I really wanted to love this float, but it ended up being way too big for my son. Once I had it on the tightest setting, it looked like it fits great on him. However, once he got in the water it was riding up on him big time, as you can see in the photos. I originally thought sizing up would be smart since he’s 6 and about to turn 7, figuring he’d grow into it quickly… but that’s definitely not the case. This thing is BIG. Definitely should have gotten the small!
To give you an idea, both me and my mom (both over 150 lbs) were actually able to squeeze into it, and it even held our weight in the water. So for a smaller child, it’s way too big.
That said, I do like the concept behind it. I love that it keeps the arms free so kids can actually practice swimming, unlike a puddle jumper that hugs their arms and makes it hard to swim correctly. It’s a great idea in theory.
Even though it’s nice quality item, I can’t give it 5 stars because of the sizing. I’m not even sure if the small would’ve worked any better considering how big it runs. Unfortunately, by time my son is big enough to properly fit into this, he’ll likely already be a confident swimmer and won’t even need it anymore.
