5 Reasons Not to Buy a Pool Float for Your Baby
They are not safety devices Pool floats are toys, not life-saving equipment. They can tip over, deflate, or let a baby slip through.
They create a false sense of security Parents often relax their supervision when a baby is in a float. Drowning can happen silently in seconds.
They are unstable Floats with canopies or leg holes are prone to tipping. A baby can easily end up face-down in the water.
A life jacket is the only safe option Use a properly fitted, US Coast Guard-approved life jacket designed for infants. Not a vest labeled “flotation.”
Your arms are the safest float No product replaces constant, hands-on supervision. Stay within arm’s reach at all times.
