We have a 3 1/2 year old who loves using her float ring in the pool. Our son has just turned 1...and he's been doing great in a float for infants. They're both supervised while in the pool and the higher water makes it much easier for us to have fun WITH our children. I can't help but think that it would quickly become a pain having to bend down to play with our kids in the pool.

any way you decide...have fun!
