nice jacket, my son says its comfortable
my baby weighs 24 lbs and will not wear this vest. It is much thicker and then it looks in the photo and is very bulky. She panics as if it is strangling her. It is definaly to tight around her neck. It makes her head and arms totally imobile when she put it on.
good value and seems true to size
I have been searching for a life jacket that doesn't force my child's head forward all year. I've bought 8 different life jackets, swim outfits etc and this product still left me lacking what I am searching for. I bought two of these. One of the infant/toddler jackets that keeps the child floating on their back for my one year old. She didn't like it because it was getting water on the back of her head and in her ears. I bought the next size up for my 3 year old and it was forcing his head forward. I just can't seem to find something that will keep the kids in an upright position and completely buoyant. I thought having a coast guard approved jacket would make a difference but it didn't. I think this jacket is a good choice for boating but not a good choice to try to have your child swim in a pool without you touching him or her constantly.
My grandson is 20 months old, he was too old for this product, is would be awesome for a younger child but he didn't like the fact that it forces your head back. I know that it is a safety feature but it is very restrictive for his age. He needed just a jacket - not the additional neck support.
