ONeill Wetsuits Child Reactor USCG Life Vest

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.

Great jacket! My little guy loves swimming in the river, so I wanted something dependable but not constricting. He seems comfortable in it and it holds him up well:). The handle on the back helps with pulling him up too:)

Really good material perfect body fit my boys love it.

True to size

Thing is awesome

Love it! Super good quality and keeps our little guy cool while on the boat. He weighs about 34lbs so this was a big upgrade from his baby vest.

Worked great for my 3 year old twin boys. They hate wearing life vests, but they kept these on the whole time. The fabric was very soft and comfortable. Definitely worth spending a little extra for this! I highly recommend these life vests.

My son isnt a strong swimmer yet, so we need life vests for simple swimming in town pools and state beaches. (all flotation/swim assistant gear needs to be US Coast Guard approved). This was very comfortable and gave him more range of motion in his arms while swimming. Unlike the classic boxy nylon life vests, this one didnt seem to leave a red mark of irritated skin under his armpits, which is always an added bonus.

Its a little big, but he enjoys this much more than the ones with the cuffs and it doesnt restrict his head movement. The stitching is high quality and the handle at the top makes it great to fish him out of the water if needed. The added pad for the strap that goes between the legs helps too.

Very tight on our 43lb 4year old, sent back
