This was a gift for my one year old nephew. It is really cute, and he loves it. It is sturdy enough for him to float in comfortably and enjoy the pool with mom and dad. see less

I bought this for my almost three year old for the lake and pool and he loves it but the main reason I wanted it was for the shade protection and the canopy hangs too low for him to see so we just usually leave it deflated. It works good for our 6 month old though. see less

When my 19 lb 1 year old was in this raft no matter how tight you blew it up the top would come down over him just a little too far. I would recommend getting one without a top and getting the child to wear a hat. It does float fine and it was cute for his car themed birthday party.We live at the beach, I would not recommend for the ocean. Too Bulky! see less

We got these for our 3 yr old and 5 yr old and love it. Unlike like other tools that limits their arm movements, this functions like the floating belt my kids use in swimming classes. WIth this, my kids feel comfortable moving on their own in the swimming pool/beach and we parents feel comfortable letting them having fun in the pool/beach with us near by. my kids just started learning swimming and can't really swim far without any support. With this, they can go couple laps without problem. Like other viewers mentioned, this is not a life vest so you should still keep an eye on your child. see less

These are great for any parent who wants their child to learn to swim. My oldest daughter learned to swim within 2 years of having this and now my youngest daughter can now swim without hers at age 6. I have purchased one for my granddaughter. These are well worth the money.. see less

My daughter and I've used ... see more

My daughter and I've used this product with her for a number of years. She is very independent and this item helps her achieve the level of independence with which she lives her everyday life. With the help of this item, she's learned to doggy paddle, swim forward, backward and this year is able to swim under the water (granted, only about an inch, but still...).For myself, I feel more confident that my child is learning to swim in a "safe" manner. I plan on buying a bigger size as she won't be able to touch in our pool for a few more years. see less

I love this product for my 2 year old! She is able to run around and jump in the pool without me having to hold her. She is fairly competent in water, but this swimmer eases my mind. A good idea is to let some air out when you want your child to be more challenged. see less

I purchased this item on ... see more

I purchased this item on a recommendation from someone who used it 15 years ago. My daughter is 20 months and has taken swim lessons since she was 9 months old. This year she was too big to fit in a baby tube. She loves the water and I wanted something she could be a bit independent in. This was perfect!! My daughter has the freedom to swim and play and I don't have to hold her. She can still tip forward easily so it took her a little while to figure that out. I definitely would never leave her unattended or too far from where I am. I highly recommend this tube for any child who loves the water and has a little understanding of how to swim. see less

I love it as much as my child does! she was 18months last year when she started to use it and it took a couple of times for her to figure out how to use it.. when they are that small they need to learn to balance them selfs... now she gots it and loves it! They get so independant and I think that will help with training how to swim. She will be two in march and we went swimming last weekend and she did so well with it.. loves it! I'm going to buy more for my guest at my house in the summer since I have a pool! see less

We had bought this for our 16 month old daughter - we went on a vacation to Florida and it was perfect for her to swim with us in the pools and the lazy river at the resort. It was nice having the canopy covering her and she loved every minute! Great buy! see less

The elephant is nice and wide to provide a steady base in the water. I have 3 granddaughters ages 23 months, 15 months and 17 months and they love the elephants and seem to feel comfortable and safe in them. Even on our lake with waves from boats, the elephants bob around and we have had no incidents where we felt like they were in danger of tipping over. The canopy is large enough to provide shade for them as well. Online at Target was the best price I found while searching the web for this item. see less

I purchased this for my grand-daughter Ella's 1st Birthday. That's why we call it the Ella-phunt pool toy. :-)) Of course we haven't used it yet as it is the 1st of May in Ind., but I'm sure she will have a great time in it. Love the little roof over the top to help shade her from too much sun exposure. see less

This is an adorable float, perfect for my 9 month old! It was easy to get her in and out and it seemed very safe. Being on the younger end of the age span I was worried the leg holes might be too wide but they were not, it didn't seem like there would be any way she could slip through. The only reason for giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is that the dolphin tale is a lot lower than what the picture shows, it was rubbing against my daughters head so I can only imagine as she gets older that would get annoying. However we were able to tuck the tale behind the blue head rest and that worked just fine (we were in an indoor pool so didn't need to worry about the sun). see less

Our 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter loves this vest. It completely holds her up in the water. She can dog paddle all the way across the pool with it on. She asks for wear it. Very and easy to get on. see less

I ordered this for my two year old daughter before we went to the lake this summer. I was worried she would not want to wear a life jacket. She loves Dora and when she saw it she could not wait to put it on. She wore it around all weekend. It is good quality and does the job plus appealing to young girls. see less

We got three of these suits last year for our boys 4-7 yrs old. It makes them more confident in the water, and helps me keep a hand on each of them without having to support all their weight. Our 6 yr old will now swim anywhere in the pool in his suit. I like that they are full coverage, too, to help protect them from the sun. We are still having some trouble transitioning past the suit for our oldest, but I'm not worried, he'll get there... see less

I ordered 2 suits for my 5 yr old twins. When I got to our local pool, they told me my kids weren't allowed to wear these suits since they are not coast guard approved. After begging them to let us in just this time, my boys swam with the suits on. I was surprised when I took them into deeper water and the suits did not keep them above the water. see less

This is the cutest shade floatie but it sprung a leak early in use. The flower is cute and its provides shade to the small child but it got a hole in it early on. May have come with it I can't remember? see less

I love the Puddle Jumper life jackets for my kids. I needed one for my youngest that he wouldn't slip out of. He's a little below the recommended weight, but it worked well for him. see less

I bought this float 7 years ago and it has been used well each and every summer since! It was still in great condition after all this time and still being used however in a moment of rush I sadly left it at a local pond where some lucky soul found it and quickly adopted it. My one year old loves this float so I am getting another identical to the first. My boys love that they can reach the water to play and I love that they don't have to stretch to do so. It is very sturdy and very comfortable for the kids. Great buy!!!! see less

I originally bought this with my 1 year old in mind. She loves to sit in it and work her way around the pool. My son, 3.5, also loves it. He calls it his boat and likes to ram into people. : ) Great product and love the ease and portability! see less

I bought this float because my son (who is 22 months) because he kept tipping over his other float. This float actually allows him to lean forward, splash the water (thanks to the mesh), and kick his legs as if he were swimming. It is very sturdy! As long as all of the chambers are inflated properly, it's very hard for a baby to tip this over. This design is genius. see less

We bought the Poolmaster Whale Baby Seat Float specifically because we wanted our 8-month-old to enjoy the pool experience with his older brother, while being protected from the sun.The only drawback is that his weight is not substantial enough to "hold back" the tail, which acts as the umbrella. So it was flopping over and whacking him in the back of the head.Ultimately, we deflated the tail and put a hat on the baby and everything worked out. When he gains a little more weight (2-3 pounds), we will try again with the tail.And that's the tale of the tail. see less

For a nylon style lifejacket, this one is perfect. We plan to take it to the cabin for everyone to use - the adjustable straps make it easy to fit and the price makes it even better! see less
