Where can I buy a swimsuit with polystyrene removable floats?

[Rhiannon]

I've been looking for one of these swimsuits for ages. Nothing in John Lewis. Any ideas? R

Rhiannon - they're on sale in the JoJo maman bebe catalogue. Called Float Suits, they're in blue or red, aged 2-3 or 4-5, price £29.99 - not sure if this is a bit steep? Anyhow, the float bits are removable. The website is www.JoJoMamanBebe.co.uk if you want to check them out.

I've got one called a "poly-otter", a friend got it from Great Little Trading Co. It was a long time ago though.

Blooming Marvellous do them, priced at GBP16.99.

leese, thank you that was exactly the one I'm looking for, bit steep though on the price, anyone seen it cheaper? It's red and stripy with about 6 or 8 removable floats. Thanks. R

Found one for 23.99 here

Polyotter suits are also sold in Lillywhites in London.

Rhiannon,

What size are you looking for? Is it for a boy or girl? I have a girls in the attic somewhere (I think) if you want it. DD last wore it when she was about 12mths.

Ailsa, thanks that's so kind but she's 3.5 years! R

Rhiannon, did you get one of these in the end?

My ds is 3.5 and I don't know whether to get the JoJoMamanbebe suit age 2-3 or the one aged 4-5?

I wish there were chain stores near me that sold these then I could size them- but it seems that these are not on general sale. Strange.

Lil, I bought one from Peter Jones. Personally I would go for the larger size as the one I have anyway, isn't especially generous.

ah good old John Lewis. Thanks Bells I haven't tried there.

Have you tried your local sports centre - ours sells them in the small shop they have on site - priced at £14.99

Theres one Here - Theres also a cheaper swim vest and suit half way down.

Sorry, the only time I don't check my link and it takes you to the home page.

Click on 'go shopping' and a few more headings of 'swimming' and its under 'swimming and bouncey aids'

Thanks for the link Furball, but did you see the prices? they are £34.99 and £37.99 which is even more than the expensive (I thought) ones from Jojomaman at £27.99! Having spent hours searching on the web I will ring my sports centre now .

Maybe they are all so expensive because you they are in short supply and you can't get them in the shops very easily >sigh< who knows!

Lil - Further down the page is £23 one. Also a jacket at £16.

Have you got a Costco near you? They're selling them for £14.00 at the moment

Theres also some here
