The circles of this manufacturer are designed for children aged 0 to 24 months and are able to withstand weight up to 12 kg. The outer diameter of this product is 36-37 centimeters, and the inner diameter is 8 centimeters.

Baby Swimmer's circles are presented in different colors, as well as several series (“I love”, “flora”, “glamor”). They are made of dense but soft material, equipped with reliable latches and durable valves. Baby Swimmer's circle material is hypoallergenic and safe. The manufacturer confirms this with documents on compliance with all sanitary standards.

Circle on the neck of this Russian manufacturer is designed for a child's weight up to 18 kg and is used at the age of 0-2 years. The product is made of durable material, and there are rattles in its air chambers. For fastening such a circle, there are two fasteners on the product, and for parents to help the baby to swim and control the position of the child, there are handles on the circle.

Products of this brand are intended for babies from birth to 2 years of age.

The length of all fasteners is adjustable, and inside the inflatable chambers there are rattle balls.

It is best to purchase a circle around the neck in large stores, choosing a product from a trusted manufacturer. In this case, you will be sure that you bought a collar from a safe and non-toxic material. So that you do not get a poor-quality thing, carefully inspect the circle at the time of purchase. Ensure that the product is complete and not damaged.

If the circle is purchased in winter, then after returning home, it should not be removed from the packaging within 1 hour. After unpacking the product and removing all the labels, gently straighten the circle, then open the valves through which air will flow.

Next, start to inflate the circle - first a smaller camera (located below), and then a larger one (upper). Inflate the product slowly until the bends and all the folds are completely unfolded. So that the air easily gets inside the chambers of the circle, the nipple on the valve should be slightly compressed. When the pumping is completed, the nipple is released and closed, after which both valves sink into the circle.

If, as a result, you see two air-filled chambers with separation between them, as well as a contour to support the baby’s neck and the place where the baby’s chin will be, then you have inflated the circle correctly.

Place your hands on the fixing velcro at the back of the circle (they are at the top and bottom), and then disconnect them.Slowly dissolve the parts of the circle so that the child’s neck fits into the resulting opening. Do not pull on the velcro. After putting on the circle, release the divorced parts to give them a starting position. Make sure that the chin of the crumbs is located in the place intended for its fixation. Next, adjust the Velcro so that the inner contour of the circle fits snugly to the neck of the baby, then fix the fasteners.

In order for the crumb not to be frightened by an unfamiliar thing, in the first bathing, do not put a circle on the baby’s neck, but put the product on the water so that it floats next to the child. You can also let your child play with a circle outside the bathroom. Let the baby get used to the product, otherwise swimming will not be his joy.

An inflated collar should not be worn in water, nor should it be removed without taking the child out of the bath. Before you put the baby in the circle in the water, once again make sure that all the fasteners are firmly fixed and that the inner contour of the product fits to the crumbs of the neck. At the same time, the circle should not press the baby around the neck, and suppose a small gap between the accessory and the neck.
