Excellent experience with the product!
I read many comments saying that the child does not have the correct position and leans forward, and that if the child turns around, they cannot return to the original position, and other such things.
I really want to curse, but I won't.
FIRST! It says in the instructions that you should not leave the child unattended when wearing the life jacket!
And SECOND, and most importantly, this life jacket is not meant for the child to float still. BUT TO LEARN HOW TO SWIM! It is intentionally designed to lean forward so that the child can move their arms and legs, so that they can move in the water! Also, the person who designed it designed it for use in a pool! It is logical for it not to be so stable with waves. Especially when the main purpose of its use is to learn stability in the water by the user!

Anyway, we really enjoyed it. with a baby aged 6-9 months. I had to deflate the outer chamber a little so that his arms could reach the water. This year, we will probably need more air.
I highly recommend it to parents who want their child to move on their own in the water, ALWAYS under the supervision of an adult who can read basic instructions.

It was purchased in May and was used 3 times, for only a few minutes each time as the baby didn't like it. The last time I tried it, I noticed that the clasp was broken. I requested an exchange, but it was refused even though it has a 6-month warranty from the date of purchase!

  9-month-old baby normal weight.. constantly sliding because the sides do not tighten, which swell and there is no seat underneath, so it constantly slides and someone has to hold the baby from below or constantly lift it... not convenient for us at all...

  Very nice life jacket for learning to swim indeed! It is of course for the child. The little one has enjoyed it, the big one no longer wants to go into the sea so he doesn't even want the life jacket.

  The child leans forward and drinks water frequently. You have to constantly hold it from below to support it, and if a wave comes, it splashes in the face. Also, it does not have instructions for proper placement. It is not worth its money...

  We had 2 identical products for our 18-month-old twins. In one of the products, the baby sits correctly and everything is fine. At the same time, the same baby cannot sit properly in the second product, to the point where it is dangerous.

  It is tragic for 2 identical products to have such different functionality. Especially when we are talking about a life jacket.

  Generally, our baby is at a normal weight and I tried several times to put it on as the instructions say. At first, it sits but then it seems like its body slides backwards and ends up not being parallel to the water, almost vertically. I bought it for about 16-17 euros and even those seem like a lot to me, let alone others who bought it for 20, 25, 30. I would prefer to buy a simple life jacket with a seat from the INTEX company for much less money and it will definitely be more convenient.

  If your child is younger than a year and below the weight limit, it might do the job. For us, at 15 months and 10.5 kilograms, it felt borrowed and because it has a strange clasp, it broke on the first use. It ended up in a beach trash can 10 minutes after opening the package. Prefer something else...

  We bought two life jackets, the first size, as the children are twins. The first year everything was fine. This year both have holes exactly in the same spot, at the seam, and we can no longer use them as it is logical. Unacceptable for the amount of money they cost. This year they gave us the same as a gift, I will observe it and I will come back. The first two were of the same construction year, the third is more recent.

  26-06-2024 And the third one got a hole in the same spot. I have thrown away three so far. Unacceptable for the money it costs.

  There is a point inside that you need to inflate in order to support the baby's chest on the surface. This point is very difficult to inflate (the cells are few and small and the air is lost before you manage to close the valve), resulting in the baby not floating as it should.

  We bought it for our 14-month-old baby! We used it for the first time yesterday and as soon as we put him in, the mattress turned towards the front, causing him to lean forward and almost reach the water with his mouth. Throughout the bath, I had to hold the front part to keep him sufficiently above the surface and prevent him from drinking water. I was disappointed... I chose it for its publicity, but it didn't suit us at all.

  If it flips over with the child inside, it cannot turn back and a 2-year-old child remains with their head in the water and the life jacket on top. Very very very careful and only right next to the child. Also, the fastening broke in the first few days and now the little one just holds it. It is not for me.

  Very bad in the joints connections. It came off and released air from there. If you put it correctly, the child takes a good position. Otherwise, not good

  We have had it for 3 years and have been using it on our child since they were 3 months old. It has held up perfectly for all 3 years. It has not deflated, flipped over, punctured, or experienced any issues. The only downside is that the child tends to slip a bit if they don't sit properly sometimes. Ideally, I would like it to have a strap around the body. However, I haven't found anything better on the market.

  Note: If your mother-in-law is like mine, this is an option that will make her furious because "it doesn't have a seat and the child will suffocate and it's terrible, etc."

  For 6 months it is not .... for us, meaning it did not work for us. I hope this year, when we will be older, it will work for us!

