puddle jumpers swim

These child life vests are intended for children weighing 33–55 lbs (15–25 kg).

They are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard and Transport Canada as a Performance Level 70 personal flotation device (PFD) for use in, on, or near the water.

The vests use smooth, comfortable polyester fabric with built-in foam pads for flotation; some listings also note plastic components on trim or closures.

Closures include pull-on and buckle styles. They feature kid-proof back buckles and an adjustable strap to create a snug fit and keep the vest properly positioned.

Sizing is based on child weight (listed as 33–55 lb / 15–25 kg). Some listings also reference youth jacket-style chest sizing, but the primary sizing metric is weight.

They feature fun, kid-focused graphics such as orange fish, sailboats, walrus, dolphin, turtle, T. rex, whale shark, and hammerhead shark.

Each listing shows a single life vest as the package quantity (1 life vest).

Buckles are designed to snap at the back—out of a child’s reach—and are used with an adjustable strap to keep the vest snug and properly positioned.
