20 Best Swim Floaties For Toddlers (2023 Updated)

Best swim aids for babies and little kids! best value for money

Very good product, safe to be in water.

Prima

This is a great baby float, the best I’ve tried. It fit my granddaughter when she was a baby, and I just bought another one for her. She’s 3 now, and big for her age. It still fit perfectly and kept her completely upright.

Some floats allow them to tip a little, and some require their heads to be down on top of the float. This one keeps her upright, but she can still splash her arms in the water. It has bigger leg openings than some.

She had one where the legs were way too tight. This is made from thick material, better than most. The old one I had was still fine quality-wise, it just got really dirty somehow in our shed so I pitched it.

I recommend this float for babies through toddler sizes.

This is brilliant for my daughters twins. Will last them a considerable time. They are quite small babies at 11 months so a bit low in the water but we put our hands under their bottoms until they were a bit confident (few seconds!) and they were totally happy.

Cant wait to take them swimming again.

Overall, this is a great floatie for the baby, however the seating on the inner inner tube could stand to be a little more sturdier. It’s just 4 ribbons in a cross pattern. Baby couldn’t sit up straight while floating in it.

She either leaned heavily to the front or to the back or sides. If the seating was more sturdier of a seat, I think it would be more enjoyable. Other than that, it was adorable watching her smiling and having fun in the pool!.

It is nice that it is fabric but it left gaps in the child arms, so I do not feel it was sung enough. Returned. May work for a child with larger arm.

Great floaters, my little guy can’t swim at all, but with these he floats around like a log. It’s great! FYI it states that it has UV protection, but it not a replacement for sunscreen. Little guys arms looked like a candy cane because of his sunburns.

Wow I had no idea this would actually hold my 4 yr old up in the water like it does! We are learning strokes and strengthen muscles and she can easily doggy paddle and tread water in this allover the pool without a thought!! It’s so effortless and allows full movement and ability to practice and Excercise strokes.

U can even remove layers as they get better!!!.

Great alternative to puddle jumpers or other floats. Our daughter is 3 and she loves it though of course we’re always with her in the water. Only wish that there was a way to tie up the long strap.

Awesome swimming aide! Allows for correct arm movement when learning to swim. Has helped our son transition from just floating with a puddle jumper to actually swimming! This flotation gives him confidence! Highly recommend for helping your child learn to swim.

Wish we would have bought sooner!.

My son was very comfortable and he tries to swim without any assistance. Once he jumps in the water he automatically comes out of the water in the floating position. Good product. Thank you

I purchased this for my little boy. Our previous armbands was not good as he was still afraid of water. The waistband helps a lot. He is happily explore the pool by himself.

Perfect fit for an 18th month old. Since he does not like a life preserver or a floating device, he did not realize his suit was he device!

It’s so hard to get on and off. Also if you have to change a diaper, the whole suit needs to come off since there are no snaps on the bottom.

My baby 10 month old and this swimming suit didn’t fit him it’s to small

I have been looking for a float for our little one and this one by SwimWays was the perfect choice! I love the design on this float, it is super cute! After simply inflating the float and attaching the sun canopy my little one was all ready for the pool.

At first my little one was a little nervous but after sitting in his new float for a few minutes, he loved it! The seat is very padded and he always looks super comfortable and relaxed. The float keeps my little one secure; it is very well made and appears to be very durable.

The canopy is also great, it is moveable and truly keeps the sun out of his eyes. Even though I am always with him having the mesh through sides is great so I can always see my little one from any angle.

Another great feature of this float is that it has an area around the float where you can place toys for your little one to play with! I was impressed with how easy this float is to collapse and store.

This float comes with a carrying bag so you can easily store it and take it with you on your trips, it is super convenient! I am glad my little one will get lots of use out of his new float as it goes up to 24 months.

If you are looking for a new float for your baby, I definitely recommend this one by SwimWays!.

We tried the SwimWays Baby Spring Float with Canopy this weekend with our 9 mos old granddaughter. It’s nice to have the option of using the canopy to protect her from the sun or simply unsnap it to remove.

