Classic style puddle jumper great for 21mo old
This worked great for my 21 month old even though he’s under the recommended minimum weight. We’ve tried 2 other puddle jumpers from different brands that had multiple buckles in back and “looked” more secure but they didn’t work nearly as well because he sunk a lot lower in the water and kept getting water in his mouth. With this style the floating part that goes around is lower on the torso and kept his head further above the water so he was much more comfortable and confident in the water.

Fits nice and looks comfy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is very comfy as far as I see. My kid is three years old around 30-35 pounds and it fits her perfectly. Very easy to lock. She also liked the shark on it and keeps singing, baby shark song. She loves swimming, regardless of the weather and she loved it as well as I am. it helps her to get confidence while swimming in the pool. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

Shark Puddle Jumper
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 3 year old loves his puddle jumper floaty. We wear it to the beach and he pretends to be a shark. It's super easy to get on and off. I like that the arm pieces are attached so there's no risk if them slipping off. Kid loves it. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

Easy to use floaty
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fits really well on my 4yo when we visit a friend's pool. They love floating and jumping in the water. It's really easy to get on, my favorite feature is the stitching on the buckle pull tab. It's T shaped so you can securely pull it when wet.

Nope
This is a terrible option for kids to learn how to swim. It creates false confidence and does not allow the child to use their arms correctly.

Great purchase!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for my son. He absolutely loves the picture of the shark on the front! It also keeps me reassured that he'll stay above water while we're swimming. This would be a great item to add to an Easter basket with that holiday coming up. We would definitely recommend!

Great for the pool
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids (2 and 4) both enjoy using puddle jumpers at the pool. I feel comfortable with them using them supervised and it helps while trying to keep up with two kids! These have a good fit and aren't too bulky either. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

Life Saving Float
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The puddle jumper is designed for kids that are 33 to 55 punds, so it fits a wide range of kids. The vest is easy to put on and take off, even when wet. The design is perfect for little girls with the pink and unicorn as well as hearts and rainbows. I'm happy with the way this keeps my child safe when we are swiming even if I am not right next to her. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.

Super cute design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own. The Unicorn Puddle Jumper design is super cute. I like that a bright pink was used so it stands out in the crowd. The buckle is easy to clip and unclip which makes it easy to get on and off a child. Very satisfied with the quality of the Puddle Jumper.

USCG approved and buoyant
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unicorn Puddle Jumper is what my kid would have chosen to wear when she was younger. I like that it is coast guard approved. It's only adjustable on the back belt clip, but that's all that needs adjusting to get it to stay on. It's a very buoyant float.

Good Buy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own. Good life jacket! Good price! I was surprised as to the ease of use. I thought it may cause a little discomfort and hamper movement but it didn't seem to at all. I felt relieved that it wasn't a fight to put on. Lightweight and quality construction. I really liked the clear instructions and safety information! US Coastguard approved!

Trusted Pool Safety for Little Swimmers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve always trusted Puddle Jumpers for pool safety. My oldest used one when he was a toddler, and it held up so well that my almost 4-year-old is now using the same one years later. That kind of durability really speaks to the quality. The fit feels secure, the material is sturdy, and it gives me peace of mind while my kids build confidence in the water. This review was collected as part of a promotion, and the opinions are my own.
