But my kids were big so they were in a puddle jumper pretty young. </p> looch on "What do you use before the puddle jumper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-before-the-puddle-jumper#post-2752972 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 12:00:18 +0000 looch 2752972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a float suit. I don't know what they're really called, but it's basically a onesie with a series of floats that go around the child's trunk. </p> gingerbebe on "What do you use before the puddle jumper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-before-the-puddle-jumper#post-2752969 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 11:58:30 +0000 gingerbebe 2752969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, I just posted about this in another thread:</p> <p>Our son has worn this vest since 18 months and he actually likes it better than the puddle jumper (we have both). He did amazing with this vest and occasionally grabbed onto a kick board or noodle floating in the pool to rest but was doggy paddling and treading water like a champ.</p> <p>Speedo Kids UPF 50+ Begin to Swim Printed Neoprene Swim Vest, Berry/Grape, Medium <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JHJE9LA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Iq7uzb88Q1DSD" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JHJE9LA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Iq7uzb88Q1DSD</a> </p> justjules on "What do you use before the puddle jumper?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-use-before-the-puddle-jumper#post-2752967 Wed, 28 Jun 2017 11:56:07 +0000 justjules 2752967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my 20mo old a puddle jumper. I'm not sure his exact weight but the arms are a bit big and they often slide off. Is there another floatie that you can use that is for smaller/younger kids? </p>
