Why Choosing the Right Floater Size Matters

✅ 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) |

30 – 50 lbs (14 – 22 kg) |

• Babies grow fast! Choosing a size with adjustable straps ensures a secure fit as they develop.
