Mamas! We bought Noah a floaty he can sit in and he doesn’t like it! He wants to be in a big boy donut to swim and obviously we can’t let him do that by himself. He leaps off the edge of steps and we have to catch him by the donut. I was think about maybe a life jacket with the foam pillow thing on the back? And the she said put that on him and let him play in the donut? I’m not sure what to do I want him to take swim classes this year for this reason. I need help on flotation devices though!

This is the one Adalynn has it was $13 at Walmart but it doesn’t have the back pillow thing cause I didn’t like that one

@eryka616, what didn’t you like about it? I’ve never used one or even seen them in person I just know they are a thing and I thought maybe buuuut idk
Eryka·
@noahs.mommy, just how bulky it is and it doesn’t seem like it’d work well for teaching them how to swim
M. P. ·
@eryka616, oh okay! That’s kind of what I was looking for, him and pools make me nervous. For his swim lessons if I take him where my mom took me they don’t even put anything on them they just hold and catch lol does she ever seem to start rolling into her front?
Eryka·
@noahs.mommy, nope but she’s not too adventurous so she won’t leave the steps

@eryka616, yeah Noah is freaking fearless 😒 we went to a family member house not really expecting to swim to much but I had his suit but no floaty cause I thought he’d stay on the step and the step takes up her whole shallow end and only goes up to half my calf so noahs waist. We put on a paddle swimmer thing on him just to be safe and every time he tried to walk off the ledge or bring his feet off the ground he’d roll to his front but maybe that was because the device was too old for him?

@kambam, that’s what we had on him one day and it didn’t work out so well. Needless to say i was fully clothed jumping in the pool after him even though someone was with him. 😫

@noahs.mommy, maybe, I wish I could be of more help sorry
M. P. ·
@eryka616, no it’s okay! You were helpful! I just need to keep trying see what he likes!

@kambam, girl the one in the picture up there was $20 😕

@kambam, we got the paddle jumper for the daughter and it was 14 something 🤦🏼♀️ I didn’t really care cause I just wanted him to be safe but he doesn’t even like it which is fine I just now need to spend money on something else but hopefully he’ll like a life jacket better

@kambam, yeah we could try it. I’m so worried that anything but a seat he’ll roll on his front 😭
