Actually those are the old school floaties that can kill kids, lots of places won't even let kids in the pool with them on. These are the new standard in invincibility
Edit: for those asking, the old style arm bands could cause unintentional drownings because children could end up stuck face down, or in a position where their arms in the floaties were above the water and their heads were submerged (they could also just slip off leading to children getting into trouble in the water), the newer type have straps, as well a flotation device across the chest, so kids can't end up face down and their heads can't get stuck under the water.
arm bands are out of favor (mostly because if they are air filled that aren't coast guard approved because they could pop or deflate). They are hard to find as single arm bands now.
The in thing right now are puddle jumpers. The question is though whether your kid is heavy enough for them.
At 8 months and for a holiday, I would probably go with an inflatable seat and planning on holding him. We mostly did that for our kids before they were walking.
these are what we use for swimming in our pool for our 4 and 5 year old ( they've been using them for a couple years now) and it keeps them afloat even when they jump in. They are rated for a minimum of 30lbs
Edited: you actually did say how big your 3 year old is. Reading comprehension, not my strong suit. Also, I meant to reply overall but replied to a specific comment. I'm already betting today is going to be a rough day for me.
