Baby Girls' Rash Vests
A baby girl rash vest is a close-fitting top worn in the water, covering her chest, back, shoulders and arms at the pool or on the beach. MINOTI makes them for girls from newborn to 24 months, for holidays, baby swimming lessons and paddling pools in the garden. Fabric and fastening details vary by style, so check each product page before you buy.
Rash vests are meant to sit close to the body so they do not fill with water, so pick her current size rather than one to grow into. Baby sizes go by length in centimetres: newborns take 56 cm, a baby girl rash vest for 0-3 months is usually 62 cm, and for 3-6 months it is 68 cm. Pair it with a swim nappy and bottoms, or pull it over a swimming costume for extra cover.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's baby girl rash vests are close-fitting swim tops that cover the shoulders and arms for girls from newborn to 24 months, and a baby girl rash vest for 12-18 months is usually 86 cm.
What size rash vest does a 6- to 12-month-old baby girl need?
A baby girl rash vest for 6-12 months is 74 cm from 6 to 9 months and 80 cm from 9 to 12 months. If she is long for her age, go by her length rather than her age, as a rash vest should fit closely.
How should I wash a baby girl's rash vest after swimming?
Rinse it in fresh water straight after every swim to remove chlorine and salt, then wash it as the care label says. For a week away with a baby under 12 months, packing two lets one dry while she wears the other.
