Is there a back zipper? How do you get this on a toddler? Also, do you find it warm enough? The Pacific Ocean is very cold!

It has a zipper up the back with a long tab. We used it for Mexico and the water caves that are shaded. It will be much warmer than a swim suit and rash guard shirt but if the water is really cold- you may want to get a full wet suit. This one was is a great value.

Yes there is a back zipper and a small velcro tab at the top of the zipper to stop the zipper opening on the neck. We find the wetsuit to be enough for our son when he is in the pool and he concentrates better because he is not shivering. The wet suit gives a little added buoyancy as well

Yes, there is a back zipper. It's pretty easy. My daughter steps into the legs while holding onto my shoulders and then we pull it up together. It's warm for her but I don't know how cold the Pacific Ocean is

Look very carefully....it's there. True story...I couldn't find it either and asked someone to put an opening in it for me. She very carefully opened a seam on the bottom and attached Velcro strips to close it. THEN she found the zipper...a very fine zipper that's up a few inches from one of the edges. I felt really dumb! I'm glad you asked... I wasn't smart enough to do that! :-)

The hood it's not removable and on the second question: depends how cold it is. It's very comfortable and good on windy weather and 0+ degrees. On minus degrees you need some fleece or something like that.

Hi Marie, Sorry no zipper, I did get one with a zipper once but I think they found that it wasn't a necessary feature. The nice thing I discovered about the Pillow case that I bought separately, is it has an inside flap to hold the pillow tightly with in the pillow case. Sean.

Zipper is from neck to top of the butt. My daughter requires help to get on and off. (She is 5) snug fit which I like because it keeps her warm in the cold pool.

It's the same as taking it off when wet on a adult. Timing wise it's much faster cuz kids are smaller. The zipper goes down to the tail bone. I'm happy with it. Protects her from the sun and keeps her warm.

My husband is on his second one of these. He has never said anything about the zipper being in the way. He actually wanted me to buy him one just like his first one.

The zipper is hidden, on the back about a quarter of the way down from the top you'll find a small flap. It took me awhile too. But you'll find it!

Yes it is warmer but I haven't noticed my kiddos getting too hot in it...unless we end up co sleeping in the middle of the night. Usually when I use the sleep sack I don't do a blanket sleeper and then the fleece sack. I go for something a little thinner and lightweight and then the fleece. If I put a blanket sleeper on I just opt out of the sleep sack...or I just put a long sleeve onesie on under it all. Hope this helps!

Amazon sent me an email to answer this and I can't but I can say that the wetsuit is thick enough to work. We went to lake Michigan this summer and the water was very cold (I never went in) but my incredibly wussy, wimpy daughter did and was warm enough in it! :)

There is only 1 zipper. It is relatively quiet if you zip slowly. I would put in my sleeping baby, and then zip it. Each time, she would definitely stir, but then fall asleep within a few sec/min.

We are currently using it right now. I think our baby does get a little warm with it on. We typically put her to bed in the suit and a onsie. With the air conditioner, she wakes up with sweaty feet and clammy skin, but doesn't complain when wearing it. In fact, she won't sleep at all without it.

Yes, there is a velcro opening of about 2-3 inches that makes it easy to get on or off. It also has a handwarmer area on the back like human sweatshirts! Cute!!!

There are vents up top that are always open and the windows in the front can stay rolled up for additional airflow. My daughter has been sleeping in hers for 4 months now and she loves it. There are no zippers. The door stays closed by two velcro squares. One in the middle of the door and one at the bottom of the door. Hope this helps!

Put a safety pin/paper clip through the zipper hole. This becomes a handle to pull the zipper. It's design this way so babies can't undo the zippers and play w. the padding material.

My son is 2.5yrs and can only do the zipper. But the buttons are big and I assume he'll grow into it more. I'd say 3-5yrs is optimal.

Hi Lisa, this protector doesn't have a zipper. It has an elastic band to cinch around, or beneath, your mattress, depending on your mattress' height. If there's anything else we can do for you, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to your feedback! Best, Nancy Deneve - Co-Founder
