Obviously at that young we didn't let DS go more than an arm's length away...I'm a huge fan. All the buoyancy of a vest with better range of movement and more comfy. DS used to try to put his on before we even got in the car to go swimming :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549490 Mon, 16 May 2016 08:37:46 +0000 snowjewelz 2549490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: Yeah I've been looking at them! I just wasn't sure why they say 3+ like if I'm missing some important safely info :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549489 Mon, 16 May 2016 08:36:31 +0000 MrsSRS 2549489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I think it's 30-50 lbs. But it really just depends on how big around and mobile your kid is. DS used it starting around 18 months. You can look at them at Target. They cinch pretty small. But they're more like a cross between water wings and life vest than a float. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549481 Mon, 16 May 2016 08:32:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2549481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: Isn't puddle jumper for like 3+ or something? Or as long as LO is big enough? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549480 Mon, 16 May 2016 08:32:13 +0000 snowjewelz 2549480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the swim way one too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549329 Sun, 15 May 2016 20:10:43 +0000 MrsSRS 2549329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FWIW, while I loved the float @PinkElephant posted for infancy, by 17 months we were all puddle jumper all the time. No way DS would have sat in a floaty seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549242 Sun, 15 May 2016 16:15:11 +0000 SweetiePie 2549242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @PinkElephant:<br /> We have that one at our beach house (for the pool) and we took one on vacation (packed it to take there and decided to leave it behind because it wasn't worth the hassle). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549231 Sun, 15 May 2016 15:52:36 +0000 FaithFertility 2549231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yeah, wishful thinking :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549217 Sun, 15 May 2016 15:28:01 +0000 winniebee 2549217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the swim ways one too though our kiddo doesn't want to sit in a float much!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549214 Sun, 15 May 2016 15:15:45 +0000 KayKay 2549214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we love the swimways one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549207 Sun, 15 May 2016 14:20:04 +0000 FaithFertility 2549207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: SWe used to have a fish one last summer :)</p> <p>@PinkElephant: Ohhh I like that one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549206 Sun, 15 May 2016 14:16:13 +0000 PinkElephant 2549206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These are awesome, and easy to pack - they require very little air to inflate:</p> <p>SwimWays Baby Spring Float Sun Canopy (Pink) <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ARPETGO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kRmoxb941P7ZF" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ARPETGO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kRmoxb941P7ZF</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-float-for-17-month-old#post-2549203 Sun, 15 May 2016 13:55:39 +0000 MamaCate 2549203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one that has leg holes and a shade although we don't use the shade much since LO wears a hat.
