Ensuring your baby has the right-sized floater is key to their safety, comfort, and fun while swimming. At Splash&Mellow Kids Store, our high-quality baby floaters come in different sizes to support various age groups and weight ranges. In this guide, we’ll help you measure and choose the perfect fit for your child.
Why Choosing the Right Floater Size Matters
✅ Safety First – A well-fitted floater prevents slipping, flipping, or tipping over.
✅ Comfort & Support – The right size ensures a snug yet non-restrictive fit for free movement.
✅ Encourages Swimming Skills – A properly fitted floater promotes natural kicking and floating posture.
Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Your Baby for a Floater
1️⃣ Check Your Baby’s Weight & Age
The best way to find the right floater size is by matching your baby’s weight and age to our size chart:
Size |
Recommended Age |
Weight Range |
---|---|---|
S (Small) |
3 – 12 months |
11 – 20 lbs (5 – 9 kg) |
L (Large) |
6 – 24 months |
20 – 30 lbs (9 – 14 kg) |
XL (Extra Large) |
12 – 36 months |
30 – 50 lbs (14 – 22 kg) |
📌 Tip: If your baby is between two sizes, choose the larger option for extended use.

• Babies grow fast! Choosing a size with adjustable straps ensures a secure fit as they develop.
• Our floaters include a 4-in-1 safe buckle system, allowing for a custom fit.
