We just used the puddle jumper in the pool today for the first time and he swam all over the pool by himself.  Last year we could hardly get him in the pool with a regular life jacket on.  He loved it!

what makes this even more wonderful, is that they can be used at all water parks because it is USGC approved ! ! ! so no more having to use jackets that the kids hate and a zillion other kids have used ! and they are so affordable as well !

My 2 year old daughter was constantly struggling to get away from me in the pool so she could swim on her own. With the help of Puddle Jumpers she finally can! I love that she has so much confidence in the water now- she even has learned how to float on her back while wearing this. I am thrilled with the purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone who has a young, headstrong child that loves the water, but doesn''t like being held.
