Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

I have been looking for a material swim cap for my daughter's delicate hair/head. Latex and silicone swim caps are tight and uncomfortable and snag her hair. This cap is well constructed, light, easy to put on and she doesn't even mind using it. Not to mention, it looks really cute. So happy I found it.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

Soooo cute! Looks adorable on. Is well made, soft, and comfortable. This is one sun hat that I'm sure will stay on. Easily adjusted with the back tie. Has also washed well. Colors are great.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

My daughters take weekly swim classes and their hair just doesn't stay in clips or ponytail holders...plus I see other girls with goggles and their delicate hair just gets pulled out and tugged. When my daughters' hair is in their eyes, it definitely distracts them. Swim caps are a terrific solution...reduces the chemicals in their hair, keeps their hair tangle-free and out of their eyes. Thanks for the cute flower and the tie in the back: it makes it a little more adjustable and a lot more stylish than the regular lycra swim caps!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

Smart idea. I believe that little heads need to be protected from sun rays in the water as well. My 4 year old daughter does not mind wearing this cute bandana-swim hat at all. It stays put during swimming, dries out fast and she looks absolutely adorable in it.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

I purchased this swimming cap for my grand-daughter to take swimming lessons in. She just loves it. She prances around in it, and will not go to her swimming lessons without it. It fits very secure on her head and stays on during her whole swimming lesson. I would definitely purchase another one. Good quality fabric also.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

This is EXCELLENT for our emerging swimmer! She has long hair (which she does not want cut)and does not like wearing a ponytail in the water. She gets frustrated/panicky when she puts her face in the water to swim but her hair is covering her face when she picks her head up. This was an EXCELLENT compromise/solution for us AND she loves that it makes her look like a girl-pirate...arrrgh matey! I also love that I don't have to put more sunscreen on her head to keep her fair skin protected. It is a win win for ALL of us! PLEASE continue to carry this product and if possible offer more options to coordinate with all swimsuits you offer. We are a forever customer!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

My daughter will wear this swim cap which is very unusual since she normally doesn't like hats or caps. It is very effective in keeping her hair out of eyes.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

I bought this for my 2.5 yr old daughter for a little extra protection from the sun while swimming and from the sand if we get to go to the beach. I usually corn row her hair for swimming/beach activities, but I feel the need to put sunscreen on her parts, which can be damaging and drying to her hair/scalp. I think this hat is going to be a good solution. It's adorable, and I love that it ties in the back, making very adjustable. It's a little big for her now, but should be able to fit lots of different hair styles under it. I think she'll be able to wear to next year too.
Love the style, love the SPF, love the adjustable tie in the back...wish it came in more color options.

Bought this for my daughter who attends swim classes. The material is easy to stretch over her head and does not latch on to her hair, making it painless to put on and take off.

Machine washable!!

Highly recommend!

Purchased for my fair hair and skinned 4 year old daughter for beach or pool use. Used in Florida 2x in Sarasota. Worked great, no head burns, fit was kind of snug but not uncomfortable she wore it the whole time. I would buy again. Need the adult version.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

Granddaughter is two years old has very thin hair and in order to protect head from the sun this is GREAT. Its easy to put on her and looks darling. I know this summer at the pool there will be many people inquiring about this for their child. It does not have to be used as a swim cap either. I highly recommend it. I am going to order one for my other grandchild who is 5 as I know she will love it too.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's Swim Hat:

My 2.5 year old daughter loves this hat, I was able to put it on her and she never complained! She has alopecia (hair loss) and I had no idea how I was going to keep her head protected in the sun! We spent an entire day at the pool while on vacation, and she never took it off. This hat is a life saver! and adorable on top of that! :)

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girls Uv Rash Guard Pink 12 Mos.:

Love that this is long! My daughter is very long waisted and fair skonned. we have a hard time finding swim suits that fit her. Love that we can get different size tops and bottoms! This rash guard looks much nicer than the ones I have got the past few years. Cant wait for her to wear it

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girls Uv Rash Guard Pink 12 Mos.:

