Hi there,


We are going on a beach holiday with our kid and I wanted to get some recommendations on arm bands vs floats/suit thingy w floats in it. He is just over 2 and loves water so I have no doubt he will want to spend most of his time in it. Are arm bands better/safer? I.e. put them on and forget about it? If so, any particular brands? Is the little vest w floats a bit uncomfortable for them?


Thanks for your thoughts!

We've just been on hols with our 2.5 year old. About a year ago I bought some of the polystyrene swim rings from someone on this forum, and they've been brilliant. Easy to get on, no blowing up, and my son who started with 4 per arm has this holiday been kicking about with just one per arm - almost proper swimming!
My son has the best with polystyrene inserts. Less restricting than arm bands and "safer" in that when he's got it on you don't need to worry about him going underwater, while with armbands he still needed to swim to stay afloat (and so when he stopped, he sank....)
