I bought this a months ago for my son and it fit perfect and worked great

5 Drewby
This vest is comfortable for my kids to wear all day on the boat. They have good range of movement and are still able to fish. And if they are swimming with this vest on, it seems very buoyant and keeps them upright. Some vests tend to make the kids lean forward with face towards water.

4 Watergoddess
Great fit. Great color. Kids love it and feel comfortable while I feel content they are safe.

4 Kayaking Wilsons
I bought this for our grandson who is 4 to use while kayaking. Great vest as it doesn ’ t bunch up and gave him room to move.

5 Johnny
[ Bought 2 of these for my 2 y/o and 5 y/o and it fits great on both kids. Took it out to the lake and both the kids flipped the inflatable raft and took a dip in the lake. Worked just as expected and kept the kids floating upright until we could get them back high n dry in the boat. They 're not too bulky either which is a plus but saftey wise give it a A+.

5 Mike
[ Only had a chance to take the kids out once so far, but they love their new PFD's. Much safer than puddle jumpers and they get to look like grown ups

5 Ryan
[ Good life jacket fits the kids well. Just make sure to teach them float in a type II style as this has no collar like the type III. Great price.

I bought this for my daughter to give her more independence in the water. It encourages her to use her arms more than other products. I ’ ve noticed a big improvement with her swimming since buying this.

5 Octopus aka Noreene
Perfect for my 15 months old granddaughter that was too small to fit the arm inflated swimming vest. Great price at Dick ’s Sporting Goods.

5 Momof3toddlers
Bought 3 of these for my toddlers they are amazing. So much better than puddle jumpers or arm floats my kids can actually swim and expand their skills. All 3 started a little hesitant with the new change but within a short time could independently move around the pool with confidence even jumping in and going down the slide. Plus the price is way better then most other options and they are compact with no inflation. Only 2 draw back after 1st use held water and took awhile to dry and the strap between the legs rubbed all 3 raw on their legs next time will try not using the strap. Overall sold and happy. Game changer in the pool.

5 Chase5393
This has helped my daughter swim on her own so quickly.

5 Momof4AndGrandma
The one- star reviews did not give this a chance. I used it for my youngest two kids because I did not know about it sooner( a friend recommended it). Now I am using it with my granddaughter. There is a slight learning curve because they have to learn to balance themselves using the swimming motions. You need to be with them the first few times( it varied with my kids). One of them just took off in about 10 minutes. The other was more timid, so it took her a few days. But then they are completely independent, and I just removed a bit of the buoyancy as they became stronger. Then they just did not want to wear it anymore.
