Child-Friendly Flotation Devices

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The BabyDobber Keeps Your Baby Safe While Learning How to Swim

— September 26, 2013 — Life-Stages
Swimming is a skill that everyone should learn, and this BabyDobber device will ensure that your little one will be safe and secure while getting acquainted with what can be pretty scary at first.

Designed by John Behage, the BabyDobber is a flotation device that includes a donut-shaped support system as well as an attached seat. Your child can sit comfortably in the water while being nestled inside the donut; I'm starting to think this should be made for adults as well. Currently released on the European market, the BabyDobber lets your baby bob, dip and float in the pool while you can rest easy knowing that they are in safe hands.

If you're not impressed yet, John Behage's work has been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in Amsterdam.
Trend Themes
1. Child-friendly Flotation Devices - The BabyDobber offers a safe and secure way for babies to learn how to swim.
2. Comfortable Water Seats - The donut-shaped support system and attached seat in the BabyDobber provide a comfortable experience while swimming.
3. Adult-sized Flotation Devices - There is potential for creating flotation devices similar to the BabyDobber that cater to adult swimmers.
Industry Implications
1. Swimwear and Water Gear - Swimwear and water gear manufacturers can collaborate with the BabyDobber creator to produce more child-friendly flotation devices.
2. Swimming Lessons and Schools - Swimming lesson providers can integrate the BabyDobber into their curriculum to ensure the safety and comfort of young learners.
3. Home and Pool Safety - Companies in the home and pool safety industry can explore partnerships with the BabyDobber designer to promote water safety for children.
