Questions & Answers
The fabric can be found both inside and out! 😊
There are two of them. They're very nice because they're covered in fabric.
When inflated, this is a fantastic product that provides excellent floatation. To determine whether or not something is appropriate for an 11-year-old, consider the child's size and weight. You won't be able to fill the arm bands with enough air to provide floatation if your arms are too large. They may obstruct circulation and make it more difficult to put on and remove the arms if they are too tight. When my grandson was two years old, I purchased them for him. He has been wearing them for the past two summers. They'll probably fit until he's six years old, in my opinion. His t-shirt appears to be average to slightly larger than average. If that helps, the shirt size for a 3-year-old is 3T.
Selected User Reviews For Speedo Kids' Begin to Swim Vinyl Basic Arm Bands
It's the perfect size for my 5-year-old daughter. Other reviewers complained that they were too big, but this is most likely due to their ignorance of the fact that each arm float has two inflatable bladders. If you inflate one, it will be too big for an adult, but if you inflate both, they will be suitable for children. FYI. My child is extremely frail, and they were far too tight when fully inflated. It was necessary to release some of the trapped air. br>br>According to other reviews, inflating them is impossible. Wrong. They're very simple to make. As with most modern inflatables of higher quality, the tube has a stop valve that prevents air from escaping when you remove your mouth from it. Duh. It isn't a balloon, believe it or not. There is virtually no resistance if you bite down on the tube as you inflate it. br>br>I'm glad I ignored the negative reviews and decided to give this product a chance.
SHAME ON THEM FOR SELLING A PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT WORK FOR CHILDREN'S SAFETY WHILE SWIMMING. My 35-pound son would suffocate in the water! BUYING THESE IS NOT A GOOD IDEA! They support a person weighing up to 110 pounds, according to the manufacturer. So I figured my son would be a LOT SAFER wearing these. WRONG! This is a VERY RISKY situation. PLEASE DO NOT SELL THEM. as well as potential customers BUY THEM IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. UR CHILD IS GOING TO DIE! Mine have already been discarded. Now I've ordered a body glove for my son so that he can swim SAFELY. Selling something for children's safety that does nothing but put them in danger should be illegal! If I could, I'd give it a zero! As soon as I realized these things don't work, I ended up holding my son for the duration of our pool time. He had never been in a pool before. If these arm floats had done their job, it could have been a much better experience for him! DO NOT BUY YET AGAIN!.
These are incredible! As I return to purchase my second pair, I notice a number of negative reviews. Perhaps this is due to the fact that, as others have stated, you must inflate them in order for them to work, and in order to do so, you must apply pressure to the base of the nozzle/intake to open the one-way valve. An inflatable pool or a beach ball, for example. Furthermore, in the same listing, there are two types of floaties - Fabric-covered ones are more expensive, while plastic-only ones are less expensive. I purchased the fabric ones after borrowing similar ones and finding them to be very easy to put on and take off, as well as being very comfortable, according to my son. So, is it possible that some of the discrepancy in reviews is due to the fact that the two products are different? Before you make a purchase, double-check everything. The ones with the fabric covering are fantastic! Purchasing a second set of shoes - The first one is in its second season and still going strong. For a different house/pool, I'll need a second pair! My son has grown to be around 40 pounds, and these still hold him up. These are highly recommended.
He weighs 36 pounds, which is significantly less than the maximum weight listed on the floaties' description. We went to Target and bought some for $3, and they work great! I'd go back to Amazon, but I threw away the packaging because I was confident in the speedo brand.
I bought these arm bands because my grandchildren were coming to visit and I planned to take them swimming. The end result was satisfactory, but I had neglected to complete my homework. Arm bands were not permitted by the pool's management because they were deemed dangerous. Instead, they had jackets available for the kids to use at their leisure. br>br>Despite the absence of a flaw, it appears that this is not a product that should be used - I had no idea about this. It receives three stars for meeting quality standards, but loses two stars for being an unusable product, and obviously, if it can't be used, it has no value for money.
These floaters are ideal because they instill confidence while allowing the child to learn how to move in the water. It claims to hold up to 110 pounds, but I wouldn't put my trust in that. I believe I would be nervous if I were over the age of 80. I'm not saying they couldn't help someone who weighed 110 pounds; I'm just saying I'd be concerned. This is simply my viewpoint. br>The material that covers the inner plastic ring is soft, and it hasn't given my swimmer any rash or irritation. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to boost their child's confidence in the water. It is not a life-saving device, but rather a useful tool. My swimmer weighs just over 40 pounds and can stay above water with these on, which is beneficial to her as she learns to swim.
We had previously used swimming arm bands and found them to be very safe for our child. As a result, he's been wearing the Speedo Kids Begin to Swim Basic Arm Bands as he grows and learns to swim. The quality is excellent, and they inflate and deflate with ease. This is something I would recommend. To make the bands slide more easily, try getting your arms wet. Complete their inflation once they've been placed in place. Do not inflate them too much, as this may cause injury to the child's arm. Consider it as if you have too much pressure in your car tire: not good!.
My daughter wore them for less than an hour before they began to fall off. They've started to fall apart after closer inspection, so buy the $1 plastic ones instead. Save money by spending $50 at the grocery store. We had to buy those because the originals were ripped, so you might as well skip them.
