Child's Sectional Raft

Now children who can not go 'swimming' can enjoy the water cradled in our Sectional Raft!

Designed to cradle the body in the water, (not on the water which can create a fear of "falling off"). The head pad is reversible for minimal lateral head-neck support. Shoulder straps snap on for easy fit. Fold the bottom layer under, for more leg movement. Excellent choice for kids with low muscle tone!

Child's Sectional Raft

Play Tip!

Here is a hint: If your child gets cold because part of his or her torso is above the waterline, get a towel wet and lay it over the exposed part. Your child will feel more comfortable. Pick this raft for children (or adults) with poor or no neck and upper body control who will be in the water but not "swimming".
