He’s 22 pounds and most other “puddle jumpers” are too big, too low on the chest, or don’t keep him afloat. This one fits him so well and he can be independent in the pool! We have the same one for my 4 year old who is 30 pounds so I know it will last him a long time!

We bought it over a year ago and we are still using it today. We got it when she was 4 years old and now she is 5. Great life vest for the money. Love the bright color so we can spot her in the pool; and easy to use.

- ClarissaReviewed in Singapore on August 19, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars It was a lifesaver! Quite literally.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we haven't been able to start our 2 year old daughter for swim classes as we had initially intended to. This caused her to have fears of the water and she refused to be "let go" if she was in the water.
We had planned a day at the water theme park and part of me worried that she would be too afraid to try the rides or even be in the kiddy pool due to this fear. But once she had her Paddle Pals on - she was a completely different child. Her confidence in the water came back and she was an extremely happy camper with the rides. She even refused to leave the place!
We even had other parents come and ask us what we were using for her.
