" ... I bought it for my son he is 2 years old its perfect he enjoys the pool now with his big sisters of course do not leave your baby alone you still have to hold him in the water because he's very small other then that my 4&6 year old daughters do perfectly fine on there own with there puddle jumper on they are actually learning how to swim and they are not afraid of the water anymore. ... "
" ... It doesn't ride up like her swim vest so she has more freedom to move about in the water. ... She doesn't swim around on her own yet so I can't say how safe it would be for that. ... "
" ... She felt so cool that I didn't have to hold her in the pool the whole time. ... "
" ... She loves swimming around the pool in it! ... "
" ... now our son can "swim by himself" which he loves to do! ... "
" ... They now put these on and are able to swim and go to the deep end even. ... So definitely a great learning and stepping tool to learn how to swim. ... "
" ... These are the only floaties that ever gave me peace of mind when the kids were swimming. ... "
" ... Although it wasn’t as tight as I would have liked, my LO was able to splash and jump into the water and have lots of fun (100% supervised) ... "

" ... Excellent quality and super comfortable, my kid just love it! ... "
" ... The babies took some time getting used to them and learning how to stay upright, but they were able to master them with practice. ... "
" ... Good quality material, strap and fastener. ... "
" ... The arm floats eventually start slipping off her arms. ... "

" ... DAY 2-- OUR 2 YO GRANDSON PULLED HIS ARMS UP AND OUT AND THE WHOLE THING FELL DOWN AND OFF! ... "
" ... The stitching is sloppy, it's missing brand logo, and it's not Coast Guard approved. ... The padding in the arm sleeves is extremely loose. ... "
" ... These are knock-off versions and definitely not high quality. ... "
" ... The "floating" pieces in the arms and chest aren't as full, so overall it feels smaller and a bit more flimsy. ... It's a clicking clip like on a backpack, whereas a original Puddle Jumper has prongs that need to be lined up. ... "
" ... The second one came and the sleeve was ripped out. ... "
" ... The life jacket is flimsy, poorly constructed and lacks various labeling, including the Sterns logo. ... "
" ... I noticed that a lot of my stitching looked like it was coming unraveled and this product looked cheaply made. ... "
" ... I received a knock off puddle jumper in which is very poorly made and FALSE ADVERTISING!! ... "

" ... Beware of the seller. ... "
" ... NOT A STEARNS BRAND PRODUCT. ... "
" ... Some of the life jackets here are fake. ... Both items in the picture are supposedly the same product bought from the same listing. ... The fake one is NOT coast guard approved as stated in the listing. ... "
" ... I contacted the seller for returning with no response, however, I imagine it will cost more to ship back then to eat the cost. ... "
" ... I did not realize that I received a knockoff until 35 days after receipt, too late to return to Amazon. ... "
" ... I don't know if the counterfeit product is tested or safe. ... I'm very disappointed Amazon let this happen. ... "

" ... I finally feel safe with my daughter being around water ... "
" ... Perefect for the young to learn how to get use to the water. ... "
" ... Toddler used to be terrified of water. ... "
" ... Unlike the classic floaties, this keeps the kids face out of the water too! ... "
" ... Great for my 2 and 4 year olds who love the water. ... "
" ... Does it what it is supposed to do, holds the child out of the water. ... "
" ... This water safety product not only gives a parent a certain amount of assurance that their child will be safe from drowning in the water (still never leave your child alone even if he/she can swim) but its design allows for independent arm movement. ... "
" ... However, he is reasonably out of the water and likes it. ... "
