Set Up

• Prepare water: Use only in a closed, controlled aquatic environment with water around 100°F (38°C) and deep enough for the child to float while wearing Otteroo.
• Check water: Remove sharp objects.
• Inflate inner chamber: Inflate fully, insert the stopper, and press the valve flush with the surface. Do not use a high-pressure pump.
• Inflate outer chamber: Repeat above for outer chamber.

Putting Otteroo On

• Orient: Find area labeled “Chin Rest.”
• Open: Pull / twist the ends apart to create opening for neck.
• Position: Place child’s chin on “Chin Rest” and set Otteroo around neck. Tip: Lean child back against pillow for support.
• Fasten: Close all 4 buckles (2 on each side) and verify each buckle audibly clicks into place. Slide red button to lock.
• Lower child: Support the child’s body when lowering into water. Never lift or lower by Otteroo.

Finish Session

• Lift child: Gently lift the child out of the water by their body.
• Release buckles: Slide red button to unlock. Squeeze both sides of each buckle and pull apart.
• Remove Otteroo: Pull the ends apart and remove from the child.

Maintenance

• Clean: Rinse Otteroo with warm water to remove soap or chlorine.
• Inspect: Check for leaks, damage, or wear before each use.
• Store: Keep Otteroo away from sharp objects.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of child slipping through center opening, verify Otteroo is:

• Fully inflated: Squeeze to confirm it’s firm and holds its shape without noticeable give.
• Leak-free: Submerge fully after inflating and gently squeeze. DO NOT USE if air bubbles appear.
• Snugly fitted: Confirm Otteroo does not rotate freely around the neck and that only one finger fits between the neck and float. DO NOT USE if loose.

• Put Otteroo on yourself (or another adult or sibling) to show baby it’s OK!
• Let baby play with Otteroo outside the water first to get accustomed to it
• Make sure the water temperature is not a shock! Acclimate them first before putting on Otteroo
