I had to order a pool float for my one year old because she has no fear and I don’t like to take my eyes off of her for a second, even to check on her siblings. This one has been amazing and I get asked constantly where I get it. It helps keep her in a forward facing position with a strap that goes between her legs and over her shoulders as well as both sides. It reminds me of a car seat type restraint but on her back. She doesn’t seem to mind it at all and likes that she can walk around in the shallow area. Obviously I keep her close to me still and it has a string attached that you can hold so she doesn’t float away from me. It does come with a sunshade that is easy to use but it’s harder to see her face so as long as it’s not the hottest part of the day we’ve been okay without it. Definitely recommend this one for anyone needing something for littles. As far as sizing, I ordered a large in hopes that we could use it next year too. Lily is 18lbs and fairly small overall for her age but I feel like she fits without any concerns.
