Title: Baby float with massage function

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to the technical field of articles for swimming, and particularly relates to a baby float with a massage function. 
     BACKGROUND 
     At present, the baby floats mainly include a neck type and an axillary type. The neck type float is easy to injure the cervical vertebrae of the infant and may severely compress the trachea to suffocate the infant. The axillary type float is easy to generate buoyancy imbalance, causing a user to roll. Other types of floats also have some potential safety hazards. Because the floats and the infant are not fixed firmly, the infant is separated from the floats and the infant falls into the water. 
     To solve the above problems, the applicant proposes a lying ring for infants to China National Intellectual Property Administration, with publication number of CN209479928U. The lying ring adopts a wearable adjustment positioning structure, which not only can fix a baby firmly, hut also can reduce the hidden danger of safety. Moreover, the length of shoulder straps and a crotch connecting strap can be adjusted in place at one time without the need of separate wearing adjustment; wearing is simple, and time consumption is short. 
     The above technical solution has advantages, but has no massage function. Because many babies are basically in a static floating state on the float and body movement is less, good body stretching and massage effects cannot be achieved through swimming. In addition, the existing float does not have a temperature measurement function, and water temperature cannot be monitored in real time.
