Rather a buoy or armbands for a baby in the pool?
Do you have a little one at home and want to introduce him to the joys of water?
It is then essential to equip it well to avoid all the risks of accidents, in particular of drowning.
The solution ?
The baby buoy of course.
But there are other options, such as armbands, or putting on a floaty bathing suit.
In the case of the armbands and the baby seat buoy, the concept is the same.
The young child will be kept out of the water thanks to an accessory filled with air.
It is thanks to this that it floats.
A floating swimsuit will have naturally floating parts, often close to foam.
It therefore contains no air and is not likely to deflate.
On the other hand, it can quickly be too small.
Let's go back to the armbands and the baby pool buoy.
In the first case, your child is held at arm level.
The risk is that the armbands slip and he ends up losing them.
Baby floats usually contain space to place the legs so that your toddler stays in place.
They can also have very practical accessories.
How to choose the right buoy for your baby
Are you looking for a buoy for your baby and are a little lost?
To start, look at the size of the buoy and what age it is for.
This will allow you to make a first skimming.
Also check that it is stable.
This equipment has holes where baby will put his legs to be maintained.
If the buoy flips over, it may get stuck.
Also check if there are accessories such as a sun visor, a backrest or even small playful and fun elements.
A word of advice, before putting it in the water with its buoy, get it used to it by placing it in your home, as well dressed as in the bath or in the shower.
This will allow him to become familiar and not be afraid when you arrive at the pool or the seaside.
What is the age required for the use of a buoy?
It is recommended to wait at least 5 months to put a baby in a buoy.
Before this age, he will still be a little young and above all too small for the models offered on the market.
If you want to put a floating swimsuit on him, the age of at least two and a half years is recommended.
Ditto for the armbands, before his arms will be too thin and he will be at great risk of losing them in the water.
As for foam pool noodles, wait 4 years for your child to use them.
They are not fixed in any way and can therefore easily slip and leave your child without a means of flotation.
