ONeill Wetsuits Child Reactor USCG Life Vest

We used this for our 4 year old when we went swimming in a lake. The depth was 25 ft and his vest was absolutely amazing!!! I felt that he was very safe in this vest. He even jumped off the side of the boat and slid down a slide nonstop for days and only developed a slight rash behind his ears where the vest was rubbing (my daughter had a different material vest-cheaper- and it rubbed her raw doing the same activity). The material is high quality and totally worth the extra money for comfort and piece of mind.

Its a little big, but he enjoys this much more than the ones with the cuffs and it doesnt restrict his head movement. The stitching is high quality and the handle at the top makes it great to fish him out of the water if needed. The added pad for the strap that goes between the legs helps too.

The child vest comes with an elongated collar-strap for easy grabbing along side the boat. It also boasts a strap for between the legs to ensure the child does not slip out. All more than relevant seeing as to how you are buying a vest for safety purposes!

These fit my 3 year old son and my 5 year old daughter, they are about the same size. The thickness is pretty good, much better than the cheaper ones at local stores. We wanted something the kids can cast and fish with. I would prefer something a little thinner but they are one of the best options i could find. They are a bit dense too, which obviously comes with a little vest but be advised. The grab handle on the back is a nice feature if they go overboard.

I bought this for my 2 year old grandson. He is 30lbs. This vest fits him perfectly. It is very comfortable material and he didnt mind having it on at all. Recommend for boating or swimming pool.

thanks

Perfect for my 2 year old! He didnt.complain once and it made Mom feel better about being on a boat.

Little man was so excited to put it on he tried to go to bed wearing it! Don’t know if it was the color the comfort or what but he was thrilled to put it on. Last one we had to coerce him into wearing it.

the zipper is exceptionally difficult to do. As a matter of fact, I have not been able to zip it yet. Looking for some plastic zipper lube

Looks good and well made. Description is misleading - life jacket descriptions on Amazon would be so much better if they would simply publish the weight of person for which the jacket is certified.
