Child Life Jacket with Heads-Up Flotation, USCG Approved Type II Kids Life Vest for Pool, Beach, Lake, Boating & More, Youth PFD

I bought 2 of these last summer for my 3 & 5 year old and I LOVE them (so do my kids!) it makes all of us feel at ease, it fits them perfectly around the chest and the strap that goes between there legs make them feel extra secure. Both my boys are still learning to swim so this has helped them feel safer in the water and also if we go out on the boat I can feel much better knowing they have such a high quality life jacket. The material seems very high quality, and the weight/sizing seems spot on. I overall give 15/10 this has exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend!

I did some research before buying a life vest for my son, and I appreciated the positive reviews and certifications this life vest came with. It feels like it’s going to last many swim trips, probably more than we are going to be able to go on before my son reaches the 50lb weight limit. It has a nice little cushion on the crotch strap and all of the buckles feel tight and firm. This specific life vest id designed for children who are not yet confident swimmer, so the back headrest helps to keep their heads afloat. I also appreciated the safety cards that it came with, as it just went over the importance of wearing a life vest and shared some statistics, like how 80% of people who tragically died from falling overboard a small boat did not have a life vest of some sort. It truly does save lives. I’d buy this again!

Update: I had originally purchased the "child" sized vest for my daughter, and have liked it so much that I just purchased the "youth" size for her as she is now outgrowing the smaller one (she is just over 50 lbs now). We use a more compact vest for fun at the beach or pool under supervision, but I do not think you can beat this vest for boating with a child. I really like the strap between the legs to keep her secure, the pull handle on the back so I can grab/wrangle her if needed, and that it forces her to float on her back with her head out of the water. Original: I purchased this for my daughter who is just over 30 pounds and has just started learning to swim. After some research, I decided I needed a few criteria for a child's life vest: it had to be Type II rated (this makes the person wearing it float face up even if they cannot swim or are unconscious) , it needed a grab handle, and it needed good adjustment straps for a snug fit as well as a strap between the legs so it could not slide up over her head. This product is one of the few I could find that covered all my requirements. I also like the very bright green color for safety visibility as well. We have not used it boating yet, but my wife took the vest with our daughter to her swimming class this morning and the instructor said he would rate this vest a 10 out of 10 for a child's safety. The instructor took her in the water and she floated comfortably on her back with no effort at all. Again, my daughter is just over 30 pounds, and the adjustment straps made for a perfect fit with room to grow (she is just at the bottom of the rating for this vest which is 30-50 lbs). I would not recommend this for a child smaller than 30 pounds, but it does seem perfectly sized for the range it is rated at, with good adjustment range. The vest zips up the front to keep it securely closed, then the three straps (two around the torso and one between the legs) can be adjusted to keep the vest exactly where it needs to be while remaining comfortable. I used the grab handle on the back to pick my daughter up off the floor (which she thought was fun, so it was not uncomfortable) and she did not slide down in the vest at all. The back flotation pad sits across the shoulders, out of the way, but floats up behind the head when in the water.

We purchased this for our 3 year old granddaughter to use in our swimming pool. It helps keep her head up and a float at all times. She has no hesitation wearing this as it is very lightweight and comfortable! Perfect size and great value. We absolutely love it.

I got this for my 3 yo at the time grandson when I took him to Dauphin Island, AL. He wore it anytime we were around water and never complained. He was safe and comfortable and that was exactly what I was looking for! The color was perfect for knowing where he was in the water at all times!

Got it for my 3 year old to wear at the beach. Worked great. He didn’t mind wearing it at all

Works well for my 3 year old grandson when we take him on the boat.

It took a while to find a Type II PFD for my nearly 3 year old. Some products said they were Type II (with the head-pillow float) but the reviews said they really weren't. This one truly is. Although I held on to my daughter at all times in the lake, because of her constant moving, she would bob up and down, and her head never went underwater. She could lean back and "float" on her "pillow" as she called it (and when she was tired at the end of the day, she just leaned back on it and fell asleep, so it's not too far off of a description!). It is LIME GREEN... with caps... truly bright. You can spot it anywhere. The handle at the top comes in handy, in case you have to pull them out of the water ASAP (a bonus is that you can hang it on the wall for storage). As for the strap for between the legs... it's as comfortable as it can be. We adults wouldn't like it, but the kids get used to it quick, despite the occasional "wedgie". The "snap" point for it is a bit off center so that it doesn't interfere with the chest straps. The strap's buckle was hard even for me to open, so I had to put her leg through to put the life jacket on. I don't mind it because I know she wasn't going to get it off. The strap has a felt cover that helps against chaffing between the legs. Overall, I'm glad I got this PDF. I knew my daughter was going to be safe at the lake. Definitely would recommended it. As for size, I might say it fits from about ages 2-5, for an average sized child. We'll see how long it lasts... *****UPDATE: YEAR 2. Still love it and it still fits great for nearly 4-year old, 38 lb child******
