Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: not too excited about the product Comment: I was expecting more of this product, but it was not all that. It does not help my kid float, it is practically useless for kids who cannot swim (and swim GOOD) yet. Customer Rating: Summary: great swim assist device Comment: I got this for my toddler who liked water but wasn't very balanced yet. He tended to fall forward when walking through the kiddie pool. This vest gave him confidence to just jump into the deeper pool (with me catching of course) and walk through the kiddie pool with ease. The vest does not keep his head out of the water but it provides the floatation he needs to help him right himself in the water. Customer Rating: Summary: Not sure if it's a good idea or not.... Comment: First off for anyone who does not read the item's description PLEASE note:
*****THIS IS NOT A LIFE JACKET*****
Ok that said (no I knew what I was buying, I just want to make sure that others do as well) this is really good for making children comfortable in the water with it on. They are able to paddle themselves around the pool with a little assistance at first (children are very top-heavy and toddlers' heads will tend to pull themselves over into the water) and then independently.
I dock it a star for two reasons: one, I thought it would be more like the old foam belts they used at the Y - you could gradually use less foam blocks as the child becomes a better swimmer and needs less help. Not so, it tells you do not remove any of the foam blocks when the child is using it. Two, for my daughter, it only allieviated her fear of facing the water on her own with the vest on, it became a security blanket. Now at 6, she can touch bottom in many pools but still whines and tries to throw a temper tantrum about going in a pool without it. Customer Rating: Summary: better than plastic ones Comment: good value, floats well, very visible. My 4 year old son wears this in the ocean, easy to zip, soft material, just great Customer Rating: Summary: This is great Comment: My 4 year old does not know how to swim. We took this on vacation and by the end of the week he was holding his breath, diving off the side of the pool and we even experimented without the vest. This vest gave him the right amount of bouyancy and confidence in the pool. I highly recommend it.
