    Stearns Child Classic Series Vest

    • Love the underneath strap
    • What I particularly like about this vest is the adjustable crotch strap that keeps the child from falling out the bottom if the vest is being worn too loosely and the child puts his/her arms straight up and possibly slips out.
    • Great color and straps are easy to adjust.
    • ) Excellent fit, with adjustable straps allowing accommodation for the weight and size differential.3) The "undercarriage" strap ensures the life vest doesn't ride up around the child's neck and head.4
    • The strap on the bottom is important, however I wish it included a wider strap as it will tend to "ride up", especially for girls.
    • It fit my kids good, though the strap that goes between the legs left some skin rash because it hooks at an angle, so I had to unhook it and tuck it in under the other straps.
    • Adjustable straps.
    • A nice to have would be an open strap sewn on the back like a handle (like they make for dog life vests, but not an actual handle and that lies flat), which allows an adult to easily hold onto a squirmy child who wants to get as far over the edge of a speeding boat as possible
    • The only negative I have so far is that the straps around her belly aren't as adjustable as I would prefer, however they still fit her well
    • It does fit snug but the straps are adjustable
    • The strap on the bottom connecting up to the front was also perfect length and did not need any adjusting
    • Well...it was the right decision as this vest fits perfect with some room to grow thanks to the adjustable straps
    • There is an adjustable strap that goes between the legs to keep it from hiking up, but not much adjusting for girth.
    • I thought the top strap was a little short, and wonder if it will fit her comfortably at 50 pounds.
    • A nice to have would be an open strap sewn on the back like a handle (like they make for dog life vests, but not an actual handle and that lies flat), which allows an adult to easily hold onto a squirmy child who wants to get as far over the edge of a speeding boat as possible
    • I like having 3 buckels instead of just 2 that I've seen on some other vests and I LOVE the strap under the legs too to keep it from riding up.
    • Worked great loved having a strap so he would not slip out!
    • It is extremely buoyant and the strap that goes between the legs doesnt seem to bother him at all.
    • Purchased for my 3year old, neckline seems to be a little tight on him, too strap is all the way loose and he complaints it’s too tight
    • It was way to small and the straps are not adjustable.
    • Our kids use them and we feel safe strapping in a friend for a boat ride and tubing.
    • I really like the extra strap that went from the back, between the legs, and snapped in front.
    • I like the strap between the legs and the
    • It's too tight & is as loose as it can be.
