I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

How is this different from the body glove paddle pals motion hologram vest? Same exact product on almost every thing except the motion hologram has a hologram decal/design on the front.

Why does this thrust the child's face into the water and not hold an almost 2 1/2 yr old weighing 28 lbs up ? My grandson is just now gaining control of his neck at a year in the pool, learning to keep his face out. I wish I didn't have to hold onto him to keep him afloat, but it is what it is.

Anyone used this for a first-time swimmer closer to 50 lbs? Any problems with keeping them afloat and head up out of the water? No problem at all. My grandson used his at that weight and it kept him afloat. I have purchased these for all of my grandchildren, even though they are always supervised, these jackets give them some freedom and independence in the water.

Will this hold up a toddler that doesn't know how to balance himself in the water yet? Puddle jumpers and regular life jackets do not balance him yet. It works great for our 3yr old. He stays upright and mobile. It's a great learning tool for balance and position in the water.

Things we like

  • Super comfy
  • Excellent protection mechanisms
  • Good fit for kids 30-50 pounds
