A 4 month old in a Bumbo seat is not sitting up. If you placed him on the floor in the same position, he would fall over.

A 9 month old in a walker is not walking. If you took away the walker, the baby would topple over.

A 2 year old in a puddle jumper is NOT SWIMMING. If you took the puddle jumper off of that child, the child would drown.

All 3 devices, while convenient for parents, only mimic the actual skill itself that they wouldn't otherwise be able to do without it. The child is relying on the device for support. The muscles recruited (or not recruited) are different from those that would be needed to complete the task independently.

The dangerous aspect is that the child does not know that it is the device that is holding them up and allowing them to "sit", "walk", or "swim".

The more the child uses these devices, the more their muscles learn that "this is the way to sit, to walk, to swim."- it becomes part of their muscle memory.

In the case of the puddle jumper, imagine how dangerous this becomes if a child makes his way to the water without the device.

Ask yourself: If my child made it to the water without it, would he swim?

Can you believe Memorial Day weekend is only ~8 weeks away!? Get your patriotic gear and your swim skills ready!

Family and friends tend gather a little extra come summer and these gatherings often include water. Layers of protection are crucial- arms reach supervision, barriers such as pool fences & door alarms, adults who know CPR, and little ones who have the ability to self-rescue should they meet the water unexpectedly. Bonus: the skills will also allow them to enjoy the water during swim times, without the dependency on a dangerous flotation device that gives them a false sense of security.

There's still time to get your kiddo ISR skilled before Summer...visit www.infantswim.com to find a Certified ISR Instructor near you!