I love ALL of the Sun Smarties products. They are well made, durable, easy to put on and off (even the squirmiest of children!) and easy to clean. The only thing that I find 'wrong' with them is that they tend to run small. While my 13 month old daughter's measurements fit within the range of the 18 month size, she's in the 90+ percentile for her height and weight. When the swim shirt arrived in the mail, it looked like it would barely cover half of her belly, so I had to return this and get the larger size. Therefore, if you have anything but a peanut for a child, order the bigger size. There's nothing worse that trying to take off a wet bathing suit off a child, never mind a bathing suit that is too small.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girls Uv Rash Guard Pink 12 Mos.:

Very cute and practical. Along with sunscreen provides added sun protection. Dries very quickly. Great for pool and splash pads!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girls Uv Rash Guard Pink 12 Mos.:

The service was fast - the item is a gift and won't actually be used for a couple more months - it is for warm sunny summer time fun - and right now there is a foot of snow on the ground - Sorry I cannot give a better review.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girls Uv Rash Guard Pink 12 Mos.:

I bought this for my daughter and we are BIG fans of sun smarties. They last far longer than other high-quality swimwear we have had in the past. This rash guard, in my opinion, fits true to size (maybe a smidge on the bigger end of the spectrum), and is very soft and comfortable. However, the light pink contrast stitching does not look the same in person as it does in the magazine. You can BARELY see any contrast stitching at all, especially from a distance. So if coordinating the swimwear pieces (with the light pink swim bottom in the pictures) perfectly is your goal, this one may not be for you. This doesn't bother me that much because I love LOVE the quality. Just thought I would mention it!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Girl's A-line Tankini Top Orange Dots 12 Mos.:

Bought the pink ruffle suit for my daughter including the swim diaper, tankini top, and rash guard. Love the suit overall! It looks adorable and is a good quality suit. The color was a bit brighter than I thought it looked in the pictures-was just thinking it would be a soft pink and it was more of a bright pink. I still love the color but it was just different from what I was expecting. Also, my daughter usually wears 18-24 mo. in clothing (sometimes smaller) so I thought a 24 mo. size suit would be a good fit. The rash guard size was perfect (even a little room to grow) but I had to exchange for a bigger tankini and swim diaper. Liked the adjustable straps on the tankini and everything seemed comfortable. Easy to put on and take off. We are planning to try it out at the beach this summer! Excited to enjoy it!

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

Great swim/beach shoe..this is our second year to buy and will continue to buy these year after year. The only negative is sizing. My daughter typically wears an 8.5-9 in regular shoes. I ordered a 10 in this shoe and she will probably need an 11 before summer is over.

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

We have bought these in almost every size as he grew! Best water shoes! Durable with a great thick sole.

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

Not just for water. Perfect for many uses!

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

My children have wide thick feet and finding any shoes that go on easily and fit comfortably is a challenge!! These shoes more than meet all our needs!!

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

Great for everyday or pool.

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

I have bought these shoes year after year for my kids. And will continue to do so.

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

My granddaughter wore them every day until the velcro ripped off. It just needs some stitches to repair but I am not that handy.

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

The watershoe is way too big. Will return and try to get the right size.

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

These are the perfect water play shoes! I first bought them because my son needed water play shoes for daycare that were not flip flops, but were also sturdy enough to run around on the playground when he wasn't playing in the water. We got our first pair when he was about 18months. He is now 5& 1/2 and he makes sure I order a new pair for him every summer!
We've also worn them at the lake where it's rocky and no one has complained of any boo boos! My 3 year old gets all the hand-me- downs and they're still in great shape!

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

I bought these last summer for my son and now recently ordered two more pairs, one for him and one of my toddler daughter. These are the perfect shoes for outdoor water play, which for us usually means the sprinklers in the park. The sole is truly non-skid, the fit is adjustable so they do stay put, and they coordinate perfectly with the Sun Smarties swimwear (which I also purchased). The sole actually seems sturdy enough that I imagine they could be used as a lightweight sneaker throughout the summer, if you wanted. Also, the sole is very flexible, so they have no trouble running and playing. For the price, I don't think you could find a better water shoe.

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

These shoes are cute and seem comfortable. They run a little small, so I would order a size up. Last year we ordered the slip on sock/shoe for the beach which I prefer, but they didn't carry them this year. These were the next best thing.

