Questions & Answers

Would you mind sharing the weight limit with me?

The following answer was given by another user Weight 35 lbs

Is baby able to splash in the water with their hands while sitting in this product? From the picture, there looks like there is a barrier between water and the product. ?

The inter and outer float rings have a mesh screening between them so water will pool in there and baby can splash around. The baby may be able to reach the water outside of the rings, but it's unlikely that he'd be able to reach the actual pool/lake. It was a pleasure to assist you! As I am about to start using it agin this summer, I can't wait to see how it performs!

Does it have its own pump, or do you have to use a bicycle ?

The device does not come with a charger. It can be inflated by mouth (without the use of a bicycle pump), and you don't need a pump of any kind.

There are so many questions for me to answer. This model of the tub allows the legs to rest in the water through holes, so older babies, like 17 month olds, can begin to kick or does it have a solid mesh base exactly like a tube so babies sit on it. In order for my son to actually dangle his legs in the water, his legs have to He doesn't need to be able to crawl, do I?

They do have holes and they seem to be of a good size. As of yet, I have not published it A 9 month old spent the summer there and we plan to do the same this year. I'm very pleased with it. Standing directly next to them in the water, I would never leave a child in the pool without watching them. It is made for babies to float, not to learn to swim. An active child could point their head forward and tip over. You can find more information about the maker on their website.

It is hard to re-recommend this product because of its great sun protection With a 15 month old at the pool, we found this to be very useful
4/5

The (removable) sunshade was also amazing! As my daughter was swimming in the pool, the mesh that the babies sit in began to bother her, and on day three of our pooltime she kept grabbing at it You will also find that it is very hard to fold into its carrying case when you are done. The air had to be plunked out as we squeezed it back in but getting the air out and in again was challenging. This is a well-written review, and I encourage you to mark it as helpful if you found it.

Totally love it, thanks for sharing! Totally love it, thanks for sharing! He is 6 months old (25 1/2" inches tall and 15 lbs
5/5

Approximately 4 pounds) fit inside of it Filling up the tubes doesn't take a lot of effort since there are only two. It takes less than 5 minutes to put all of it together right out of the box. After you're done with it, let it deflate, then twist it up (like sun shades for a car), and put it in the pouch that came with it. As you saw in the pictures I provided, you can either sit on it or stick your baby in it, but when they're bigger, they can go inside the tube (there's a net attached to it I think this would be perfect to enjoy poolside with the family. That's why I think it's a great product. The pros are Please review
Setup is quick and easy with our quick setup *br/> I like how easy it is to pack and carry -a carry-on bag The light weight of this product - Including a shade you can, or do not have to, button down depending on the direction the sun is shining - Despite the tubes and the flat surfaces, there is still an area for the baby's pool toys in between them. The cons are Please review
There are none.

I highly recommend this product! I
5/5

About us What a great idea! Initially, my daughter wants me to hold her because she loves me so much. However, after I show her how to play with her toys, she can kick her legs and splash on the floor. Her favorite thing about it is that she loves it so much. If she wants to relax, she can lie back on her stomach, sit up straight or lean forward. It depends on where the sun is, but the canopy does its job just enough in most cases to justify its cost. There are other baby floats that I prefer, but I prefer this one because we can eat food on it My daughter's clothes are made from fabric, so they don't stick to her skin or chafe, nor do they get extremely hot in the sun or lose their shape. With my 22lb daughter I can use it as a kick board and swim around the pool with her, at 140 pounds, so I can use it as a kick board. In the pictures, she weighs 20 pounds at 9 months old. Although she is young, she is a bit small.

It doesn't fit in the carry-on bag The main function of this item is working fine It floats babies in water
3/5

Bag & sunshade are defective. Although I consider myself to be competent enough as a person, I always have a hard time fitting the float into the corresponding carrying case (deflated, obviously). Having a cocktail makes me feel like I've been drinking for 3 hours. A float and a floater The shade of It is not possible to fit the canopy into the bag. On several occasions, I have managed to maneuver them to fit, but then the sunshade's shape is altered, causing it to no longer stand upright (essentially useless). Can you please enlighten me as to what I am missing? It's bizarre, because my husband is able to build a house from the ground up, but he doesn't seem to know how to fix it. I don't want to use it because of the hassle of fumbling around with this big/awkward thing while supervising a 10 month old and a 3 year old. Moreover, the sunshade is flimsy and does not stand up to tremendous pressure- The infant is placed with right over left, tilting only to one side or the other. My product doesn't appear to be what it should be.

The product has been a big hit with us
5/5

Nine weeks is quite a young age for my son, but this works well At our community pool, it provides ample shade for our little swimmer! We use it for the zero entry zone in the pool! The moment my son is big enough to sit in the seat the way it is intended, I cannot wait to see him do so. The product is a great choice if you are looking for something that will provide shade for your little one.

I think this is perfect for my five-month-old! Having her on the float was a lot safer than just holding her where she is slippery and could slip out of my hands
5/5

By securing the canopy with snaps, you could move it around to shade you from Blowing it up and letting it float on its own was very easy. It was also pretty easy for me to put it back in its packaging, although my husband and mom had a difficult time. That weird car sun visor has been in my car for years, and it folds up just like a box. It's a great alternative to holding your kid in a crowd at a pool! I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a safe alternative to swimming in a.

It was a great There is nothing better than having your baby float on This is a healthy 10 month old who is a bit on the larger side
5/5

My daughter loves her first pool. I am so glad we bought her this for the summer. It took some time for it to blow up, so if you have an air compressor, using that would be a better method than spending 10 minutes blowing We didn't have to reblow it up over the course of a couple of days since it kept in the air. It does not leak air! Excellent purchase and I will recommend it to other parents with infants.

My baby is 4 months old, and I got this for him
5/5

My baby is 4 months old, and I got this for him. As she is a bit too small, I twisted the bottom of the cape up a little with a hair tie so it would be more raised. The little girl loves to swim, and although I don't let her float without me in arms reach, she loves to.
