Floatation Devices? 🐳🐳🐳

Question

What’s everyone doing with their 2-3mos babies for the pool? I have a Swimways Baby Float that my 22mos old is still using. And she’s just shy of 30lbs so I can’t switch her to puddle jumper or something similar. AND not to mention I realized this is for 9-24mos anyway. I used it for her last summer cause she was 9mos. However what’s a mom to do with 10 week old?? Is there any approved floatation device for babes this little? I saw some on amazon for 3mos. I guess he’s close enough. He’ll be 11 weeks when I need it. Nothing is worse than trying to hold on to a greased up slippery baby 😱 I would rather have him in something in the pool. I was hoping he could just use baby float but now that I saw the age I realize I can’t. So what is everyone using this summer for their LOs??i Besides this? What else can be used for younger babies that is good. I’ll be able to use this for my son next summer (sorry son it’s pink though 😂)

Answer

We used the Swimways Infant Baby Spring Float for our 7 week old twins and they LOVED it. They were both under 7lbs at the time, so under the recommended size, but it still worked perfectly for them. Here’s a picture 😊

Answer

Babies aren't supposed to go into the pool until at least 6 months because of the chemicals and bacteria.

Answer

My son will be 14 weeks on Monday & I’m going through the same thing. My parents have a pool but there’s nothing really for their age. I’m thinking the one you posted is the best one cause they can sit, be in the water & have a cover to protect them from the sun. The one the other person posted doesn’t have protector (I looked at that one as well)

Answer

We used this for my baby. Its actually the one for the bigger kids but we adjusted the bottom of it so we could lay her in it and her still be able to get a little water one her. Sounds crazy but it worked and we were holding on to it the whole time so we wasnt worrying about her sliding out. We used this one with my 23mth old last year but this year it isnt safe for her because she has enough upper body strength to pull herself up out of it and make it flip with her so we just use puddle jumper or lifejacket with her

Answer

Nothing not even bringing baby to the pool can't use sunscreen and it's super hot

Answer

I’ve heard really good things about the V Convey, it’s a little pricey, but it’s supposed to be extremely safe since it doesn’t require air and can’t go float or lose its flotation capability. A friend of mine has it and LOVES it

Answer

I wouldn’t put a baby that small in the pool. So scary to me that they could fall out or tip over.

Answer

Anyone try something like this? He’s 1 week shy of 3mos but within the weight range at 12lbs4oz. I guess this could work 🤷🏻‍♀️