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

I like them. My son says they are comfortable. However they look like they run small go up a size

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

I bought both my kids these for our Aruba trip. They fit well and are easy to take off and on. They stay put during swim time. They do however let in some sand, which gave my children sores on they're baby toes. I thought the price couldn't be beat though.

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

Just received these in the mail and they are soft/comfortble and super cute on my son but they run very small. He currently wears a 10-10.5 shoe and they are big enough for growth so I bought the size 10 shoe thinking they would have some room to make it through the summer. When I put them on they fit his foot exactly. I'll have to exchange these for a larger size or they won't make it through the summer. Other than that I like them

Comments about Kid's Stay-put Swim Shoes Blue/navy 1 Little Kid:

For whatever reasons, my 2yr old and 3yr old are very picky when it comes to the shoes they wear on the beach. I took a chance and ordered these. They are fabulous and my kids are happy wearing them when we go to the beach.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought this for my toddler to be able to carry her stuff to the beach. She loves it! She fills it with her beach toys and carries it down to the beach like a big girl. It is so bright & fun. She loves that it has her name on it so it's all hers.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Love this bag! We've had it for two years now and use it all the time, it is a perfect size for my three year olds suit, rash guard and change of clothes. (Or pjs and blanket for a short visit to grandmas.)It also dries super fast, i do turn it inside out overnight. Love it so much I just ordered one for my one year old daughter!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Cute and a great value....

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Love the shark and flower print. The only thing that I didn't like is the bag is hard to open because the straps are wide and stiff. Love the personalization and I use it to carry each childs things and hang it on the umbrella stroller handles. Nice and light.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought this after reading the positive reviews, but was sorely disappointed when my child came home from swimming class with a bag that was wet on the outside, thus showing that it is not actually waterproof as the description claims. I am wondering now if I am not using it correctly and whether I can return it. It's too bad because it's such a great idea.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought this bag in the middle of July for my 4 year old son to bring his swim trunks, rash guard, towel and hat to daycare.Less than 2 months later the lining has ripped on both sides and along the bottom. It is a very cute bag, I had it personalized and that turned out great but I am extremely disappointed in the quality. I bought one for my nephew as a gift and I hope he doesn't have the same issues!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Do not get this item personalized. The material is not suited for embroidery. I ordered 2 bags, one for each of my kids. One bag turned out just ok but the other looks horrible. The material gathered at each letter and it looks messy and worn.. I was very disappointed that One Step Ahead sent this item in this condition. Unfortunately, when I called to resolve the issue, I was told the bag was out of stock. So now one child has a bag and one does not.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Cute, adorable bag. Very useful, but I wish it was much larger.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I got one for my 3 year old and one for my 5 year old. It was great.... they carried their own towels and beach coverups. I didn't have to lug everything to the beach myself.
I am actually thinking about ordering one for myself. ... great for the pool too! Just the right size.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I purchased this bag for my daughters for camp. It is a great design, holds all their stuff, but as the weeks went on the bag started to fall apart. The inside lining ripped and the stitching on the pocket came undone. I had to resew the entire bag by mid-July and we still have the whole month of August to get through.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought this to carry to the beach for my 3yr old son and boyfriends 5yr old daughter, I thought it was a nice size for their towel, sun screen, and a change of clothes. Its not too big for them to carry on their own but comfortably held everything they needed for the afternoon at the beach. Its lightweight and both colors are really cute.

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

These adorable bags are perfect for my two year old twin girls' summer camp. They have just enough room to hold their towels, bathing suit, swim diapers, change of clothes, etc. Durable material sure to stand up to daily use. Excellent value!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I bought the pink one for our daughter and the sharks one for our son. They have swim day twice a week at school and I was looking for a functional, yet cute swim bag to hold their wet items throughout the day once they were done swimming. This bag seemed thin, but it makes sense as it needed to be able to let the items dry. LOVE that you can personalize it, which makes it easy for the teachers at school!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

I use this bag at the beach and at the pool. My three year old carries it himself and it's so easy to clean!

Comments about One Step Ahead Sun Smarties Swim Bag Green:

Great for transporting my 5 year old's swim lesson gear - towel, change of clothes & goggles. Love that it is water resistant and machine washable. Very cute as well. Only complaint is the sholder straps are a bit small and difficult to adjust.
