Biki or 1-piece?

2becomes3

I want to start buying up all of the cute swimsuits for my 7 months old for the beach this summer, and I'm wondering what type of swimsuit is best.  The 2-piece suits are so cute, but will they be falling off?  The 1-piece suits seem more practical...unless she poops and has to be changed and I have to take off the entire sandy suit.  Thoughts?

We've always bought 2 pieces for dd just because it's easier to change her diaper in a 2 piece.

I have a son, so swim trunks, rash guard and a hat it will be for him.

I don't know how I feel about bikinis on baby girls. I'm not a prude or anything, but I just think from a sun protection factor (as Sookie said) and a being a bit conservative with your infant (you just don't know who's out there), I would go for a one-piece for a baby.

I got DD this one and it was easy to get on and off for diaper changes.

I buy 1 pieces for my girls.  I'm modest like that though.  My mom bought SD4 a 2 piece last summer and of course she loved it and I let her wear it but I'm still not sure I feel very strongly toward letting little girls strut around in a 2 piece suit.

From a purely convenience standpoint, two-pieces make diaper changes much easier.  I have no problem with two pieces as long as the top is tank-style as opposed to triangle-top.

I am a bit conservative when it comes to infants or young children for that matter and swim suits. I want my baby in a one piece or at least a tankini (I think that's what there called) where the top is more of a shirt and you don't see any belly

If I can find a tankini style, I will get that. I definitely want the convenience of a two piece for diaper changes. I also plan on getting a giant umbrella for LO to sit under.

I tried to order a rash guard + swim skirt yesterday on Zulily and had zero luck. Sadness.  

That's my ideal, though.  Two pieces make diaper changes way easier, but her belly will be covered either by a rash guard or a tankini.

I agree with this. As of right now we have 2 one piece suits for her, but I've got my eyes peeled for a tankini too.

I completely agree with this.

C has a mix of both. I have heard diaper changes are better in a 2 piece as well.

I got her a 2-piece rash guard set from Old Navy.  I wanted the 2 piece for convenience of diaper changes, and the rash guard acutally protects more skin than a one piece.  This is what I got:

Thanks for the link!  I hadn't started looking, but this is adorable.