The float is durable, sturdy and we felt very comfortable letting her float in our pool. It’s great we can see her through the mesh Canopy and can see her kicking her legs underneath in the water. However, she is a petite 9 mos old (17 pounds) and we had to keep lifting her up to reposition her from being too low in the water.

It’s nice that it has a platform in front to place toys to distract her from drinking water or trying to chew on the float. It is helpful to have someone else to hold/pull on float while getting her out.

Bought this for my grandson for a visit to centre parcs. It was perfect for him, hes 14 months old and a stocky little man and it kept him afloat perfectly. Would definitely recommend and was the best price found.

Its really nice. Just is a bit difficult to put the air inside, but ones is done is really helpful for a little ones to enjoy the swimming.

Pros: Safe, fun ,colourful Cons: None

Prijs-kwaliteit content van! Makkelijk leeg te maken en vraagt erg weinig opbergruimte.

I bought this for our vacation. It was perfect! I was nervous because sometimes you never know but I was very pleased with the quality. The float blew up easily without any issue. I like the string in the front to pull the llama.

Hours of fun. Definitely would recommend this.

This little float is so cute – unique – and seems very sturdy. We’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and we love it!The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the holes that held the rope in place easily tore open so now we can’t use it to pull our grandchild around, but we’re still very happy with our purchase.

Bought for my tiny 5 year old granddaughter. It’s advertised to fit a 2-6 year old and the packaging says for ages 4-8 years. If your child is large for their age, this may too small.

With the extended swimming weather in Houston and with a heated pool, my daughter loves to get into the pool! While I watch her like a hawk, I wanted additional safety to her. I got her these Aqua SwimSchool gender neutral fabric arm bands for my daughter.

These high quality arm flotation devices have a valve where you put air into each arm device. You can tighten each arm device with velcro straps ties that are built-in and can be used with different children weight and heights.

I highly recommend these Aqua arm flotation devices!.

I recently received the SwimSchool Gender Neutral Fabric Arm Bands for my granddaughter to try and for me to review. Upon opening the box I could tell these were going to be great. The floats are well made.

The fabric is so soft and so much more comfortable than the usual plastic floats. They slide on easily and feel secure. I love the added feeling of safety that my granddaughter gets wearing these floats.

These were so awesome to help transition my son from a larger safety device. The colors aren’t a as bright as I expected. The fabric makes these so much easier to get on than the terrible plastic ones I used when I was a kid.

They also did not cause any rashes on his arms or side/armpit like the plastic ones did. Definitely still need parental supervision but kept him above water with enough freedom to move around.

My kid loves them! She is feeling very confident in the water wearing them. I am also confident that my child will float. But they don’t last long, we went through 3 pairs last summer.

These were good when they worked. Two and three year old wore them and 3 of the 4 floaties had holes after two swims. The roll up makes them easier to put on. A bit disappointed we didn’t get longer than two swims use out of them.

This product needs to be recalled. After using them once it developed a hole. purchased another pair and a hole developed after a single use. Clearly an issue here

Absolutely love this float! My son(6months) was so calm and relaxed floating around the pool and kicking. He’s long and skinny but this fit on him pretty well with some extra tightening! He was definitely living the good life in this thing especially when I had his canopy hooked up and the breeze would just pull him around the pool.

He ALMOST fell asleep until his 2 year old cousin splashed him. Not to mention HOW WELL THIS THING FLOATS!! My nephew and myself were holding on at one point in the deep end and it didn’t lean at all.

Even with big choppy waves the water cane no where near his face as he giggles away! I love it. He loves and his grandparents love it as well as the shark design lol we tried a few other brands with the blow up neck float and he was not fond of dangling into the water whatsoever.

Was desperate for a good float. Had bought a couple plastic inflatables and always just ended up holding my baby the entire time in the water. Now we can all have fun in the pool! The ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars on comfort is because my baby is now 10 months and pretty long for his age and there is not much wiggle room to adjust the shoulder straps.

