We bought this one as my son outgrew the previous size. It does not have the under leg loop, but as long as you fit it properly around the chest and waist, it's safe and the kid wo n't slip. The colors are nice and bright. My son's new favorite as he can secure the buckles himself.

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.

[ I got the vest for my 6 Year daughter. She weighs 60lbs now and the vest fits her perfectly. It ’s very well made, fabric is bit thin but colors make it stand out. You can adjust the straps to make the vest fit better. At first it was a bit hard to adjust the straps but once it is loose it ’s no problem. My daughter seemed to be pretty comfortable in it and wore it all the time while in pool. Definitely a great item to have when boating, swimming in the open water or pools.

[ With summer here and going to the beach, lake and pools a good life vest is a must. This one is great quality and seems like it will last a very long time as long as it ’s taken care of and properly stored. It fits really good and the straps are very easy to adjust. When I ’ m the water this one stays put like it should and keeps your little one afloat. I love the color because it makes spotting it very easy.

JLCrumley
[ We recently bought a home with a pool. Safety was first on my mind with little kiddos around the pool, especially my toddler. This life jacket gives me piece of mind. It fit her snuggly. You can adjust the straps to ensure it fits properly. She thinks she ’s the coolest baby around when wearing it! Even I let go of her in the water to see how she would float, it kept her upright and her face away from the water. The life jacket bobs right up when submerged in the water. A must buy for your kiddo ’s safety around the water!!

Kristina87
I bought this product a year ago. I have used it with my( 2. 5 year old then and) now 3. 5 and my oldest son now 5. The are easy to take on and off. The feature of removing the pads slowly is awesome. My youngest has all the pads in and my oldest has two pass removed now and is learning to swim great. It keeps them a float quickly rising them to the surface if they jump in the water. It does n't shift on them at all when tightened appropriately and also not invasive if they are n't in the water. They do n't mind walking around with it on. I love that they can be independent in the water at this age.
5
DanaC83
We received this as a birthday gift for my son that just turned 4. Keeps his head above water but also makes him have to use his arms and legs in a swimming manner to move. Within 2 weeks, he was swimming sans float. This is the best gift he got! If you want your child to learn how to swim, this is the float to get!
5
Ogdubious
This should be for kids who are ready to move away from the floats that prop them up. My daughter was nervous when first starting out- sat lower in the water, and she thought she was sinking. It did not take long for her to be independent with this float PLUS she had freedom with her arms to really do more work in learning to swim.

If you are looking for something that completely holds child up and out of the water with no attention from you, then this is not for you. However, if you are looking for something to help your child actually learn to swim on their own, there is literally nothing better- or even close!!! I have been looking for this exact product since last summer, as I used it for my 2 older children and there is nothing even close to as good to teach a child to swim on their own. They are now 16 and 14, and could swim 100% independently at 2 and 3 thanks to this product. Flotation in both front and back, unlike traditional bubbles, but without arm flotation, like the newly popular puddle jumper, which restricts arm movement to correctly `` swim '' properly. Puddle jumpers are great if you want a ton of flotation, but too much if you want to actually teach to swim. But this Swimways `` vest '' allows you to slowly and gradually reduce the amount of flotation by removing 1 pad at a time from the front or back or both. You can control if they are leaning too far forward or back by adjusting the number of pads. By removing 1 or 2 pads at a time, you can reduce the amount of flotation gradually, so your child can get used to less help and having to do more to stay afloat and learn to swim until eventually swimming on their own. Other devices go from 100% flotation to 0- where this goes 100% to 90% to 80% and so on down to an Independent Swimmer!!!!

[ This swim trainer life jacket seems to be of great quality and definitely seems like a life jacket that is made well and can be trusted. I like how they did the design for kids.
