Body Glove Paddle Pals Learn to Swim Coast Guard Approved Kids Life Jacket PFD

We’ve had this for about 3 years now and it is great. High quality and gave my kid the confidence to swim all over. Bright colors for added safety. No inflation needed. It is a tad on the bulky side, but not too much.y child float easily and feels secured. I am not sure about the 55 lbs weight max. I guess if it was a taller kid with a slim built, but once 40lbs were reached, it was a very tight fit.

These floaties are AMAZING. I wasn’t too sure about them, and I wasn’t sure how my son was going to like wearing them. We put them on him for the first time today, they went right on and I didn’t even have to adjust the back strap. The arm floats were a little big, but just enough so they weren’t too tight and he has a little more room to grow. He had no problem wearing them, and within 5 minutes of being in the water, he was off on his own (as in a few feet away from me, swimming and twirling around). Within 15 minutes, he was jumping off rafts into the water all on his own, laughing and having a blast, not scared at all. Last summer he wouldn’t even go in the pool without me, and only me, holding him. So I was skeptical about how he’d handle these. They worked perfect, and made him feel safe and secure. They made me feel safe too. Now it’s only been a day, so I don’t know how long they will last, but if and when they do need replacing, I will be getting this product again, and I will be using this product when my 6 month old is ready for them as well. I never leave reviews either, but I had to for this product. I can’t believe how easy my son warmed up to the pool while wearing these, he felt so safe. Worth the money! I’d give ten stars if I could. Btw my son is 2 1/2 years old, and weights about 35 pounds and like I said, they fit really well, and he still had some room in his arm floats.

Amazing! Coast Guard certified and works great! Gave our 2 year old so much confidence in the water when he wouldn’t let go of me before because he feared the water. Adorable dinosaur design and gave me so much peace of mind while having 2 kids under 5 at the pool!!

Best floaty for my small 2 year old. He’s 22 pounds and most other “puddle jumpers” are too big, too low on the chest, or don’t keep him afloat. This one fits him so well and he can be independent in the pool! We have the same one for my 4 year old who is 30 pounds so I know it will last him a long time!

Buy this life vest!!! There is a reason these have a 4.8 rating with 17,000 purchases!! My grandson, age 2, had a different swim vest/water wings last year and his body was tipping too far forward with his face barely out of the water. So I researched until I found this Coast Guard approved vest. He now floats high above the water and is completely upright and safe in the pool! Thank god I found this! My daughter and son-in-law LOVE the vest and the safety. Buy a very bright color so they are easy to see.

My 4yo got really comfortable in water with this. a better choice than floating rafts. Originally I ordered a safety vest but it did not arrive and then was told to reorder when it went up significantly. so i got this instead. a much better choice for learning but for open water i would use another type of vest.

My SIL (who used to be a lifeguard) recommended this one to us. She said to only get ones that are Coast Guard approved. We’ve been using this for about 3 years now (but only used it 3-4 times) and it’s held up great! My son is on the smaller side so the fit is still good, we bought it when he was 2 years old and he’s 5 now! The strap and buckle are in the perfect place that he can’t reach to take it off without my or daddy’s help. He can swim easily and if he does happen to jump into the pool a little hard it pops him right back up! He is never in the pool without me or daddy but I’m super paranoid and this helps give me peace of mind to know that he’s okay while we teach him how to swim!

My 5 year old loves the water, but can’t swim. He seems to think you must open your mouth when hitting the water! As I’ve got an indoor 5’ pool now, I’ve dreaded him getting in. I’ve tried other floating assistance tools & none have worked well. Many tip him over into the water, others don’t float much, and many broke easily. This one is a game changer though!! It’s cute & sturdy. He finds it comfortable & doesn’t complain about using it. Best of all? He actually floats to the surface quickly when jumping in, stays about water without tipping forward nor backwards, and has been able to doggy swim with it on to maneuver around the pool all by himself! I expected way less than what this has provided. The peace of mind I feel alone is worth the price tag. I’d recommend this to anyone & purchase again if I needed a new one. He is average height & weight for his age group. Fits a toddler just fine! Thanks to the company producing these amazing devices!!!

The cuffs keeps the jacket from bunching around the neck which makes movement much easier for child .

This is great for extra safety for my grandson around our pool

These are amazing. Help my kiddo feel safe and confident swimming! We now have 3 for each house!

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we haven't been able to start our 2 year old daughter for swim classes as we had initially intended to. This caused her to have fears of the water and she refused to be "let go" if she was in the water. We had planned a day at the water theme park and part of me worried that she would be too afraid to try the rides or even be in the kiddy pool due to this fear. But once she had her Paddle Pals on - she was a completely different child. Her confidence in the water came back and she was an extremely happy camper with the rides. She even refused to leave the place! We even had other parents come and ask us what we were using for her.

Best floatie for swimming I’ve tried yet.