Other than that, this is by far, the best float out there for littles! Safe, comfortable, soft material for babies skin, can lay back and float or flip over on tummy and kick around. There are a couple different styles, I highly recommend the sun shade and one with a tail for added safety when they are on their stomachs.

My son absolutely loved this float. He would fall asleep in it almost every time we went in the pool on vacation. We were getting lots of questions about the float because it is so different than any float I’ve ever seen personally.

Highly recommend.

I had this Intex float before and love it. I bought this extra one with the palm tree and regretted it. The palm tree doesn’t stand up. So I ended up having air out and tap it to the side of the float.

I would buy intex Float again without the palm tree.

This worked great for me and my 8 month old. I weight 125 lbs and will only use this in a pool I can touch in.

what I received was not at all like the picture… totally different!

My 11 month really enjoyed it in the pool and we were able to stay hands free yet eyes on the baby while keeping her close the whole time. She got use to it really quickly the hole for her legs was big enough for her chubby thighs.

and didn’t take more than 2 min to inflate. Great products.

Our granddaughter uses this in both the pool and the lake and loves it. While she’s not walking yet, in the lake she can touch the bottom with her feet while in the float and has become very good at moving herself by ‘walking’ while supported by this float.

My boy of 5 has always struggled with water in general and swimming has been difficult. He was reliant on rubber rings and armbands to keep him up out of the water but obviously this made learning to swim properly impossible.

After spending a week on holiday and a majority of time in a pool his confidence had increased massively so when we got back I wanted to keep his confidence levels high and I found this little gem. After just 2 separate hours in the local pool he was swimming properly and was even able to go in the pool without an aid.

He is so proud of himself and now loves swimming (and being a shark!). I can’t recommend this enough!.

After of 3 uses my 4 year olds swimming has improved greatly. He now swims on his tummy instead of trying to swim upright. He has gone from sinking to being able to float on both his back and front without assistance.

Highly recommend!.

Bought this for my four year old who is learning to swim but needs a float for confidence, this is brilliant as it leaves his arms free for swimming and gives him the confidence he needs to let go of the sides.

It is a nice fit with plenty of stretch in the straps for growing room and didnt chaff his sides, although he did wear it over an all in one so I dont know if it would chaff bare skin, straps are soft though so I would doubt it.

My daughter is almost 4 months old. I was skeptical about this thing but she loves scooting around the tub with it. She was kicking her legs like a little frog. It seems almost instinctual which is pretty neat to watch.

This definitely needs close supervision like ANY infant bath product but babies will also appreciate the feeling of independence to move about. The only drawback as far as I’m concerned is that the tub needs to be pretty full.

My six month old absolutely loved this. He was able to stay upright and splash around, and slept for hours afterwards. Being double-clasped, the floatie was perfectly secure and didn’t budge no matter how much my son moved and grabbed at it.

It also has two seperate air valves, so if baby accidentally opens one, the second pocket of air keeps baby upright long enough for you to close it up again. With that said, the low rating is due to the fact that it runs small.

As in it doesn’t fit my six month old anymore. So even though we had a blast during the the three times we used it, it wasn’t worth the cost.

I checked different websites and Well. ca had the best shipping deal for this product. My 4 month baby loves it. I wasn’t sure what to expect but she loved being able to float and it also made it easier for me to try having a bath with her without worrying she will slip out of my grasp.

Great Canadian made product and I look so forward to bathtime now!.

Very pleased with the arm bands. My three year old grandson had the confidence to swim independently as soon as he was wearing them. The lifeguard at the pool suggested the arm bands instead of the life vest my grandson was wearing at the time which became too heavy as soon as it was wet Thus it impeded him from trying to swim.

The advice was spot on. I would definitely recommend the arm bands, starting with two on each arm.

The item arrived within 1. 5 days. I did not expect it so quickly. Came in original packaging + box. Good quality item as expected. No damaging, brand new item. Would recommend the item. Used it before during my daughters swimming lessons.

Discs helped build confidence in pool. Packaging was damaged and had obviously been opened and then sellotaped up again. However goods inside not damaged.
