About

Platypus Australia manufactures and wholesales an exciting, high quality range of fashionable sun safe swimwear for:
Babies 6 months-18 months, Kids 2-8 years old and Youth
10-14 years old.

Platypus Australia was formed in 1996 by two mothers who had firsthand experience with applying suntan lotion to kids-on-the move! They realised that there was a demand for products that would protect children from the sun's damaging rays and still be comfortable and cool.

Since 1996 Platypus Australia has grown rapidly in the UK and is now expanding in Europe, Asia and the US market. Platypus Australia reflects the Australian outdoor lifestyle of surf, sun and sea in its strong colours, striking prints and active design. Platypus Australia is designed and made in Australia, Hong Kong and China. Products are licensed under ARPANSA's UPF 50+ Certification Scheme, providing MAXIMUM SUN PROTECTION.
