Customer Reviews

Keep your kids safe
We use this life jacket at the beach. we got it to go to Hawaii so we could all enjoy the water together and it works great. My son is comfortable in it and has no problem wearing it on the beach and in the water. He can come out in the deeper water with us and we don't have to worry about holding him and up and keeping ourself afloat too. Use it and be safe.

Good infant vest.
Our 4 month old son (16 lbs) wore this life vest for the last week on a family vacation. I doubt any infant enjoys wearing any life vest, our son eventually resigned to the fact that if we were in the boat, the vest was necessary. The highest buckle (below the chin) was a little constricting, but necessary to hold a baby's face upright if ever int he water. We really liked the simplicity of this vest. Plastic buckles over zippers that we saw on other vests w/ similar weight ranges. We also liked that the vest will work up to 50 lbs. Most of the neoprene vests that we saw only work up to 30 lbs. The only benefit of another style vest for an older, more active (ambulatory) child would be to have a vest w/ a v-neck cut.

Nice option for 2+ years of use
According to Stearns, this PFD is good for infants AND children up to 50lb, so it beats all the other options I have seen in size flexibility. I bought a Dora one locally for my daughter 2 years ago, and it still fits. I bought the blue one from Amazon this week for my infant son. They both are made fine for a basic life vest, and they help save a little money, since in theory, the kids can use them until ~50 pounds. Stearns is a well respected company, so I trust their weight rating system is pretty accurate.

No life vest will fit an infant perfectly comfortable, so adult judgment needs to be used on how long to keep him or her out on the water.
