Baby Boys' Swim Shorts
Baby boy swim shorts from MINOTI come in sizes for newborns up to 24 months, for his first trips to the pool, the beach and the garden paddling pool. Most pools ask for a swim nappy underneath, and the shorts go on over the top. On bright days, pair them with a sun hat and a long-sleeved rash vest, and keep a hooded towel ready for afterwards.
Swim shorts are cut a little longer than trunks, and for babies both go over a swim nappy. Pick by his height rather than his age: baby boy swim shorts for 0-3 months are usually 62 cm, and baby boy swim shorts for 3-6 months are 68 cm. If he sits between two sizes, go up, as the nappy underneath adds bulk. Rinse out chlorine or salt water after each swim and check the care label before washing.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's baby boy swim shorts are swim shorts for boys aged 0 to 24 months, worn over a swim nappy and sized in centimetres by height, where a baby of 6 to 9 months usually takes 74 cm.
What size are baby boy swim shorts for 6-12 months?
Choose 74 cm for 6 to 9 months and 80 cm for 9 to 12 months. If he is long for his age or between sizes, go up one, since the swim nappy underneath takes up some room.
Can baby boys wear swim shorts as everyday shorts?
Yes, on a hot day they work as ordinary shorts over a normal nappy, which is handy at the beach. For a 1-year-old, baby boy swim shorts in 12-18 months are 86 cm, so one pair covers splash play and the walk home.
