I bought it last year when my daughter was 22 months old. We used it 1-2 times, but the baby was sinking, so I put arm floats and a life jacket on her to always float with me next to her. I thought that because of her age, she was sinking! This year I tried it again, and while with another vest and arm floats that I bought for her at the same price, she can almost swim on her own, with this one, as soon as she entered the water, she sank again! It's not worth it!
