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.

Perfect! Fits great (with extra room to grow) on my 42# daughter! Soft and flexible so wont hurt/poke/etc. once we get in the water! Packed and ready for the lake!

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.

Thing is awesome

It fits my daughter very well, is well constructed and seems very durable. The only downside is that it seems to absorb water, and gets heavy.

I have no complaints about this life jacket. My favorite is the handle on the back which allows you quick access for grabbing your child successfully out of the water. Despite the age/size on this, I found it to be slightly larger on my child but that doesn’t constitute for a lesser review. Everything about this is perfect! For added comfort when this becomes a perfect fit, I will likely add a padded sleeve cover to the crotch strap.

I searched extensively for a comfortable life jacket for our three year old. He hated his infant life vest, so I wanted something he wouldnt want to rip off while boating and floating a river, especially since he can unclasp things on his own. This jacket was perfect. The baby was screaming and hot in the infant vest, but the three year old seemed to forget he was even wearing one. Great investment for our family, and I will be ordering something similar for the younger kid for next time.

Fits great and comfortable enough to wear all day!

Very pleased with fit and childs comfort level/confidence when wearing

This is a horrible product. I bought it a month ago and my 2yo son has used it 3 times. I use the term used lightly as it has been used in the water once when he jumped in to cool off. The other two times he wore it on a boat. The right side is separating at the shoulder- the entire length of the connection is literally hanging by a thread. On closer inspection, the handle behind the head - what you would grab to save the child if he fell in is also separating... Zero stars.
