My 6 year old daughter, who is a strong swimmer, would love a mermaid tail for swimming pool play. I see there are a couple of options in Dubai to buy one of these but prices vary from around 350AED up to 900AED! Does anyone know why there's such a big difference in prices or can anyone please recommend the best company to buy one from? Any reviews would be really appreciated :)

Thanks for taking time to reply FairyDust and Cherry ripe. Much appreciated! The mermaid tails I've been looking at are swim ones with the mono fins (either already inserted or purchased as part of a set with tail + bikini top) and there seems to a big range in prices. I thought a tried and tested recommendation on quality + appearance would be my starting point. Yes you're right Cherry ripe, there are safety concerns with their use. I would only let DD wear it in the pool when I am in with her, for use in the shallow end only and for short periods of time.

Might be worth just trying a mono-fin first then.

I havent looked at these at all, but please think carefully. There was a news article warning parents about these as a drowning concern as the child's legs are bound together. I will try to find it again to pass on.

I should imagine because it depends whether it's just a costume, or has the actual fin insert for swimming. Also the materials used will make a big difference in price, again whether it's just costume or a serious swimming tail with fin. You'll have to do a bit or research to fin out which ones are which and also they can usually be made for a custom fit. Hope that helps.
