About this item

  • FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THE WATER - Made of soft foam for maximum comfort, this child personal floatation device comes with a convenient grab collar for easy retrieval. The head support collar offers the security for them to play and be happy in the water
  • BUCKLE UP - The single quick release front buckle provides added security and even has an adjustable crotch strap to fit any size. You'll notice the durability of this infant life vest from the box stitched buckle attachment that'll have you using this for years to come
  • FEEL THE MOVEMENT - Life vests can be irritating for children. That's why we've made sure to design this infant PFD with full arm mobility so you can enjoy watching them play and swim
  • SAFETY FIRST - Floating in a calm, “face-up” position is not something that comes naturally to children. Before going boating, teach your child how to float safely in a pool or shallow water where the child cannot touch bottom
  • BORN IN THE WATER - Stohlquist products are the result of a lifetime of hands-on paddling and entrepreneurial spirit of founder Jim Stohlquist. Each model we offer follows the lineage of 40+ years of product innovation and refinement to provide our customers with the best WaterWare available today

Customers like the fit of the personal flotation device. For example, they say it fits their son great and is comfortable in it. It adjusts down small enough and holds their head properly above the chest float. Some say it's perfect for smaller babies and is small enough in length to fit in a carry-on suitcase.

Baby never takes it off!
I appreciate that there was a hefty amount of safety information provided with the vest. It was very self explanatory to put on and adjust on my child. He is obsessed with it. Both in and out of the water he always wants me to put it on him. He eats in it, naps in it, swims in it, etc. He would live in it for life if I would let him. It is nice to have something that the baby needs that he also wants so we arent wrestling over getting him to be comfortable with being safe. Everyone's kids are different, but on the very first time ever in a pool he felt safe and secure enough to relax and float and giggle the whole time while wearing this. It fits just right and flips him on his back when he is relaxed, bringing me extra comfort in case he ever goes unconcious. I highly recommend if you are using in a pool/calm waters like we are. We have not tried it for boating activities yet though.
