Stearns Kids Puddle Jumper Deluxe Life Jacket Review.
"Fantastic Swim Aid for Kids" 2010-05-05
By Joan Eismann-Perry (Portland, OR USA)
I bought 3 of these for my grandchildren - 2-year old twins and a 5-year old. They loved them and were able to really enjoy our hot springs vacation. I felt comfortable knowing these qualify as Class 3 Personal Flotation Devices.
"Great Life Jacket" 2010-06-17

We purchased this for my 17 month old, who weighs 25 pounds. This fits him just fine, and keeps him above water. He can slip out of the arms easily, but he will keep them on. I do like it despite the ability to slip them off.

This puddle jumper is awesome. My 3 1/2 year loves it, he can't wait to put it on at the pool. It's just right in that it keeps him a float but that he has to still kick and paddle to keep his chin/neck above the water. I really think with this we are fast on our way to getting him comfortable in the water and teaching him how to swim with confidence.

I just bought one for my son. He is about 45 lbs. and it fits him well. He is able to float with it on his back and on his stomach and the puddle jumper keeps him safe. The arm bands don't chafe at all and seem to be very comfortable. He loves putting it on and jumping in the water with it. Excellent product.

These are the best! I have a 3yo and a 4yo...both wear these when we go swimming or to the water park and everyone is happy. I am happy because these do an excellent job of keeping them afloat and they do not fall off or come off easily (like the tubes or the arm floaties). The children are comfortable and love the freedom these give them...they can easily get in and out of the water without me having to stop them to put back on their floaties or wait for me to help them. I still have to keep a good eye on them, of course, but we are all happier and more comfortable in and around the water with these. And it's nice that they are rated as a personal flotation device. The material (outside and inside) is very much like a life jacket, but is more comfortable to wear it seems. It's very adjustable in the back to fit smaller ones and older kids.
