Does the bottom strap ride into the crotch? Is it comfortable while swimming?

Not sure if it's like this for everyone, but I had the same concern and my son never complained once. I even asked him once and he told me it doesn't bother him at all.

The bottom strap is adjustable to suit your child's comfort. My 2 children (a boy and a girl) never complained about it. I loosened it as they became larger & stronger swimmers and the vest was tighter & didn't naturally float up around their neck/ears.If the vest itself is snug around the body, the bottom strap is less important, but still needed.Non-swimmers who don't necessarily use their arms and legs to assist in staying afloat might find a vest floats up/off them. The concept of the strap is to have security in case a non-swimming child could possibly slip out of the vest through its underside. (Small children's PFDs for boating have strap as requirement.)

The bottom strap is adjustable and is very long so can be moved to fit the child.

No...you can't wear it while swimming. This particular model is not waterproof.

The bottom seam doesn't bother me. Yes it is a little snug, but it doesn't cut or dig in. It really just keeps the shorts from crawling up my legs.

I am 210 and 5'11" and I ordered the XL, but it wasn't really large enough for me. It kept riding up over my belly, under my arms and into my neck. I think crotch straps would have prevented this problem, but you will have to retrofit it yourself. It doesn't come with them. It does provide great buoyancy though and is very well made.

I think it is comfortable as it is with no cushion. The seat is contoured and not flat so that helps. We have them on a deck near the pool so it is nice to sit down while wet and not worry abotu a cushion.

It didn't bother me. I don't like it very tight on the top, but at the bottom I do wear it tight so it won;t slide down.

No, but it does keep the strap in place. It is recommended that you use it.

My kids use it. So if its good enough for a baby or toddlers bottom, then its safe to say its comfortable

No, but it has an extra lining all the way through. Definitely designed for swimmers.

yes it has a clip that perfectly fits my bottom of my air, and it is not hurting my wrist at all. I think i feel comfortable with it~~ :)

Absolutely not. The buoyancy padding is primarily on the back and upper sides; the lower portion around the belly is much thinner. No worries here.

The crotch strap on the harness is not adjustable. I didn't find it to be tight on my 18 month old, but I could see it being a potential problem as she gets bigger.

Yes the crotch strap is adjustable. I bought it for my 3 year old daughter. She had out grown her old stroller. There is enough room to grow. I really like it. I kept this one after returning baby jogger vue.

Yes, but I did not find it comfortable around the back strap. So, I went to a rubber grip, which I find more comfortable in my hand.

I clicked yes thinking it was for, yes, I'll answer the question. My real answer if the shorts ride up is -No. I have two pairs and have had no issues. This is a comfortable short.

It is quite comfortable. I wear it under the band of my sportsbra. I've used it for HIIT and yoga and have had no issues.
