COMING 2027
NAMI
Our next generation float that meets every testing requirement set by the CPSC.
NAMI has passed every test in the CPSC’s new Neck Float Safety Standard at Intertek, a CPSC-accepted laboratory (September 2026).
✅ PASSED
BUOYANCY TEST
Keeps your baby’s head above water, even when the float is soft.
NAMI met the CPSC’s buoyancy requirement at a tested weight capacity of up to 32 lbs, at the 0.1 psi air pressure the rule specifies. For comparison, the flotation-device test method CPSC adapted specifies pressures up to 0.58 psi.
✅ PASSED
CONDITIONING
Simulates years of heat, cold, chlorine, salt, and sun before the other tests even begin.
Before performance testing, NAMI was exposed to 140°F (60°C) for 8 hours, then 14°F (−10°C) for 8 hours, followed by 24 hours at room temperature. Next came an 8-hour soak in chlorinated salt water and 250 hours of UV exposure. NAMI then passed the buoyancy, neck opening, and restraint system tests after these exposures.
✅ PASSED
RESTRAINT SYSTEM TEST
Makes sure the buckles and straps stay closed.
The buckles are tested for resistance to accidental opening. The straps, fasteners, and attachment points must also withstand repeated pulls of 45 pounds of force without separating.
✅ PASSED
NECK OPENING TEST
Checks that a baby’s head can’t slip through the ring, even when it’s soft and slippery.
CPSC developed head-shaped probes representing smaller heads and necks. A hanging weight equal to 20% of the age group’s 95th-percentile body weight represents the body’s weight in water. The float is tested at 0.1 psi and coated with slippery baby-wash solution. The hanging weight swings through ten 30-second cycles, alternating front-to-back and side-to-side, for five minutes per probe. To pass, the probe must not slip through the neck opening.
