Okay, let’s face it. There is absolutely nothing cuter than toddler swimsuits. Ever since I had my first baby, summer has been my favorite season – also known as chubby legs and bulging bellies sticking out of adorable bathing suits season. See, as moms, we spend a lot of time thinking about what we’re wearing to the beach, but really, all eyes are on those waddling, giggling, shoveling little cuties in their kids’ swimwear.
From mass retailers to the handmade set, I don’t discriminate. Gimme the toddler swim and gimme ALL of it. Two-pieces, ruffles, rash guards, and beyond. And boys no longer get the fashion shaft thanks to a growing market for stylish swim trunks he’ll love.
Since the weather is heating up, and you’re bound to be spending time at the beach and/or pool with the kids, here are 12 seriously cute swimsuits for toddler boys and girls:
