Stohlquist Infant Life Jacket, US Coast Guard Approved, Type II Life Vest (20-30 lbs) for Babies and Toddlers, Support Collar with Grab Handle, PFD for Pools, Lakes and Boating

Thought that taking the toddler on the boat was going to be a lost cause because of how much he hated a previous bulkier life jacket. This one saved us and he is now a boat boy! Zipper on the front like a jacket plus the non bulky back so he can lean back and sit comfortably seem to be the game changers. He is just on the cusp of the weight limit (27ish lbs) and still fits like a glove. He honestly doesn't even seem to notice he is wearing it. Worth every penny to have him enjoy boating!

We like this a lot. We waited until they had the pink one. I’m not a fan of red and some other colors in general are not great for water safety. We wanted it for a cruise and general boating safety. This is the best! It is lightweight, durable, has a great color and very satisfied. Great brand name for safety too!

I purchased a 30-60 vest for my 1.5 year old who was 28 lbs. It was far too large and he hated it. I then purchased the 10-30 vest and it fits him perfectly and he loves it. I think he thinks its armor. Put it on him at home and he walked around in it for hours and didn't want to take it off, which is exactly the fit you need if they're going to be comfortable on the boat. I had the Sterns brand infant vest for my first two babies and they hated it (the fit is horrible around the neck). Wish I'd have found this one back then. Days on the water are much more enjoyable with a happy (and safe!) baby. Good to use it in a pool or somewhere you can practice with them so they're also comfortable floating. FYI a poor fit (too large) can flip your kid the wrong way (face down) so check it out before you trust their lives with it.

This is a great product. Our 1 year old likes using it, it’s light weight and forces her to float on her back if she falls over. It floats well so it’s pretty safe and performed well. The color is great and visible and it seems pretty comfortable for a 1 year old. Being coast guard approved is a great bonus since some pools (like hotels and water parks) won’t let you use floaters with out the approval

After doing tons of research and asking around I ordered several life jackets for my 6 month old to wear on a boat. This one was by far the more comfortable for her as it didn't ride up on her cheeks as much as the others did while still providing the required flotation rating. In fact, she falls asleep in it every single time we go out because the head flotation part acts like a pillow. I would recommend sitting them on your leg to make wearing the jacket more comfortable if they aren't laying down but since we put it on her every time she doesn't fuss in it. As an added bonus, we love the color selections.

True to size First time wearing and was very comfortable and could easily move around even with people holding him

I appreciate that there was a hefty amount of safety information provided with the vest. It was very self explanatory to put on and adjust on my child. He is obsessed with it. Both in and out of the water he always wants me to put it on him. He eats in it, naps in it, swims in it, etc. He would live in it for life if I would let him. It is nice to have something that the baby needs that he also wants so we arent wrestling over getting him to be comfortable with being safe. Everyone's kids are different, but on the very first time ever in a pool he felt safe and secure enough to relax and float and giggle the whole time while wearing this. It fits just right and flips him on his back when he is relaxed, bringing me extra comfort in case he ever goes unconcious. I highly recommend if you are using in a pool/calm waters like we are. We have not tried it for boating activities yet though.

Let me start by saying this is one of the best infant/toddler life jackets (PFD) on the market. There are many uneducated reviewers that don’t understand the true purpose of a PFD and that is to keep someone afloat for rescue/recovery. This does exactly what is is designed to do, and does it very well. This jacket is a Type II therefore it will NOT always return the individual to the face up position, however in calm waters it MAY do so. PFDs are NOT DESIGNED TO SWIN IN! Although many people do swim in them it is not it’s intended purpose, therefore you should always have a infant/toddler under DIRECT supervision while using this device. This is a good quality PFD and performs as expected!

推奨商品というだけあって、いざという時に仰向けに体位をかえる浮力になっていて、呼吸を確保できる浮き輪で大変よい。 子どももこれを使用する事で呼吸の確保の仕方を習得できた。