  The protective cover of the fastening broke on the second use.
  The child can float comfortably. If worn correctly, it is difficult to overturn.

  This review is about the design: Orange

  This life jacket was very useful for my son, who is two and something. It is smaller than the corresponding red one, which is for a younger age, but this one is more convenient for easier movements in the sea without any issues with floating. The only negative thing is that it deflates quite a bit every day and we have to inflate it again, possibly it is defective. Otherwise, I haven't encountered any problems in the sea.
  Update after 2 months of use: I replaced the defective life jacket through Skroutz and the new one does not have the same issue. It has remained inflated as I inflated it. So, everything is good!

  The worst thing for the child in the sea. We bought last year the first life jacket (red 6 months-4 years) for our little one who was 8 months old. The plastic safety cap broke on the second bath. The child was slipping inside, so we had to pull her forward to get her in the right position.
  This year we decided to buy another one, maybe last year's was defective. We bought the first one and it was defective, and it deflated in the "pillows" that embrace the child's body, so we returned it and they gave us another one. The second one was defective too, and the "cords" that go over the shoulders were deflating. In both of the ones we bought this year, the child was slipping inside the life jacket.
  Of course, all 3 needed inflation before each bath.
  The child turned upside down 3 times, simply by turning her body backwards. However, we were always next to her and nothing bad happened.
  A lot of advertising for nothing.

  I really wonder why this life jacket has such a good rating worldwide. The child is not in an upright position, but leans forward. It's okay in a pool. But in the sea, even with a small wave, the child sinks. It happened to us and luckily we immediately took the child out of the water. Since then, I have been worried if he swallowed water (drowning can be silent and may not appear immediately) and luckily everything is fine so far. If they think that a 6-month-old child or older can be told to move their legs and respond to it, then they deserve to go to Mensa from now on. I'm very sorry.

  Many euros for the quality of it!! We wore it 2-3 times and everything was fine....slowly though, the kids didn't sit well and we noticed that it has distorted. We always inflate it with our mouth, how much damage could we have caused? Obviously the quality is not good! The plastic got damaged from the heat and the more we inflated it, the more it deformed! I don't know if it shows in the pictures! Babies can no longer sit! They get inside and become uncomfortable in 2 minutes. 11 months old.

  Smart as an idea but implemented wrong. The child constantly slips backwards because there is NO option to tighten the armrests that are inside the ring, resulting in it not being safe. The child constantly needs to be pushed towards the front in order to be constantly in a horizontal position.

  Update!
  It broke and the plastic buckle on the back for the straps broke in ours. Very poor construction for the intended use. Not that it makes any significant difference that it broke, but it is an indicator of poor quality construction!

  Quality-wise, I would have expected something better as the plastic on the clasp feels very fake. We didn't use it many times because our little one didn't like wearing it, whereas they tolerated another one that is like a little seat more easily.

  I also had the red one of the first age. The child gets familiar with the sea, feels safe, and wants to be in the sea for hours. The reclining position allows you to show the child some simple swimming techniques such as front arms and legs, free legs. I highly recommend it

  You need to be right next to it because it easily turns back. The belt should be adjustable in the middle like the straps. My 2.5-year-old is very active and it seems dangerous to me. The life jacket changes position with movements, either to the right or to the left, and you can't fix it. You have to undo it and put it on straight again. If the child is a little thin, they can slip out of the life jacket.

  The life jacket is worth its money and is exactly what it says, a swimming instructor. It requires a good inflation, after carefully reading the instructions and experimenting with the length of the belt to achieve the correct buoyancy of the baby.

  My 16-month-old, weighing 11 kilograms, unfortunately did not find it convenient for two reasons. Firstly, it does not hold him well and at some point I saw him slipping backwards. Secondly, the head is too low and touches his entire face on the life jacket, making it difficult for him in this position. Not to mention that he turns easily. So, it's better to use a life jacket

  I bought them for my children in the second year, the red and the orange ones. Because in the first year they got torn. I used them all summer of course, that's why I gave them 3 stars and not none. In the second year they got torn again. I won't buy them again because they're not worth it in terms of quality, they should have cost 8 euros. But they are the only ones that babies can swim and play with without the fear of drowning. Not to mention that with these, they learned to move their hands and feet correctly.

  Good product. It supports the child correctly no matter how small they are. And it helps them learn. However, as I have seen from others, it is a bit sensitive. We have two. One has cracked in an apartment. Even with proper cleaning care, it can crack.
