Swim vests?

Question

Any swim vest recommendations?
I don’t want something that zips in the front because I don’t want my son to be able to take it off on his own.
A lot of products I find start at 30 pounds, but my son is only 25, so that rules out some options.

Answer

So I take my son to swim lessons and the teacher told me that swim vests and other floaties are actually really bad to use because it makes them think they can float in water and if you turn your back for a second and they think they can just get into the water by themselves it can be very dangerous. He suggested just holding them in the pool and they will learn they can’t go in without a parent. I had no idea about this and have quite a few floaties I won’t be using anymore. He also said swim suits the same color as the water are bad so you should try to get bright colored ones like pink orange or yellow because if they do fall in you can see them under the water

Answer

Not sure if you have it in the US but here in Australia we have a brand called zoggs and they zip in the back.

Answer

Not sure if it helps, but they make some with buckles. My son can unzip with a quickness, but he hasn’t yet mastered the buckle.

Answer

I want to follow this one too! We got my son one that zips in front and he immediately started unzipping it 🤦🏻‍♀️. We haven't been able to find anything else yet.
