Not As Good As I Hoped

I purchased this just a week ago for my 2-year-olds, and unfortunately it did not work well for us. Neither of my children could consistently keep their face above water. The flotation shirt tended to tip them forward so their face went into the water, or flip them fully onto their back, which made them uncomfortable and scared. They seemed to have very little control while wearing it, and I could tell they felt uneasy the entire time. An associate recommended this over puddle jumpers, but I regret taking that advice. For nearly $40 each, I’m not impressed and do not feel safe relying on this product. I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking my eyes off them for even a few seconds — constant hands-on supervision is absolutely necessary.

It Ripped!

I loved this for my 4 year old, it kept her head above the water enough for her to float and move around the pool but it ripped on the side after a few uses.

Received incentive

Great Product

It is a great product. The only issue is when leaning forward it tends to go under the chin and hit the neck.

Great Swim Vest

Bought this for a 4 year ok who is just starting to learn how to swim.

Fits Good

fits well...as described. Great price. Easy u to find videos

Life Vest

I'm thrilled that I bought this item. Very satisfied, will keep it for future kids to use.

Allows Normal Swimming Motion.

Went to get a second child the chest ring with attached arm floats. Found this instead and had to try it. Adjusting straps, sleeves, and no arm floats allows for more natural arm motion for beginning swimmers.

Danger!!

I put this PFD on my nephew and it immediately caused him to go face down in the water. He could not get his face out of the water. He is 4 and k ew what to do, but just couldn't get turned over. I would not recommend this vest. It shouldn't be on the market!

Great Features

My daughter loves this. We love it. She can now join us in the pool and enjoy the lake with very little worries. Great floatation device. Teaches her better form for swimming.

Didn’t Fit Very Well, Had To Return

The weight limit on this said up to 50lbs but when I put it on my child that is only 44lbs and has an average build the life jacket was tight and didn’t fit correctly. I like that this product isn’t high around the neck area and is suitable for children that don’t like to feel confined.
