Fit a 1 1/2 year old!

I was concerned it may not fit my 1 1/2 year old niece - but it fit her great! The handle is also great in case of an emergency.

Good infant vest.

Our 4 month old son (16 lbs) wore this life vest for the last week on a family vacation. I doubt any infant enjoys wearing any life vest, our son eventually resigned to the fact that if we were in the boat, the vest was necessary. The highest buckle (below the chin) was a little constricting, but necessary to hold a babys face upright if ever int he water. We really liked the simplicity of this vest. Plastic buckles over zippers that we saw on other vests w/ similar weight ranges. We also liked that the vest will work up to 50 lbs. Most of the neoprene vests that we saw only work up to 30 lbs. The only benefit of another style vest for an older, more active (ambulatory) child would be to have a vest w/ a v-neck cut.

kid-friendly life jacket

i thought this life vest was a good deal for the money. my 2-year old loved wearing it and it was easy to adjust to fit her just right.

Not sure on weight limit

Life jacket is great and seems to fit okay, and we were only using it for emergencies anyway. So when we actually tried to float our 14 month old son in our pool, it seemed like he was floating REALLY low, and I dont know if it would keep him appropriately afloat for any long period of time.

Infant-child life vest....love it!

This is precious. My kids are boaters. Wakeboard every weekend. Bought this as a gift when they first learned they were having a baby. Though I doubt they will take their baby out in the boat out this year, nice to have this on hand. Its very well made and looks very durable. Like that it has the "heads up" feature. Kind of doubt that it would fit a child smaller than 20 lbs, but maybe.

We use this life jacket at the beach. we got it to go to Hawaii so we could all enjoy the water together and it works great. My son is comfortable in it and has no problem wearing it on the beach and in the water. He can come out in the deeper water with us and we dont have to worry about holding him and up and keeping ourself afloat too. Use it and be safe.
