STEARNSInfant Classic Boating Vest

My daughter has a fear of water, but is trying not to teach that to her children. We knew we had a family trip coming and her 18 mo old and 3 yr old were going to want to go in the lake with their cousins. I saw these life preservers on sale & immediately ordered them. I was so excited that they were shipped so quickly. They fit perfectly and the kids wore them for hours with no complaints. The wind was very strong, typical summer day in Kansas. With these on, the waves were no issue. The little ones liked wearing them too, which is always a big plus.

It's a relief to have a life vest that fits our toddler well and helps keep her safe. We use it when canoeing, tubing, and even at the beach. She doesn't always love wearing it, but she knows it's part of going on an adventure!

Comfortable, durable, nice bright colors great , life jacket very nice overall a nice product

This life jacket feels quality and I trust it for my little one. It has two buckles, on between the legs to keep baby from slipping out the bottom and one around the abdomen to keep the jacket snug. The zipper is plastic so although it works well, I could see the potential for breaking down with continued use. The part behind babies head is large and would keep them safe if needed, but as a result it's really bulky for baby when on dry land. We used this life jacket for boating and baby needed to wear the jacket the entire time she was on the boat per the law, and she was very frustrated by the limitations to her mobility. Jacket would ride up and limit her ability to turn her head if she sat down, so she needed to be standing to be mildly comfortable. It was very challenging for her to nurse while wearing this.As far as safety goes, I believe this life jacket would do the job, although I hope to never be in the situation to test it. In terms of comfort out of the water, it's a bit too bulky to be comfortable.Child in photo is 10 mo, about 21 lbs

We bought this for our 14 month old, who has not spent anytime in the water. As soon as we put her in the lake the life vest put her right on her back and there she floated safely. She didn't care for floating on her back as she wanted to see what everyone was doing but it did its job. We took her out on the water 2 other times and she loved it. My daughter weighs 14 lbs and is small for her age. We were able to tighten the vest to fit snug and give her support. The vest did come up a little high when she sat down on the paddle board, and so we pulled it down the best we could. Someone a little taller would fit a little better, but its not made for sitting its for floating. It made us feel confident to have her on the water with us knowing the vest worked. We recommend these vest to help keep your little one safe on the water.

my child LOVES the water & we’re big campers, so having this when at the pool, lake, whatever is absolutely a relief. for wise it fits great, he’s less than 30 lbs & secures very nicely on him!! we love the color bc it’s so important to be able to see your kiddo especially around water, so bright red was a necessity & we love that! it adjusts nicely to fit a little more snug around torso & crotch area to keep him safe & sound! & doesn’t obstruct his mobility much either!

My son hates wearing life jackets. And when we tried this on him, he never takes it off. It’s so easy to put on, my son is 20 mos old and this fits perfectly on him. Really secure when you strap him in. Doesn’t take a lot of room when we put it in our check in bags. Dry up easy, easy to clean. Worth the money!

The babies took some time to get used to the material but safety first!
