 Very dangerous November 21, 2008
S. Al-Amri (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)
We used this toy only once. The baby was going to come out of it and into the pool several times within that few minutes. Her legs did not seem to go far enough down for the balance to be right. Have had others (with older babies) that really worked well but this one was just not balanced right.
 comfortable and u dont need a pump!!! August 18, 2008
V. Martini (Queens, NY)
we loved this product, it was very easy to get her in and out of it unlike the swimways and 100% more comfortable too. price is fantastic. we took to our trip to florida and didnt have to worry about finding gas station to fill it...the swimways you need a pump or a whole lot of air in your lungs. i would definately recommend to a fellow mommy.
What a lifesaver!!! August 28, 2005

Summer Time Is Pool Time with Intex Baby Float July 4, 2005

Intex's baby float is a bright yellow inflatable pool float that weighs around a pound and a half. One the front part of the float, there is a logo that says Pool School: Step 1 (in pink), Step 2 (in blue). and Step 3 (in aqua) . This particular float is a Step 1, meaning that is more of a learning float for infants and toddlers. On the back side of the float (behind the head rest) the words Baby Boat Float Step 1 appear. A little yellow head rest in on the inner part of the float, making it a little more comfortable. Instead of the normal round shape that so many floats have, this float is square shaped and has two different air chambers. The first air chamber is for the outer region of the float. The second chamber if for the inner seat region. The inner/seat region of the float is designed as "diaper style", making it easier for those wearing little swimmer diapers to fit in easily. There are 5 different leg holes to fit little ones into, and the seating is made of thin but sturdy vinyl. There is a 25 pound weight limit on the float, and should not be used by babies/toddlers that exceed the recommended weight.
Assembly of the baby float is simple. As mentioned before, there are two different air chambers (one on the outer float and one on the inner float). After finding each valve, open it up and inflate the float. A hand pump is not really necessary for this as the float only takes a few minutes to inflate by mouth. After inflated, push the valves into place and the float is ready to be used.
Experiences with Intex Deluxe Baby Pool School Step 1
I can clearly remember how easy it was to use this float. My daughter was a chubby little baby, so most the other infants floats didn't really fit her. With ease, we slipped her into the Intex float. While the float was in the water, she seemed attracted to the bright yellow colors and tapped and patted on the float a lot. The float worked fine with no leaks and plenty of room to lift her in and out. We used this float for an entire summer and never once had any problems with it. There is also a repair patch kit that comes along with the float just in case of a hole or leak. However, we never had to use it even once. The float remained sturdy and kept its bright color despite many many hours out in the sun and in the pool.
There are a few things about this float that I thought could be improved upon. Although my daughter loved the bright yellow color, I thought there could be something extra added to keep her attention. We've owned floats before that had little toys attached to the front where babies could play with them while swimming. This float offers no kind of attached toy. Also, there are not handles on the side for parents to hold on to, or even babies. Once again, there were other floats that had built in arm handles. This made it much easier to get a grip on the float while in the pool. It wasn't difficult to keep a grasp on this float, but it sure would have made it a lot easier.
Recommended ?
Considering the trying times we had just finding a float that would "fit", I would recommend this to all chubby babies. Also, the fact that the material is sturdy and we never had one leak is another reason I would recommend this float. I have seen better floats out there with the little extras that make floating a bit funner, but with this one I felt completely safe. If an emergency was to happen, getting my daughter out of the quickly would not have been a problem. So if you can do without the little extras and a couple of other trivial things, then this is a great little learner float.
