Stearns Kids 2-in-1 Life Jacket

The U.S. Coast Guard-Approved Puddle Jumper Kids 2-In-1 Life Jacket And Rash Guard can be used instead of a Type III Personal Flotation Device to help keep children (33 to 55 pounds) safe while they play in or on the water. It is also certified for use on a boat. This life vest features a built-in rash guard that offers UPF 50+ sun protection, blocking 93% of UVA and UVB rays both in and out of the water.

A zipper and adjustable buckle ensure a secure fit. For added safety, these fasteners are placed in the back so kids can't remove the vest without assistance. Unlike some PFDs, this one is made from woven polyester, resulting in a softer fabric and less chafing. It also features a fun design in front so kids won't rush to take it off.

Whether they're at the pool, lake, or beach, children wearing this 2-in-1 life jacket and rash guard can move and swim freely thanks to its comfortable, non-restricting design, which allows for a full 360-degree range of motion.

FAQs

Q: Will this fit an 8 year old about 50 lbs?
A: No. My 6-year-old is 40 pounds and I could not zip it on him. (But it fits his 30-pound 4-year-old brother well!)

Q: Does this work like a life vest that keeps you floating?
A: Yes, and it is Coast Guard approved for boating use.

Q: Can my child use this to float?
A: I would not provide support, but your child would need some swimming skills.

Q: What age is this appropriate for? Looking for something for a 6-month-old.
A: This is too big for a 6-month-old. Something smaller would be more suitable. I bought this for a 2-year-old, and it fits.
