Sydney NSW (Aug 6th, 2004) - Introducing an infant to the water can be a challenging experience for both the child and parent. It can also be a serious safety hazard. In fact, according to child safety organizations, more than 350 children younger than five years of age drown in swimming pools every year. Moreover, the American Red Cross reports that an alarming number of injuries occur when the caregiver and baby move in and around pools.
The WaterToT™ infant carrier, from WaterToT Inc, is specially designed to minimize the safety risks while maximizing the fun and joyful bonding experience that occurs when parents bring their infant with them into the water at a swimming pool, lake or beach. Made of an ultra-durable, buoyant neoprene fabric, WaterToT™ is an outward-facing infant carrier that allows parents and child care providers to comfortably and securely attach babies - from eight to 30 pounds - close to their bodies during water recreation or when showering and bathing with a child.
"Parents are aware they need to take proactive measures to safeguard their children in the water", says Geoffrey Dalton, President of WaterToT. "Whether acquainting an infant with the shower or bathtub for the first time or inspiring them to swim and enjoy the water at an early age, it's critical that the child feels safe, confident and secure. WaterToT™ was designed to do exactly that … and more," says Dalton. "Not only does it provide a more safe and easier way for parents to introduce an infant to the water, it makes the experience much more enjoyable and comfortable for both the child and parent."
