Questions parents ask
Everything you need to know before you order
What age is this neck float for?
From 0 to 12 months, within the weight range shown on this page. Once your baby is more active and has good head control, most parents move up to a chest float.
Bath or pool?
Both. Use it in a baby bath, a deep home bath or a warm pool, always with an adult within arm's reach.
How tight should it be?
Snug but comfortable: with both buckles and the button lock closed, you should be able to slide one finger between the ring and your baby's neck, with the chin resting in the chin support.
Does it need inflating?
No. The ring is solid foam with no air chamber and no valve, so it is ready to use straight away.
Is a neck float suitable for every baby?
Do not use a neck float if your baby has any condition affecting the head, neck or muscle control, or was born prematurely, without asking your pediatrician first.
How do I clean it?
Rinse with fresh water after use, wipe dry and let it air-dry in the shade before storing.
When will my order arrive?
