Thanks for a great post! I find that the Speedo version of the “puddle jumper” is better; the shoulder straps keep the child more stable and well attached in the water. Speedo also has a better fit for my young toddler and scrawny 4 year old.
Re floafers- your post says good for wider feed but I have actually found the opposite- floafers were way too narrow for my chubby footed toddler and natives worked a lot better
