float jacket or pool float?

[linzkg]

We're going away tomorrow and the hotel we're staying at has a pool so suddenly thought one of those float jackets or just a pool float will come in very handy! My son is 13 months and loves the water but obviously can't officially swim .. so what's best? Any opinions? (Before I go and spend almost 30 pounds on a float jacket!)

hi I think he would prob find a pool float really frustrating at that age as it will stop him splashing etc. By that point I put my little one in armbands(about 35 from jojo's) and she is more than happy in them. Wont let us hold her in the water gets in and she is off on her own.

I agree - armbands will do fine.

Linz - We have one of those jojo ring things they sit in and babysb (14 months at the time) loved it on hols - didn't try armbands though. You are welcome to borrow it if you like?
