Our instructor at Safe t swim said not to do the swim vest, that it prohibits them learning how to swim even though they promote learning how to swim on the packaging. He suggested the arm swimmies. We have that float too and an infant life jacket for the boat.

Re: Swimming pool Safety

I had the exact thing you have above and used it alone with both my kiddies when they were younger....they never tipped it was great! I was never more than a arm's length away from them when we did use it!

It is great tube and love that it travels so compact!

Re: Swimming pool Safety

I would think that would be fine as long as someone is always in the pool watching the baby like a hawk- as I am sure you will be.

Re: Swimming pool Safety

Thanks Ladies. I can't wait to see DS in the pool. we had him in it last year but he was only 3 months. While he loved it i think he might like it more now.
