Best flotation device ever! May 11, 2009
By E. Engler
"babymanatee"
My 2 year old son loves his floatie! We both love the freedom it gives him to move around in the water. He doesn't have to be held anymore which he loves! He'll float on his back, front, and upright of course! It does not flip him face down as other life vests we've tried. Also, he is under 30 lbs (the manufacturer says it fits from 30-50 lbs) and it fits him just fine. He is 26 lbs. I almost didn't buy it because of this but am so glad I did!

Awesome for use in all bodies of water Jun 27, 2009
By Carmen Mosley Sims The grandparents bought our 2-yo and 4-yo each one of these, and we could not be more pleased. We have used them in the pool, the lake, and even the Gulf. They provide much more stability than water wings, but allow more freedom of movement than the full-body flotation suits. The kids notice a huge difference, and it shows in their confidence in the water. Within minutes of wearing the Puddle Jumpers, our 4-year-old (who is generally timid in even bathwater) was leaping off the diving board and wanting to be tossed in the air.
Two points of warning, which are not enough to warrant even a one-star deduction: If your child is on the smaller side, you will want to be *sure* you cinch the strap tightly around his chest. Our 2-year-old has never slipped out of his suit, but a couple of times when we loosened the strap the wings slipped down below his elbows. If he had wanted to, he might could have pulled his arms out.
Also, I am not kidding about these suits inspiring confidence in your kids. You may find your kids feel invulnerable around the water, even when they aren't wearing the vest. You will want to be sure their confidence doesn't make you less vigilant in monitoring the kids in the water. No life vest or flotation device is absolutely fool-proof, and any kid can find himself suddenly in distress.
Have a fun and safe summer, everyone!

Excellent product!!! Sep 19, 2008
By Y. Ortiz My son is 2 1/2 and was afraid of being in the water - he was always clinging on to me. We have tried 5 or more different types of live vests and devices and nothing made him feel safe..until puddle jumpers. He loves it, it is comfortable and he is able to "swim and move around" by himself. We have only tried it in the pool, not in the ocean or lake where there might be rougher waters. But it works, he is confident and enjoys the water more than ever. My son is loving the movie Finding Nemo, so the orange one was excellent for him. This product is very much worth the money.

Safety without the bulk Sep 24, 2009
By Noname It's so nice to finally find a coast guard approved floatation device that is not bulky. It's basically like those floaties the kids wear on their arms, except these are foam with an added pad in front of their chest.
My kids love them. They can move around freely in them. I wasn't sure they could at first glance. That the devices are so cute is a plus.
Good for the pool for kids who can't swim.
UPDATE:
My kids have had this for about a year. They can swim, but hey still enjoy wearing it now and then. I get lots of comments from parents wanting to buy them. It's obvious when you see it in action how comfortable the children are wearing this coastguard approved floatation device. The best thing is they are allowed in public pools that don't allow floaties.

Great Product! Jun 30, 2008
By TCBMG I think this vest is wonderful! My 2 year old wears this in the pool and swims all over. He even jumps in the water and he comes right up. This keeps his face out of the water, but he's kept at a good angle for swimming too. Overall, this is perfect, I definitely recommend this!
