Last year, we almost lost a grandchild. She had been wearing the popular water wings. The parent was distracted just for a minute. That is all it takes; a second, a minute. She pulled off the wings and jumped right in. We were lucky - there were people trained in CPR in the area and she was revived. This year, we are smart. We bought these wonderful puddle jumpers. Not only is it coast guard approved as a life jacket, but it is not removable by the child wearing it.

This review is from: Stearns Kids Puddle Jumper Deluxe Life Jacket (Sports)
We purchased five different life jackets for the 20 month old twins. The traditional styled ones rode up at the shoulders. The Swimways Power Swimr System was difficult to get on and did nothing to keep the babies' heads above water. Nor did the Speedo UV 50.

We put the Stearns Kids Puddle Jumper on the first baby and she jumped into the pool for the first time in her life and paddled happily around for hours (see photo). The second twin took a little longer learning how to stay upright and she didn't want to take it off.

I dinged it a star, though, because it's so tight in the arms that it is hard to get on and off. It's easier if you get both the jacket and their arms wet first. However, neither twin complained once they got it on and there were no marks on their arms afterwards.

--------------------
The twins are now three and can still wear their jackets although they take them off for swimming lessons. Their younger brother is a bit... Read more

I bought this for my can't-swim-but-loves-to-jump-into-the-pool 2-year-old. I need him to be safe around our yard. I was attracted by the USCG rating and the reviews.

My son is a skinny little dude, barely 30 pounds, and there is only about an inch of the belt hanging out when we cinch it around him. I don't know how a 50-lb kid would ever be able to snap the belt around him. My son was able to pull his (dry) arms right out of the sleeves when we put it on. I don't think that he would be able to slither out of the other part, but that was a disturbing revelation.

Still, something is better than nothing, so we proceeded to the pool. My son quickly got the hang of it and was able to flip back to his tummy every time he inadvertently bobbed onto his back. This PFD does NOT (and does not claim to) keep your child's head out of the water. He must be able to do that himself. The chest part of this rode up to my son's armpits/chin whenever he was floating (as opposed to... Read more
