How to choose floaties for kids?

As summer approaches, more and more families are thinking about taking their kids to play in the pool or on the beach. However, many parents worry that their children will not be able to swim, posing a risk of drowning. Therefore, floaties (life buoys, buoyancy sleeves) have become the choice of many families.

First of all, floaties has styles for children of different ages. Generally speaking, for the floaties of babies aged 0-2, you should choose the collar type, which can ensure that the baby's head is fully supported and prevents the baby's neck from being strangled. For children aged 3-6, you can choose buoyancy sleeves, which can ensure that the child's upper limbs are fully supported, and at the same time make it easier for the child to master swimming skills. For children over 6 years old, there is an optional lifebuoy that allows the child to swim freely while providing protection.

Rubber products are generally more environmentally friendly and soft, while plastic products are lighter and more economical. In terms of comfort, soft, non-irritating, non-toxic and harmless materials should be selected. Generally speaking, the better floaties will use an inflatable design on the inside for better comfort and protection.


Safety

Of course, the safety of floaties is also the key to the choice. Generally speaking, the security of floats can be considered from the following aspects:

  1. Floaties: The buoyancy of floaties must be moderate, neither too large nor too small, to ensure the safety of children in the water.
  2. Anti-leakage: floaties must have good anti-leakage performance to ensure that there will be no air leakage during use.
  3. Safety belt: In order to prevent the floaties from falling off during use, some floaties are also equipped with a safety belt to ensure that the child does not lose his balance while swimming.

Secondly, don't rely too much on floaties, let children learn to swim as much as possible. Finally, when using floaties, make sure there are no sharp objects or obstacles in the water.

The advantages of EVA material are high strength, strong wear resistance and longer life. However, the disadvantage of EVA material is that the price is relatively high, which is not as affordable as PVC material.
  2. Antibacterial material: In recent years, some new types of Floaties have adopted antibacterial materials, which are designed to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold and keep Floaties clean and hygienic. The advantage of antibacterial materials is to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, which can better maintain the service life and hygiene level of Floaties.
