. Durability
* Chlorine-resistant + saltwater-resistant
