Red Kite Sit Me Up Inflatable Ring - Ring Seat with Play Tray and Activities (Dreamy Meadow)

Product Information

Why We Like It: The float, canopy, and octopus activity center all fold flat and fit in the small carry bag.

It’s very convenient if your baby’s float comes with a built-in, adjustable canopy to shield their skin and eyes from the sun. But not all floats come with that option, and some canopies only work when the sun is at specific heights in the sky. That’s OK, though, according to May. Why We Like It: Built-in handles provide parents or caregivers with an easy way to hold on at all times. Our float rings are transparent, so your child can see the water from their baby rubber ring and get comfortable with the pool. Give your baby the driver's seat as they hold onto the two ergonomic handles, splash around, and explore the world of swimming. Baby Swim Seat There are many types of pool floats on the market, but the first thing you should know is that there’s a difference between a recreational pool device and a personal flotation device. “A recreational pool device includes different pool floats that are usually inflatable and designed for recreation and not specifically to prevent drowning,” Dr. Watson warns. Do not rely on a baby pool float to serve as a personal floatation device.But Take Note: This float is recommended only for babies 3 to 9 months old, so they’ll need a different one soon. As any parent knows, toting a baby to a new place or entering a new season likely requires a new piece of gear. So when you’re planning a vacation or the weather heats up, it’s time to look up the best baby pool floats—a helpful, safe way to introduce your baby to the joys of swimming.

Some parents might like the reliability of a non-inflatable baby pool float. While this option does cost more and take up more space than other baby pool floats on our list, there’s no risk of the float deflating while the baby is in the pool—or of finding a hole in it right before your pool fun begins. Made of sealed pearl foam, the float is available in three colorways. No matter the color, they all come with a three-point harness strap, a removable sun canopy, and a removable footrest.If you choose an inflatable float, think about how difficult it will be to blow up, and whether you need a pump to help you out. Once it’s ready for the pool, you’ll also want to be sure it’s easy to get your baby in and out of the float without a lot of fussing.
