Summer is coming and children will soon be able to start enjoying the pool and beach days (well, at least we hope so if time allows). Water toys for our children like floats and sleeves These are items that we must buy with a head, as many violate the safety regulations and their use can mean serious risks.
According to controls carried out in Andalusia by Consumer inspectors, more than half of aquatic toys such as mats, floats, sleeves, inflatable chairs, life jackets and other items of this type violate the standards established for the protection and safety of consumers and users.
The function of these toys is to help flotation as support for children who are learning to swim. Your safety must be guaranteed to the fullest as a failure could endanger your life.
The main deficiency of these articles is in the labeling, which does not specify the safety measures, or the child's weight range, and after the article has not passed the puncture resistance tests, or in other words, it they prick too easily.
There are some floats or vests in which babies can easily slide or tip over, or the safety valve may fail.
At the time of buying floats, sleeves and other water toys We must first choose the site where we buy, and then verify the labeling, which is in Spanish and verify that it is an approved article that complies with European safety regulations.
And of course, watch the child at all times when in the water.
