SwimWaysBaby Spring Float with Canopy - Inflatable Float for Children with Detached Floating Toys and UPF Sun Protection - Aqua/Green

This is the 3rd child I’ve purchased a spring float for now and the quality is just amazing! I prefer these over the bulky and often cheesy fully inflatable baby swim floats due to the fact the baby has ease with exploring the water instead of a dangerous situation where the child is trying to reach over the float to touch the water. I love the UV protected canopy as my little is very fair skinned. It’s super easy to deflate it and fold it back into its carrying bag!

Extremely easy to blow up and deflate for storage. The attached toys are durable and the tethers are long enough to low your little one to gnaw on the teether toys. This felt EXTREMELY safe. I definitely loved this product. It allows your baby some freedom to float around the pool (to safely walk in the baby pool), and it very protective of keeping the baby upright. I also used this in the ocean and it worked great with waves. It has little loops so you can tether it to yourself for extra security.

Nice float but of course it requires constant supervision. Above average seven month old fit but was a bit rocky as it was not a tight fit. Since he’s teething he kept wanting to face plant the front of the ring so I had to make sure he didn’t lean forward too far. He had fun! Shade on the water a big plus. Also toys were an added plus! My 3 year played with them also.

I honestly never ever write reviews but I am someone who reads them all the time before buying, especially when it comes to baby items—We bought this to use up at our cabin hoping that our daughter would like it. She absolutely LOVES it!! The other floaties we tried would hurt her little legs because she is a chunkier baby (about 30lbs, size 5 diapers, 12 months old). She fits in it perfectly and will sit in it for hours. She loves playing with the toys, she will drink her bottle in it, the shade protects her from the sun, and mom and dad get to give their backs a rest and be hands free in the water!!

All in all, this was a great buy. Baby loved being in the pool with it. We were a bit nervous about using it, as he is just six months, but it worked perfectly for him (he's 50th percentile in weight and size, so not particularly big). I felt like he was pretty secure the whole time. We obviously kept a hold of him, but I was not nervous using it at all.I particularly like the tethered toys. He is in the stage of putting everything and anything in his mouth, and apparently that includes when he is in the pool. Having them tied down helped prevent dropping the toys and helped minimize the pool water consumption...My only gripe, and the reason for the loss of a star, was it was close to impossible to get it back in the nifty little carrying case. When I unpacked it I thought, oh what a great compact case to travel with and store it in. That was the last time I would see the thing packed up neatly in that great compact case. It was a true struggle trying to get it all packed up and folded into the case, and we eventually gave up. We took it on vacation and had to just stuff it in the bottom of the suitcase. Not a deal breaker for using it, but definitely a bit of a let down.

My child absolutely loves this! Easy to get him in and out of, extremely safe and looked like he was comfortable! Great buy!

Love this float! We used it for the first time yesterday and our little guy loved it! Would not recommend for smaller babies as the mesh seat does hang a bit low, which worked out for us because our little dude is on the taller side. It keeps him low in the water but not too low to the point where I was worried. He loved the toys attached and the canopy was perfect because he hates when the sun is in his eyes. Also he’s super fair skinned, so it was nice to have him in the shade but still able to swim!

My daughter is 10 months old and short for her age (everyone thinks she's 3 months younger than she is), so I probably wouldn't have been able to use this much earlier since the mesh seat is fairly low, but she fits comfortably in it now -- perfect for summer pool days. And I especially like the sun shade. She wears a hat at the pool, but it's nice having the added layer of sun protection.

The toys appear stuck to the floatation device but they are not; very unfortunate since this is the only reason I chose this one for so much more $ than any other swimways floatie
