Bought it for my 1 year old, looks very good, light weight and perfect but I think my child was of small age compared to this, older children may enjoy more than infants
Amazing product, gave me great piece of mind on holiday so I did not have to worry about my child who isn’t a strong swimmer. I was concerned since my child is 8 however this was perfect in the large size and held her up perfectly.
We have just come back from holiday where we tried this in a pool, our som loved it, it helped him stay afloat, he was really confident in water. Accurate sizing.
My son (8) isn’t a strong swimmer & this was a must-have on a recent holiday abroad. He was able to go down most of the slides at the water park & didn’t feel panicked when being plunged into deep water as this vest kept him afloat. We were with older children & he wanted to follow them into deep pools – this wasn’t a problem at all thanks to this vest & it saved my anxiety immensely as I was able to relax by the poolside & not watch him like a hawk the whole time. It’s a bit chunky to fit into the suitcase, but really was fantastic & it will be well-used in times ahead! Highly recommend!
Our grandson is 8 years old and this fit perfectly. He was a bit worried in water and this gave him so much confidence very pleased with it. Best thing we done buying this
I bought two of these swim vests two years ago they have been so good I’ve just bought another one as my oldest grandson has out grown his hi younger brother gets his one
They are safe and sturdy the strap going underneath ensures the vest is secure I wouldn’t get another make
This was fantastic for my neurodiverse 9year old. It kept her above the water without restricting her movement at all. She loves it and feels confident and safe in the water because of it. I feel comfortable to let her swim freely with the vest on.
I would highly recommend and in my opinion it’s a better piece of kit than arm bands or other floats available
This vest has been amazing. My 4 year old daughter has been able to swim by herself with this vest in the deepest water which has given her so much confidence. It has felt very safe and secure with daily use. Can’t fault it.
It is a good swim aid but it does chafe a little especially around boys bits and under the arms. It was uncomfortable. It fit well not too loose not tight. We have had similar issues with rubbing under the arms first one we had with the buckle under also.
Well made and nice colours. Comes with a light weight packing bag. It does take a long time to dry though but I’m sure this is just standard of a material float. Floats are removable so great as your toddler grows and gains more water confidence. You still need to be right there with your toddler in the water especially if they haven’t got the strength to kick themselves upright. I chose this product particularly because it had the additional strap between the legs.
My son is 20 months old (probably about 16kg) and has always been a little bigger than other toddlers. He was in between the small and medium. Reading other reviews I decided to to size up so that he can use it for the rest of this year and possibly into next. Only worn once so far but he loved wearing it. It gave him more and more confidence as he wore it for longer. He was holding my hand and jumping off the edge of the pool and also allowed me to lift him up out of the water and drop him back in with a splash. He absolutely loved it. I ended up keeping this one over another I purchased purely because it had the strap at the bottom. This stopped the jacket riding up. My son isn’t strong or stable enough to be in the water on his own even with this on as this would just make him go face down into the water. I had to hold him at all times. Quality seems good, hopefully will last and allow me to use it for my next child too.
Appears to fit well tried on in the dry but am just waiting to take my daughter to s pool to try out in the wet.
Looks and feels like a quality product…..
My 3 year old had never been in a pool because of covid. With this vest he grew confident in water fast with more independence to relax and learn. However child should not be left on his own at any point.
I am so glad I purchased this for our holiday. My 8 year old son is only just learning to swim and struggles with confidence in the water. This life jacket gave him so much confidence. He was in the water with his siblings, jumping in and going down the slides. He gained so much confidence that he took it off and was able to tread water having been doing so with the jacket. Would 100% recommend this product. The only negative was he complained of his skin under his armpit being sore and was red and sore to touch which I expect was from the jacket constantly rubbing once it had swelled. He could have benefited from a bigger size but I struggled to find one however it did fit fine.
I was unsure of the sizing due to various conflicting reviews. I needed one for my nearly 3 year old and one for my 5 year old.
I ordered a M which fits my 3 year old perfectly.
I like that the bouncy can be removed if needed and the design is great.
We are yet to try in the pool / beach but I think it will suit us really well
My 6-year-old daughter did not find it comfortable but we persevered only for it to start to rip after the 3rd use. It’s ripping where the buckle connects to the front. Purchased it on the 18th Feb so it’s not eligible for return.
UPDATE: contacted the seller who agreed to refund us for the vest with no argument. Good customer service. perhaps we were unlucky and got a bad vest.
Vest was delivered on time.
Overall it is a good swim vest I bought the largest size for my grandson who is six and it’s fits with room to grow. I’m not sure it would fit a nine year old but hopefully he won’t need it by then.
I would have given five stars but the padded part of the strap that goes underneath would slip forward, maybe I could have had it tightened but i didn’t want it to be uncomfortable.
So overall I happy with the purchase and it does the job
I bought this product for my 2 year old granddaughter. She is a non swimmer and we have an In ground swimming pool. I didn’t want to get a full all out life jacket for her, I wanted her to be able to play freely in the garden unhindered this product did that while giving me peace of mind. A full on life jacket is impractical due to ristricting a child’s movement. This product is a swim jacket not a life jacket. It won’t turn your child on his or her back and keep them floating until aide comes, you still need to be on alert. For me it was about giving me peace of mind while she played in the garden and if she did happen to fall in time enough to run and retrieve her with out her sinking to the bottom. When a child is in the water the jacket allows the child to stay afloat and allows them to toss and turn so they can learn to swim which is exactly what it is made for.
I purchased one of these for my eldest son and his confidence soared the very first time he ever wore it! I tried it on his little brother today (who normally hates swimming and hangs on to me or his father the whole time) and it was a great success, we now have a little boy who is treading water by himself, reaching out, kicking off and blowing bubbles happily! All in half an hour! These vests are, as they say, not life vests and they do not provide full floatation – which is ideal – I have found that with too much buoyancy my children become complacent and reliant on aids, like armbands or the noodle, hanging on to it for dear life and never focusing on the actual enjoyment of swimming. However, these vests offer just enough buoyancy for them to make only a small effort to swim in order to stay above water and as you remove the floats, it takes a little more, and a little more. They get used to maintaining themselves in the water without becoming dependent on floatation devices. They really are a marvel! They are comfortable, fit well and don’t rub. I have told everyone about them and I will continue to! Thanks Limmy’s and Amazon for stocking them!!
