Baby Boys' Rash Vests
A baby boy rash vest is a close-fitting, stretchy top worn in the water to keep his chest, back and shoulders covered. Pair it with a swim nappy and trunks or shorts for baby swimming lessons, the paddling pool or a week at the seaside. The snug fit means it stays in place when he splashes about or crawls on wet sand. The sizes run from newborn to 24 months.
Some shops call this a rash guard or swim T-shirt, but it is the same close-cut garment. Choose his usual clothing size, as a rash vest should sit snugly and loose fabric drags in the water. A baby boy rash vest for 0-3 months is size 62 cm. After each swim, rinse it in cool fresh water to get rid of chlorine or salt, then check the care label before it goes in the wash.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sells baby boy rash vests, close-fitting tops for swimming and the beach, for boys aged 0 to 24 months in height-based sizes, and a baby boy rash vest for 12-18 months is size 86 cm.
Which size rash vest does a baby boy aged 6-12 months need?
Take 74 cm from 6 to 9 months and 80 cm from 9 to 12 months. If he is long for his age or between sizes, go by his height rather than his age. The fit should be snug but not tight across the chest.
What does a baby boy wear with a rash vest at 3-6 months?
Pair it with a swim nappy, with trunks or swim shorts on top if you like. At 3-6 months he usually takes 68 cm. The rash vest covers his top half, so add a sun hat for the beach.
