The F.A.Q. for Swimways Baby Spring Float Activity Center Canopy (ZW-005)

My grandson loves his float! he is11 months old and loves to "swim" in the pool. The float hold him in securely and i have no fear of him slipping out or tipping over. It's wonderful to actually watch him play in the pool without his mother carrying him. The two can interact together in the water now. We did remove the canopy and he seems to like it much better without. I would recommend this product highly. So far the best purchase i have made for his summer. :)

A number of questions have been asked here.

Q&A

(0) Question: Does this float have holes for the legs to go through?

(1) Question: Can the activity center be removed? also, do all the toys come with it? one reviewer said the toys were not included. (just the octopus)

(2) Question: Is the canopy adjustable? can you move the canopy according to the sun? appreciate feedback, thank you!

(3) Question: Read some reviews that it's hard to inflate, does anyone have this problem and can you inflate it using a regular hand pump?

(4) Question: Is the canopy adjustable?

(5) Question: Do you ship to canada?

(6) Question: Is it suitable for a baby of 7 months?

(note) Question: where/how to get Swimways (manufacturer's brand) accessories & similiar Swimways's products

Best swimways baby spring float activity center canopy (zw-005) in review

My baby has a scar on her head that needs protecting from the sun (as recommended by a pediatric dermatolgist), and the canopy from this floaty works perfectly to protect her from the sun. It's well made and works as advertised. When i had goggles on i could see her kicking her legs under water and this didn't make the float capsize. Always keep your baby within arms reach since it's not a life saving device but it certainly helps to get your baby familiar with the pool! also it's well priced.

Granddaughter loves this floatie. Great first time pool experience.

We purchased this float for a long-weekend to las vegas for our 15 month old daughter. She is very fair and i was concerned about her sun exposure. The canopy worked great. I thought the would rotate to the different positions (front, center, back) but it stays stationary and you just pull it down or forward and clip it. It still works but wasn't exactly what i expected. She didn't love the frog but we played with the floaty toys in hole left in it's absence (toys pop up out of the water through the hole when held under and released). That was much more fun for her. She was very interested in the squeaky toy that is also durable enough to chew on. The floaty foam toys however aren't great - parents beware that your little teether will shred them in a matter of minutes. I loved this float. There were a few other families that had a different brand and this one appeared to be better. Highly recommended. The only downside is that its hard to get back into case for airplane travel.

The leg holes were a bit small for my 8mo who is big for his age (21lbs / 28 inches) in comparison to the body hole which is twice his size. The result is that baby was nervous wobbling back and forth in the beginning. Once we showed the baby to lean forward, he seemed to take it better and wasn't as scared. Making the leg holes even 1 inch bigger would be great, and make the body hole 4 inches smaller in circumference would balance this out better. For direct overhead shade, this shade stands up but wobbles. Perhaps an extra snap button loop towards the front and next to the existing ones would give it more stability. Overall, for the price, durability, and value. We are happy. Also nice to have something baby that is not so bulky while porting everything else around.

We were going to florida for our sons first christmas at 2 and a half months old and wanted to have him swim in the pool with us. We looked at all the reviews and were worried about the age limits. He weighs about 14 lbs and we had to hold in from underneath and from behind but the floatie was perfect for him! he could hold his head up and even lean forward. The sun shade protected him from the wind and he genuinely had a great time. I wouldn't hesitate to use this with a child of any age provided you have plenty of adult supervision and support him both behind the back and under the bum.

The valves on this thing need a redesign. They are way too hard. One can blow it up ok with effort, but deflating it is near impossible. It doesn't deflate by itself with the valves pinched. I tried pinching and sucking the air out, and while that worked, it would have taken longer and been more difficult than i wanted to suffer through. So we just threw it in the vehicle inflated. Will have to deflate it for our trip to the caribbean this fall though - not looking forward to that! (the deflating, not the trip). . I'll have to try to find one of those air mattress pumps that have a nozzle that can poke past the valve to try to deflate it. Until then, i guess it stays blowed up. (sic). . I've recently read that pool chlorine is bad for 2yrs of age and increases the risk of ear infections and asthma. My older daughters were pool babies, and were in advanced swim classes at the y by the time they were 4. The eldest suffered from recurring ear infections (and operation to put tubes in! ) and the next one asthma and allergies (requiring a nebulizer! ) so i'm severely limiting pool time for baby 3. . But to end on a positive note, my daughter loves being in this thing. She likes the freedom of motion and being in the water. We live in florida so the canopy is great at protecting her from the sun (still use sunscreen though). The octopus and dangly toys seem like unnecessary distractions now, but maybe once the novelty of the float wears off, she'll pay more attention to them. Product really deserves a 5 were it not for the valves.

We had a similar one for my daughter, but couldn't find it and wanted to take my son in the pool! he loves it! the monster in front as well as the attached toys are great for keeping him occupied, and the top is great for shade! love this!

Overall, i really love this item. My 10 month old loves it too. The best feature is of course the canopy. We wouldn't get to stay in the pool for as long as we do without the canopy. The sun can be so damaging, even with sunscreen on, so this allows me to not worry so much about that. The baby is 100% shaded when in this floaty, which is very important to me. We can stay in the pool for as long as we want and not worry about his sensitive skin getting burned. He sits comfortably in the mesh part where his legs go thru, and sometimes even leans backward in it like he's laying in a hammock! haha personally, we dont use the blow-up octopus part on the front. We tried it at first but soon realized he had trouble seeing around it because he's still so small. So we replaced that. We chose to attach the toys to the sides where the canopy snaps on/off. He really loves the squeaky fish! the only other drawback is that when he's in the floaty, he can't actually reach the water with his hands to splash. He sits in the water but other than that, he can't reach it. So that is a bit of a bummer. But overall, we really love it and would recommended it. It is so cute too!

This was too scary for my 6 month old. We'll try it next summer!

O. Mathis, Bracknell Forest says

It is good quality. Not cheap material like most. The little toys that come with it are cool. My only problem is the seat sits so low. I didn't realize it was for 9-24 month. Wish i had because i am going to have to use a towl or something to prop her up. But thats my fault i guess, for not reading full description.

I. Bethany, Picardie

Perfect way to introduce my little one to the pool, not to challenging to fold up and out back into the case. Haven't used the toys yet my little one is only 11 weeks so we put a towel in the seat so he wasn't flopping everywhere. It will be great when he gets a little bigger

I am so happy i decided to go with this one! i was reading all the reviews on the various versions of this type of swimming floater as well as reviews on this particular one. After several days i decided to go with this one and i love it and so does my son! set up was super easy and i was able to inflate it with ease. I read in some reviews that people said it can tip when the baby reaches for the octopus first, i would never leave my baby unattended in the pool ever! second, when my baby would reach for the octopus, it would help him to sit upright better. One thing you have to look out for is there were times when he would push up with both arms, pushing him up and to one direction while floating. He only did this a couple times when he would get bored but i just stopped him and diverted his attention back to something else. The cover stays up perfectly in the upright position and sits well in the reclined position. My baby is 8 ½ months and 23 pounds and this fits him quite well. I hope this helps! i had the opportunity to try out my friends floater which was similar to this but different. The shade thing on hers didn't stay up and the water came up too high. This one by far is the best! i will answer any questions you have!

This is the best floats ever created. We carried our 3 month old baby to tobago and he totally loved it! he bathe with us the entire time we was in the water and he was able to lift himself up in the float. I totally recommend it
