Aqua SwimSchool Inflatable Tot Trainer Pool Float with Adjustable Strap, Ages 2-4, 25-37 lbs, Blue

I was very skeptical about this product at first. I needed a floaty for my 1 yr old, because he loves being in water and wants to jump out of my arms, but he's still too little for a puddle jumper. This was amazing. Obviously you still need to be within arms reach, because he's a baby, but he can swim on his own. Took a little trial and error at first, he would bend too far and stick his face in the water, or roll around like a wheel, but by the end he got the hang of it and took off like a rocket. It was sometimes hard keeping up with him! I think it's a wonderful tool to use if your child is too independent to stay in your arms, but too small to use other life jackets. The ring stayed nice and inflated, no deflating. Only thing I wish is that the strap that goes between his legs was a little wider, it started digging into him a bit by the end.

This is a really awesome float for toddler's who can't swim yet. It's easy to put on and take off. It provides enough security to keep my toddler afloat and her head above water. We've tried a swimming vest but it didn't keep her head up and it would dunk underwater - not fun! With this float, it keeps my child safe and secure and makes her feel confident that she wont go underwater. The only thing I didn't like about this is that the straps on the bottom that goes in between her legs can get pretty uncomfortable- giving her huge wedgy. I wish there was some sort of padding to prevent that. For now, we just put a swimming diaper on her (even though she's potty trained) so that it doesn't rise up and hurt her in that area. Otherwise, this has been the best option for her to swim in. We are happy with it. She is happy with it.
