Case Study: Mambobaby Responds to Torrington Mom's Concerns About Float Safety
Torrington, Connecticut – July 2025
Mambobaby recently received a message from a concerned mother in Torrington, CT, regarding the safety of our baby float, which she had purchased through Amazon. The parent expressed hesitation about using the float in the advertised “stand mode”, voicing concerns about potential drowning risks if the child were to fall into the water unexpectedly.
“I can't risk her falling in on 'stand mode' that's advertised if there's the potential she will drown because of this product,” she wrote.
Mambobaby’s Safety-Focused Response
Upon receiving this concern, our team responded promptly to clarify the product’s intended use and essential safety instructions:
-
“Stand mode” refers to using the float with the footrest attached, which allows the child to float in a semi-upright position with enhanced balance and support.
-
The footrest is critical for stability in this mode and should always be installed when in use.
-
Most importantly, this is not a life-saving device. It is a buoyancy aid, designed to be used under direct adult supervision only, with the child kept within arm’s reach at all times.
No floatation product — including arm floats or swim vests — is a substitute for attentive adult supervision.
We also reassured the parent that if she feels uncomfortable using the float, she is welcome to initiate a return through Amazon’s return policy.
