buckles too difficult to open
By Avid Swimmer from Philadelphia, PA on 8/4/2020
Fit: NA
I know my heading sounds pathetic, but I purchased this for my older mother, who was widowed a few years ago and hasn't used her pool since; I believe that she is worried about slipping with nobody there to help her. We agreed that this vest would be a good product for her, but she cannot get the plastic clasps open, they are just too stiff. So even if I undo it for her, and closing them is easy (you just push the one piece into the other), when she's alone, she won't be able to get it off! I realize that you want the vest not to burst open if, e.g. you are wearing it for water skiing and want it to withstand the impact of falling in the water, but this is really too stiff. Very disappointed, it seems like a good product otherwise (ps, yes, I also bought her water shoes which we've given a 5-star rating to).

Great quality
By Sacha from Olympia, WA on 4/8/2020
Fit: TRUE
Soft, the buckles are on the side, form fitting and stylish. Plan on wearing it paddle boarding in the ocean. Plenty of range of motion with arms. Wife loves it.

Very nice jacket but...
By Sue from Maui on 12/29/2019
Fit: TOOSMALL
This jacket is very nice with details like a flap to cover the zipper, a ring to hang it up and tabs to pull it down should it start to ride up. The colour and style are also great. The sizing online is off however, so if you are considering purchasing one, be aware that no accurate size chart is available on the website. I ordered a women’s small after looking at the chart and confirming with the live chat that it is correct for a 37” chest. Nope. It arrived with a big tag clearly showing that women’s small is for a 32-34”chest. Not happy to pay shipping to Hawaii then have another shipping deduction if I return it.

Nice product and good value
By Denny from Clyde, North Carolina on 6/2/2018
Fit: TRUE
I purchased 4 of these for a recent trip to Hawaii. We like having our own equipment...particularly anything the operators are suppose to sanitize! My daughter and son-in-law (age 26) don’t really like wearing them but lots of snorkel and kayak operators require vests so I purchased one for each of us. My son -in -law is a big guy (6’3” and about 280 lbs) so when they arrived I bought some matching webbing at JoAnn Fabrics and sewed on 18” extensions to his straps. We all tried them on to get them fitted before our first snorkel and trimmed the excess off our straps. My husband is 180 and about 5’8” and his straps had to be trimmed. When it was time to go in, we all put them on and were ready to go. They all inflated and deflated well. We only use them a few times a year so these are perfect for us. Easy to pack and we now have all of our own gear. I also purchased the floating swim fins since the price was so reasonable. I’ll also do a review on them. Overall, very pleased with the purchase and the few minutes it took me to do the extensions was worth the effort for about $1.50 more.

Vest is good, but not the color shown.
By LT130TH from TX on 2/5/2018
Fit: TRUE
Ordered the powder-pink & white vest pictured on the website, but the vest received is the dark pink & purple version. Customer service tried to help by checking with the warehouse & shipping a second one, however, the second vest I received was the same as the first. Aside from not getting the color I ordered, the vest is the same & will still do the job.

Great product
By Cruising Nana from Fort Washington, MD on 10/3/2016
These puddle jumpers were purchased for a pair of small 3 yr olds. Although we had to pull the attachment straps as tight as possible, they still fit great and the girls were extremely comfortable in them. They worked exactly as advertised. I would recommend this for anyone that has small children who can't swim yet or are learning.

Such a great option for children's lifejackets!
By What a fabulous invention for kids! from Lake of the Ozarks, MO on 8/15/2016
Worked great to keep my 15 month old grandson above water while jumping off our lake swim dock into his Mom's arms. He really disliked wearing a life jacket but had no complaints with this Puddle Jumper.

My 6 year old loves it AND my 2 year old too!
By Wvmom from Morgantown, WV on 7/5/2016
My 6yr old is 48inches tall and weighs 46lbs; this holds her very well and she loves it.
My 2yr old weighs 31lbs and it fits her very well (although I'm not brave enough yet to let her go completely free of my hands) but I do have a a lot of confidence in this life jacket.

Wonderful!
By Retail Store from Ohio on 7/6/2015
I actually manage 3 retail stores and all of which sell Swimline merchandise. At this point in the year its hard for me to order 1 of 2 of an item so I found and ordered these. They came quick and in new, packaged for retail condition! If need be, I would definitely order these again. Great business transaction!

Best invention ever!!!
By Angel's momma from Brooklyn, NY on 8/6/2014
We purchased this for our 6 year old son. He was determined to learn how to swim on our summer vacation. This device not only kept him buoyant but built his confidence while learning to doggie paddle. By the end of the week, we couldn't get him out of the pool!

Love it!! Perfect for our two-year old
By jenny from west virginia on 7/18/2014
This keeps our little guy's head out of the water far better than the vest-style PFD we were using. He can easily get around in it, likes wearing it, and we feel he's very safe.
We have used it for swimming and on a stand-up paddleboard (off which he fell into the water once. he went under but came up quickly and his face was out of the water plenty enough to keep him safe).

Love it
By Lauren''s Mom from San Marcos, CA on 7/10/2014
What I like: 1. It is easy for an adult to put on and take off. 2. It keeps her afloat. 3. I don't have worry about it fitting her body length, like the floatie swimsuits.

Awesome product!
By Barbara Pucci from Southington, CT on 5/31/2014
I purchased this to use as a training tool to teach my 2 year old Grandson to swim.
I brought him into the pool using this and it worked great. It holds him upright and gives him the security to become active in the water. I would recommend this to anyone.

Puddle Jumper okay but fit is important
By Karen from Colorado on 5/2/2014
I purchased this for my grandson and after it arrived, my son needed to order the other life jacket since this did not fit my grandson very well. He is around 25 pounds so be certain of the size of the child to ensure a good fit and that they cannot get out of the jacket.

Amazing
By natalie V. from New York NY on 8/28/2013
This was the best purchase!!! just took my 3 year old on vacation put it on every time we went to the pool or sea and she loved it -easy to put on - she can not take it off herself as it buckels in the back-she is at the age we everything is "I can do it" but even though she has taken swimming lessons can not swim by herself this gave her the freedom to zip around with out be held and since it is an official life vest gave me peace of mind as well -not that I was not with her at all times but i could let her go. I highly recommend this product!!

Saves Kids Lives
By Very Greatful Grandmother from New Albany IN on 7/13/2013
I bought one of these this year for my 4 yr old granddaughter. She loves using it because it gives her freedom. But the best thing about this floaty is that it saved her life yesterday when she had a seizure and it kept her above the water until we could get to her and get her out of the pool.I will always have one of these for every grandchild from now on.

Love it!
By Deana from Battle Creek, MI on 2/21/2013
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.

Kids love em
By theresa f. from ND on 12/31/2012
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.

Great for my 2 year old!
By Caligal5678 from San Clemente on 9/23/2011
Fit: NA
My oldest, 5 and 4, are already water safe so I needed something for my 2 year old so he could freely move about in the water. For now until he gets the hang of using it, we also put floaties on his arms so he floats upright and keeps his head out of water. But it's not too bulky that he can't get in and out and move around comfortably by himself. We have one more kid on the way and I'm so glad we invested in this to use again. You can never be too safe with kids and water! This product puts my mind at a little more ease as far as safety is concerned.
