Reviews around life (4.41 of 5)

  • This was a perfect life vest for my tall/slim 7 year old son who has autism
  • Worst life jacket ever.
  • This is fine for a cheap life vest.
  • Otherwise, a quality made perfectly decent life jacket.

Reviews around value (4.40 of 5)

  • we have the buckles as loose as they will go.
  • Although i have not yet thrown Junior overboard to test actual flotation, this is a decently constructed comfortable vest that represents good value for price.
  • Good quality, good value, however by my estimate not for over 80 pounds for a comfortable fit.
  • Really disappointing as it is otherwise a nice vest.
  • I think it's a good value for the price, but if you are looking for comfort, you might need to pay a little more.

Reviews around vest (4.28 of 5)

  • SC requires that children while on a boat be wearing a Coast Guard approved, weight appropriate vest, while on board
  • great extra Youth vest for taking out on the lake and in the boat.
  • boy who could not begin to buckle the vest at its most extended.
  • Luckily the company we rented the boat from provided us with good quality vests.
  • I have purchased the oversize adult vests like this and they have work very well, and I have two small grand-children in the target range, so I purchased two of these youth sizes.

Reviews around jacket (4.12 of 5)

  • It’s one of the cheap jackets, but it serves its purpose
  • It also seems to be a very nice life jacket and my daughter is excited to use it on the river.
  • Seems to be a decent quality jacket, but like others have suggested it does appear to run small
  • So I lost over 4.00 a life jacket, so I am thinking about sending them back.
  • We like this life jacket, but I will say that it is a bit smaller than expected

Reviews around child (3.81 of 5)

  • Strangely, the smaller child complained more about a tight fit, perhaps because the material has to be compressed much more to snug it down to his size and might be bunching up.
  • Quality is great, but, my very lean and tall 7 year old child was being squeezed tightly in this jackets' most extended settings, especially the upper buckle
  • but I would buy a larger size if your child isn't super skinny.
  • I doubt it could even be buckled onto a child greater than 75 pounds
  • Keeps my child safe, and head above the water, without leaning her forward.

  • Learn from my mistake and listen when I say this sucker is a tight fit!
  • Great fit and my daughter doesnt complain when she wears it.

Reviews around strap (3.14 of 5)

  • It does ride up after hes been in the water a while which gets irritating as the top strap comes to his
  • Would be helpful to perhaps have a comfortable crotch strap too
  • The top strap only goes across the chest and the two bottom straps go all the way around the body, which is common.
  • However the top strap is not long enough and is already adjusted as far as it can go
  • Was really small and he said the top strap was really choking him.

  • 65 pounds weight limit says 90 and it fits very small on my son so size is not as accurate I kept it just for this

  • Our son used the child life vest until he out grew the weight limit.
  • Even though my grandkids were well within the weight limit, the vest seemed to be too small and tight
  • My son is at the very low side of the weight limits for this vest

Reviews around bite (1.00 of 5)

  • on longer usage it can be a bit bulky and uncomfortable for the child, but that's a small 'price' to pay for the safety.
  • but I'm a bit skeptical for it fitting up to 90 lbs
