Great
design, slim and well fitted. Great choice of designs and colours. My daughter
loved her vest. This was easy to put
on. My 3 year old was able to zip up the
vest by herself with only initially help.This was easy to adjust to suit her needs and great as she is having swimming
lessons. She always says she enjoys wearing it. She is already quite confident
and loves swimming. The materials used
in this swim vest are very high quality. I haven’t washed it, just air dried
it. Still great. I loved the fact my
daughter loved the design and was a very comfortable fit. Great product
and would definitely help those children that are not 100% confident in a pool
as a good workout support. Great value for money. My daughter is now quite confident in the
pool so would not need to purchase again.I would definitely recommend this item.Very happy with the product. Always great when your 3 year old
enjoys wearing something and it looks great too.

Colourful,
appealing and quality. Good, comfy design.Very suitable. This was easy to put on.My daughter loved to put it on herself and just get help with the zip. It
was still slightly on the big side for my child, so probably didn’t adjust as
well as it could. Yes comfortable to wear, although sometimes slipped up a bit,
but this was more likely due to it being slightly big, rather than design. This
has helped to build her confidence in the water. She likes to be on the move
the whole time and can be scared to go on her back. The materials used are
good. This has been easy to launder in the short time we have had it, but don’t
know how well it would last long term. I loved the fact it gave both my
daughter and I more confidence to have fun in the pool and did not have to frap
with armbands on and off. The quality is good.Definitely good value as we will get a lot of wear out of it, as I
ordered the bigger size as my daughter is big for her age. I would purchase if
I could justify it by going to the pool more often. I think I would like to use it in the summer
for beach trips. I would recommend. Great
idea, but not the best time of year for us to test it as would like to try it
at the beach. Main thing is my daughter
loved it and even wanted to wear it in the house! Leona Smith – Leva 20 Months

Good product,
performed as I expected, better than arm bands. It was child friendly with a
fun design. The style of the vest was
easy wearing. Very easy to put on, fitted perfectly and the zip was very easy
to fasten. There were no adjustments
necessary as once it was fastened on my son’s body it did not really move much
out of position. My son made no indication that he wanted to remove the swim
vest at any point during the many occasions it was used. This made a great difference from when
usually using arm bands he quickly wants to remove them as they are
uncomfortable for him. The swim vest gave him support and helped him float. He is quite a confident boy in water anyway
so it is difficult to tell if it built his confidence but without it he would
definitely not have enjoyed himself as much as he complains when wearing arm
bands. Material was as expected and more lightweight than expected when wet and
quick to dry. I washed it with water and left it to dry which didn’t take too
long at all considering the floats that are in the vest I expected it to take
some time. I loved the flexibility of movement, the fit was perfect. Quality
has been very good, haven’t experienced any problems yet and have used it many
times. I would most definitely pay £19.99 to purchase it, arm bands are not
much cheaper and in my opinion, do not offer the freedom of movement which is
important when learning to swim. Most definitely purchase as it is the best
float aid I have come across since becoming a mother. I’ve used three previously which have not
performed as well as this swim vest. I was impressed with the overall product
and my son seemed comfortable with it.My sister has a 9 month old and I have already suggested she try and buy
this swim vest. Very impressed, would definitely purchase this product. The most useful float aid I have come across.
Pros: Light weight, fitted perfectly, easy to put on my son, attractive
pattern on vest, easy to wash and dry, non-restrictive allowing flexibility of
movement, comfortable to wear my son has been happy to keep it on for the whole
duration of his swimming sessions. Cons: the
only con would be that my sons weight would make him lean forward and sometimes
his head would go under the water when trying to balance him but it did not
phase him and I don’t believe he is old enough yet to have the understanding of
how to balance. Alison Rickards – Jacob 17 Months
