    • A Perfect Buoyancy Assist for Kids!
Color: Shark Pattern Name: Life Jacket
My wife recently purchased two of these Streams Puddle Jumpers for our children, ages 2 and 4, right before a planned family vacation. We used these puddle jumpers on our children basically every day on vacation so I feel confident in my rating and review. First things first, if you're looking for a floatation device that will 100% keep your child safe in water then this is not the best choice for you and I'd advise you to buy another product. This product is designed to assist children who are already somewhat competent in water to float. This product is not meant to replace water confidence (i.e. a child that has received swim lessons) and you most certainly do not want to leave a child unattended in any way while they're in the water. Also, this product is not designed to hold a child's head out of the water on its own. Both of my children receive swim lessons and my wife and I were merely looking for a swim aid that would allow them to enjoy the pool (at our resort) for longer periods of time. In that use, this product is absolutely perfect! This puddle jumper is designed for kids between 30-50lbs. My youngest comes in just barely over 30lbs and my oldest about 42lbs and the puddle jumpers worked well for both of them. The jumpers go on easily and simply slip onto the arms and are secured in the back with a locking plastic clip. A nylon strap keeps the puddle jumpers snug and can be easily adjusted for different sized children. My wife and I both found the puddle jumpers extremely easy to use and to get on/off the kids. My kids didn't seem to mind at all having these on and for novice swimmers it gave them a bit of a buoyancy and confidence boost. Both my kids were zipping around the pool (with plenty of adult supervision) and having a great time. This is definitely a product I recommend. However, keep in mind your child's water familiarity and abilities before ordering. ... show more

    • Great for young swimmers to build confidence and give parents peace of mind
Color: Shark Pattern Name: Life Jacket
This was a peace of mind purchase for our 2-year old son for trips to the neighborhood pool. While we are always with him, it helped knowing he had a flotation device as well. We have used it consistently for the past year or so and I can honestly recommend this product as a great swimming aide. The single best thing about this vest is that it allows a freedom of movement to promote the range of motion needed to learn how to swim. My son quickly learned and I think the confidence of the vest really helped in that aspect. It is also nice that the vest is not cartoon-ishly large on him. It is sleek and fits snuggly with a single rear buckle. It dries out quickly so it won't leave a puddle in your car. It is also durable, as we really haven't done anything but wear it and throw it in the pool bag when we are done. With all of that said, I have noticed that this is not the same as a life vest, it wont keep him bobbing like a cork in the water. Instead it is more like a boost to keep him upright and above water while he actively kicks and treads water. It will definitely help bounce him up out of the water when he jumps in, but I don't think it is comparable to a full life vest that you would use on a lake. Great for the pool though! ... show more

    • My favorites for lake fun
I’m an old worrying grandma and I use these to help my grandkids overcome fear of the water and to learn to swim. It doesn’t take long and I get some extra reassurance once they can swim, but want to jump in, that these help them come back up quickly. These make everyone have more fun.

    • Awesome
Color: Crab Pattern Name: Life Jacket
My 4 yo (40lb) and 15 mo (28lb) both have Puddle Jumpers. All other vests and floats just reduce the weight, but provide no control for positioning -- not for the kids, not for you trying to hold them in non-drowning/swimming position. All other floats were a struggle of one kind or another. I would be exhausted just trying to keep my 15mo from drowning, even though he was wearing a life-preserver. For my 4yo, she could kind of deal with the difficulties of most floaties/preservers, but swimming was more tiring and stressful than fun -- she'd ditch swimming and go to the splash pad area after just five or ten minutes. Now, she's finally comfortable and can move around without help or periodically dunking herself as she doggy paddles -- she'll swim half an hour before wanting to go splash around. Within minutes of first having the Puddle Jumper on, my 15mo figured out how to keep his head up out of the water and from that point he was shockingly able to be semi-independent... in a floating around and awkwardly kicking sort of way. He was insanely happy to not have me holding him all the time and, frankly, so was I. Of course, for very young kids, you have to still be there and usually have a hand on them most of the time for overall safety and move them around, but the burden of it is gone. The Puddle Jumper almost keeps them in the right position to paddle around and holds up their weight effortlessly. Material and construction seem durable, buckle is firm but pretty easily adjusted (only one and in the back), and it doesn't shift around (up, down, or to the sides) like so many other vest floaties do . Downsides: The sleeves might be tight for some kids -- dry sleeves and sunblock or any oil/lotion applied immediately before sliding on helps (wet sleeves are really difficult, so don't take it off after getting wet unless you're pretty sure about it staying off). Also, they kind of hold water for a while... Like a half cup or somewhat more. Takes them about 20 minutes to mostly drain; they'll still be damp or harbor a small pocket of water still. So, make sure you have time to drain or a watertight bag to put them in for transport. Also, the only swimming that can be taught are pretty much just doggy paddle and floating on one's back, but most kids will be too young to do anything else anyway. ... show more
