~BE CAUTIOUS WHEN USING THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT~
This is the message I intended to all.

I wrote this letter to hopefully get the word out to other moms/dads/grandparents/babysitters/aunts/uncles/friends to be very cautious and DO NOT 'assume' such as I did that this device would keep your child safe in/around water. "False sense of security" is the perfect phrase for what I felt. I take absolutely 100% responsibility of what happened that day and can assure you as well as my daughter that I will never allow that to happen again. I have gone through my own emotional torment over this and wish I could have been more careful at that moment, but all I can do now is take this as a learning experience, pass the word, and thank God I can still tuck my daughter in at night.

The fact that she was face down and trying to turn herself over and could not because the suit wouldn't allow her to is my concern about this product. This life suit, life-preserver, whatever you want to call it, (it was not a pair of floaties) was the appropriate size for her. It was intended for children up to 33 lbs- my daughter is 30lbs! There wasn't any adjusting to it. I couldn't take anything out or add more into it. It was all one piece sewn together. I don't know whether the suit is designed to automatically make the child's face go up, that's why I am asking Speedo to reevaluate it to possibly make it do so- because it didn't with my child. All I know is it did help her stay afloat but what good is that if she can't get her face out of the water?
