Splash About Children's Float Suit with Adjustable Buoyancy

These are the best suits for learning to swim! give them just the right amount of added bouyancy. NOT a lifesaving device. They need to move around with their arms or legs to keep their head out of the water. They do not hold up well if you leave them sitting outside. Must bring in to dry or they will start to rip apart.

i love how its a swimsuit and not just a vest or something the kid has to take on or off. our friends who have floatation vests tell us that their kids just yanks it off or cries when in it because they think its cumbersome or once in the water the water displaces the vest and doesn't make it comfortable for the kids at all. this swimsuit doesn't do that at all. baby girl is completely comfortable in it and actually, when she sees it in her dresser, she grabs it and tells us to put it on her as she tries to bolt out the door towards the pool. some of the reviews say because of the way the floaters are laid out, its hard for their kid to swim because they either have to be flat on their back or on their belly, but our 21 month old can actually wade in the pool on her own vertically. it actually helps her learn to float and determine where her center of balance is in order to stay afloat. also, our girl is only 23 pounds and this was one of the few suits that she can actually wear since most require kids to be 30 pounds

We love this float suit! It allows my child to learn how to use her arms to swim but also have some buoyancy until she learns to tread water better. We used to use puddle jumpers but because it restricted arm movements we wanted a switch. I like that you can remove little float bars until they’re confident enough to swim without a float.

This brought out a new confidence in my daughter! She swims all by herself with it. She is learning to swim and this gives her the ability to swim without me holding her. I only wrote it was smaller because I bought a size up so my daughter will still be able to wear it in the summer. My daughter is petite for a 2yo and the 3T size fits her perfectly. The quality of the suit is amazing for the price.

I really like this swim suit. It fit my 2 year old good and is the average sized 2 year old. It may be a little small for a 3 year old. There are foam pieces that surround the suit to help the toddler float. In each section there are two small pieces of foam and they are removable. Not easy enough for the toddler to do by themselves though. We removed one out of each to try and help kiddo learn to swim. With just one in each, it does not keep head out of the water but does prevent out toddler from sinking completely. Do not depend on this to keep your child afloat on its own. I do recommend this to parents that are teaching their baby to swim and is directly hands on the child. I do not recommend this to parents that want to keep their child's head above water without supervision and who are more than arms length away.

The size “1-2” does not fit my grand daughter, who is 17 months old and less than 15kg. Very disappointed. It is a nice suit, cute, well made, but way too small.

If you read the negative reviews, it seems like people expected this to be a basic floating device - this is not so! If you’re looking for swim thing that just keeps your child afloat and doesn’t challenge them, look elsewhere. If you have the desire to actually have your child begin to learn some basics about swimming and want them to be independent, get this! We got our first suit last year and put our daughter in at the age of 10 months. After a few adjustments with the styrofoam, we got it to the right weight to keep her bobbing. It took her a few trips to the pool before she figured out how to balance by herself. By one she was “swimming” in it by herself and we could be a few feet away from her. Awesome product to give swimming independence.

When we first got this float suit it fit perfect and we were thrilled with how well it worked. However, after about a month of using it 2-3 time a week it stretched to about 2 sizes larger. We now have to tie the shoulder straps together at the back to fit properly. The bottom of the suit is also larger but it seems to be working ok although I'm a little uneasy with the fit. We bring it inside to hang dry so it's not left out in the sun. That being said, we are still going to try another one in a different color and are hoping the size holds up longer. I really wanted to give this a 5 star review and will update my review after we receive and try the second one. I wondering if anyone else had this issue.

Super praktisch. Schwimmen lernen mit Armfreiheit und der Möglichkeit einzelne Elemente zu entnehmen um langsam von der Schwimmhilfe zu entwöhnen! Top !

Great alternative to the vest options or ring & armbands, we’ve only ever used these on our three kids, no worrying about them slipping out of the rings or armbands, leaves their arms free to work on their strokes & you can remove the floats one at a time when they become more confident swimming and no longer need and aiding! The fit is great and it lasts and wears well

Quality not so great. Parts easily get lost.

Definitely worth the money. My 4 year old daughter loves it. She now swims without any foam. It’s really easy to reduce them.

Perfetto, ho preso questo costume che cercavo da tanto in quanto 30 anni fa ce l’aveva mio fratello e lo trovammo di un’utilità assurda, per questo dopo una lunga ricerca l’ho comprato per mia figlia che ha quasi due anni, che dire, lo adora è meno impacciata rispetto al salvagente o ai braccioli che adesso non vuole più utilizzare, più libera nei movimenti ed è ottimo per apprendere a galleggiare, imballaggio e tempi di spedizione ottimi.
