My son used one all last year at the age of 2. I love how it keeps his head out of the water but doesn't make him float on his back, like most life jackets. He is also able to swim about with no help when wearing it. He can move his arms around too! I only wish I would have had one for my older kids.

I had a different brand before that my 2yr grew out of the weight advised for it. This one is nice because it goes to 50lbs her other only did around 32lbs. Her cousin loved it also. Its safe and keeps the childs head upright well. Also its pretty cute and handy and excites the kids.. I get asked where I got ours all the time now.
