Review on 🏊 Protective LAYCOL Swimming Inflatable by Doug Hammett

The product is dangerous. Please read to understand why I thought this was the solution to our problems, but instead turned out to be an even bigger problem. I waited several months to order this float until the weather warmed up and it was time to swim again. After reading all the great reviews I just realized this is a float for my 1.5 year old. Last year my son kept leaning over the front of his standard baby swimmer and dipping his face in water to blow bubbles or try to drink pool water. I was afraid he would lean forward causing the swimmer to tip over. After doing some research, I decided on this float because it can be fully attached and also because of the shape of the float. It has a part on the front that protrudes more and also has 2 parts on the side that protrude. It does not close completely at the back, this part remains open for fastening. The float is not a standard closed circle shape. I figured that because of its shape, the float couldn't rock from side to side or lean forward to dip its head in the water. This does that job well, but still doesn't completely prevent it. HERE'S THE DANGEROUS PART: Due to the lack of a float on the back and because the float is relatively small compared to a standard float. He can turn completely and float headfirst into the water. I'm talking about the fact that his head and torso are completely submerged in water, the swimmer is upside down and his legs are sticking out of the water. This happened 2 times within 10 minutes and both times I felt like I was in slow motion having a heart attack. My poor guy, he's afraid to swim now. Not to mention I felt so embarrassed in front of the guys at the nearby pool 🙄😒 And I went back and made sure I bought the right size for his stats also because I looked like WTF!? How easy is it for him. Either way, cheer up. If you have a child who doesn't like being held or strapped in one place or who moves around a lot, this isn't a swimmer for them. If you have an obedient child, this float may be appropriate, but exercise extreme caution at best.
