Confidence included.
******Never assume that this is a replacement for full/direct parental supervision of any child wearing a Puddle Jumper. ******* Was at the pool and saw a group of young children playing with puddle jumpers on (pre-k)asked their mom where they got them, she said amazon. It really seemed to me that those kids really enjoyed swimming more than my daughter which wore a water-ski style floatation device/ jacket from a local wholesale club. Although this particular design I could not find locally, they do carry these in other designs locally ['marts (you'll have to look around) ]but my little Ariel didn't want those. Had to be this one. Using an iPad to view this, the colors match the Puddle Jumper I received. This amazon item was not overpriced either; PLEASE do not pay over 30+s&h. My daughter is 47lbs 3'6" and she swam the length of the pool several times, like a pro. It really seemed to boost her confidence while in water, while not exactly timid or hydrophobic before hand, she was reluctant to leave the shallow end where her feet could touch and actually practice the kicking / arm movements she was being taught. I think it is enough of a crutch that it will eventually be unnecessary in a few seasons. The thing I really liked about Puddle Jumpers is it did not chafe her, it did not slide up to her neck, and it was not cumbersome. It's Coast Guard certified for a certain size boat, idk what size but it did say on the tags which were attached to the life vest. Stearns' website was just as vague as Amazons specs. These are Inherently buoyant, IIRC. Never mind I'll dig it out, per the vest: (condensed) SPECIAL USE -TYPE V PFD / INTENDED USE: Flotation Device. --CHILD-- USER WEIGHT: 30-50 lbs. (14-23 kg) Blah blah blah....This is a substitute for Type III PFD-- ONLY WHEN WORN. USCG approved wearable device for uninspected commercial vessels less than 40 ft (12 m) in length not carrying passengers for hire and for recreational boats. Not approved for personal watercraft , for skiing, or similar towed uses. Blah blah blah.... MUST BE WORN WITH BUCKLE IN BACK.... Blah blah....DO NOT CARRY HEAVY OBJECTS- HEAVY OBJECTS IMPAIR FLOTATION. Not designed to turn an unconscious wearer face up in the water... It's design provides a stable position in calm water with their head tilted back...Blah blah blah. UL LISTED FLOTATION AID. ---------------------------------------------------(Forgive me I do not want to write the entire listing on the PFD as there is a great deal of counterfeiting on the internet, and I do not wish to contribute to it. I hope the readers understand.)-------------------------------------- What I got from the above is, USCG Approved if your boat is for pleasure not for hire, then this PFD is a substitute for a type III PFD --at your own risk of course. Made for calm water, no chop. Also bear in mind that if a person/child were to grab the wearer of a puddle jumper it would impair flotation by adding additional weight. Something to think about if swimming in pools or lakes, crowded or not, with other children or unseasoned swimmers which ties to my very first statement. This review I intended for it to be short, so thanks for reading!

Cute, safe and functional!
My nearly 2 year old loves these. She was fighting us for more independence in the water (she didnt want to be held) and so I looked into vests that would keep her safe, whilst letting her move around without an adult holding her. This vest does a great job of supporting her body in a way that makes it easy to keep her head above water. She was able to splash around (including going up and down steps and "jumping" off the step ledge) all while keeping her head up. I feel like this is going to be a great tool in helping her learn to swim. Even in one swim session, she was learning a lot about how to move her body in the water. (Please note that while I was looking for something that helped her gain independence, she ALWAYS has adult supervision in the water, as should all young children. I'm very aware of the stats regarding infant drowning and want to stress that this product is fantastic at allowing your child to develop SOME independence in moving around the water, but an adult always should be present).

Highly recommend this for water and boat safety
My two year old loves this thing. This floaty has given her the confidence to jump in and out of the pool. She is now able to jump in and out without wearing it during her swim lessons. She is 2 years old and was average height and weight at her two year appointment. She wears it at the tightest possible setting and it works well in the pool. Out of the pool it does still look a bit big and the arm pieces do sag a bit when wet and out of the pool. However, the chest part stays in place in and out of the pool and together with the arms it is in no danger of sliding down. I’m happy that this will last a long time since there is plenty of room to grow.

A must have!
I bought one of these years ago for my son and now that my daughter is old enough I bought this one for her. She wasnt really a water kid like my boys are so this was a must. It helped make her feel safe and comfortable in the water. It keeps her upright and above the water. It never lays her forward or backward like traditional life jackets. If you have a toddler and are going anywhere around water, this is a must. The product is perfect. Its adjustable and the designs are super cute. It also holds up well. We used this all summer long and it still looks brand new.

Flexes with movement and U.S. Coast Guard approved PFD
These type of personal floatation device is awesome. I feel like this has given my toddler more confidence in the water. There are multiple layers of Styrofoam so it allows more movement and doesn't seem to compress like other styles of life jackets. This also allows for easy play on the shore. It is approved as a PFD in the U.S. but check your country if wanting to use it on open water. Very easy to take on and off and also to tighten.

Buy these! They are great!!!
These are not just your everyday puddle jumpers floaties thingys. No these turn your child into a fearless water animal. This is what happened to our toddler. We went to the beach and they were a little scared the first day. Then the puddle jumpers got put on. It was on like donkey Kong ! This toddler all of a sudden had no fear of any water. So when I say these are awesome I mean These are awesome! As in said toddler would jump into the pool by themselves and swim by themselves. These keep their head above the water and allow them to move their arms enough and be able to lean forward a little to be able to kick their feet to move around in the pool. So yes they work. They work great!

I guess it's my own fault for not reading the description carefully. I imagined that this would be an inflatable product like water wings, with a bonus chest bit to make it all the more floaty. What it is, is an honest-to-goodness certified PFD. As a result, it's not ideal for travel because it takes up a lot of space, but it serves its purpose as a flotation device very effectively. It's designed to keep your kid upright in the water, and angled slightly back. As a bonus, my kid absolutely loves it, so getting it on is no struggle at all.

Me gusto mucho, es fácil de usar y seca muy rápido, mi pequeña se sentía muy segura y cómoda para nadar sin que se le suba al cuello como con otros chalecos.

Amazing product. Our 19 month old felt comfortable from the first session. The head always stays above water so no worries about letting them go on their own for a bit. Great, safe design I'd recommend to anyone.
