Good quality, works but could be slightly better. September 6, 2010
Toclmi (CT United States)
The vest looks and works great, we used it all summer. My only quip so far is that it isn't quite buoyant enough for beginning swimmers. I know it's not designed as a life saving device but be prepared for you child to inhale water easily if they're young and just learning to swim. The smallest of waves will breach their mouth if it fits similar to my child. It can't be weight either because it is used on a medium/tall three year old with slim build that weighed ~28 pounds.
All in all though, it's a relatively minor complaint because it seems to be much more versatile for swimming than most vests and those bicep hugging inflatables fix the existing issue until new swimmers learn to watch the water a little and hold their breath when needed.
The plus side, it fits well, allows good mobility, the quality seems good, it has held up well and we have mostly used it on sand mixed paint on concrete patio which can rip and tear materials easily. The kids can wear it for hours and we've had no issues with skin burns/irritations on a child with very sensitive skin.
After one summer, we have a 3 year old that can tread water for a short time without the vest, can swim underwater well without the vest and breezes around the pool with the vest. I think it was a big help with confidence and learning the mechanics of basic swimming.
Great life vest August 25, 2010

The large fit my 5-year-old really well. She's 44 inches tall and weighs 44 pounds. She wore it the whole weekend at the water park and it was great.
Good so far, but I would like to see how durable it is. August 25, 2010

We used it about 5 times so far and it has great qualities. It's light, comfy, easy to put on and looks great. My 4 year-old does not mind wearing it all the time on the beach.I am a little concerned about the zipper though. We did have some trouble zipping it up sometimes and I am afraid it might become a problem in the future.
rubs under the arms July 20, 2010

This vest is like ALL vests of this type that I have seen. It rubs under the arms and causes wedgies when your kiddo is actually swimming and jumping. Great float - lets my 42 lb daughter go under when she jumps, but brings her right back up. It is cute, so my daughter loves it, and the vest itself is soft to the touch. No problem with the vest beyond the rubbing under the arms. The wedgie just goes with the territory of keeping the vest from "turtling" around their neck.
 very UNHAPPY with Speedo...super happy with AMAZON July 13, 2010

It works but causes rash and burns. Speedo said sorry...that's the way it is made. Amazon immediately refunded my money.
