 Tot Trainer: Worth Every Penny September 6, 2001
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
We purchased this product for our twin 2 year olds who were very weary of the pool. It gave them tons of confidence to where now they will jump in from the side and not think a thing of their heads going below water. It also gave my husband and me some freedom to relax in the pool with the kids. The only problem we had is that they both got a hole within 3 months of use. But my children, husband, and myself love this product so much that we have replaced them both. Tip: drying them in the sun may have caused the tube to crack.

With our constant pool-presence and supervision, our 2 1/2 year old was able to swim all around the pool by herself while wearing this. She could turn in circles easily and it didn't tip over at all. She throughly loved this experience and that makes us happy. Problems - it did not inflate with our bike pump - we had to go to the service station. It began to deflate after about 2 weeks so we had to make a return trip. It completely deflated and was unusable after the third month. We are ordering another one - because it really seems to help her with pre-swimming activities!
EXCELLENT SWIMMING DEVICE FOR SMALL CHILDREN August 21, 2001

This swim school deluxe tot trainer is an excellent swimming device for small children. My grandson needs extra help in his motor skills and this is really helping him. He loves to swim in our pool and this helps him motivate around the pool with us on his own. With this trainer he feels more independent even though we are by him at all times. My granddaughter is too big for this trainer, but when she was smaller she really enjoyed it. This is our 3rd trainer.

I see that this item gets a pretty good rating overall, I have to disagree. A friend bought this tot trainer for our son (2 1/2 years old at the time) as a gift about a year ago and of course we tried it out straight away. As soon as we let him float a little, without being held, the rubber ring around the waist tipped and caused a very frightened little boy to tip forward, almost face down in the water! needless to say this item has ended up in the garage where it is safely out of use.

My daughter used this at 20 months and LOVED it. It was nice for me too. By no means would you leave your child alone in the pool or without constant supervision but she thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of movement she had and could climb up and out of the pool. She didn't want me to hold her the entire time in the pool so this gave her the means to go it on her own and gave me a break to float as I wished. :)Tube is similar to bike tire tube. Be careful not to place it were it can me punctured.
