Play Tip!

This float device is suited to children who have good head and neck control and are going to be actively moving in the water but need good customizable support to maintain a safe posture in the water. There is another available front float pad that can be added. Try having the child push balls across the water in all different directions. Lots of fun! Note: Check the child's weight carefully to ensure the right size is ordered. Not a life jacket. Child must be supervised in the water.

Play Tip PLAY Tip

To help children with low muscle tone or strength learn to creep, try putting them at the top of a gently slanting smooth board. Put an interesting toy like a Skwish, at the bottom and watch them go! A couple of hints for kids who are slow to get it: Bare feet help. You can place your palms at the soles of their feet to give them something to push off against. If needed, flex their legs reciprically to help them learn the movement pattern.
