Splash About Go Splash Swim Vest

Such a great floatie for my almost six year old, who is getting more comfortable in the water but still can't swim. We used it EVERY day on our Mexico trip...in the pool, hot tub, ocean, and for snorkeling. Highly recommend, plus it's cute and not ugly like so many floaties for kids!

Firstly: This is NOT a lifejacket. Don't get this if you are looking for a lifejacket.This item is fantastic. We had a life jacket for our toddler, but it kept her too high out of the water in the pool. We tried her cousin's puddle jumper (not realizing what it was) and found it better but didn't like how it prevented her arms from moving properly and didn't keep her low enough in the water. So in preparation for her third birthday at grandma's pool, we purchased this.When we put this on and had her get in, she expected it to do all the work and immediately went under. We helped her get her bearings and get used to the arm and leg motions. She's a quick study and loves the water, so it wasn't long before she was navigating around the pool on her own (with an adult in arm's reach, of course).Added bonus: Because this assists with buoyancy rather than fully supports, she's able to go under the water. Which meant that we had some fun counting and then going under together and letting her ride on my back while I swam her across the pool underwater.

Haven’t used yet but cute!

Works well but doesn’t have Coast Guard approval. If this is something required by a water park you frequent keep shopping. Otherwise a very good and functional vest. My child felt well at ease in the pool wearing this.

Safe and comfortable for the grandkids.

We have had 3 of these in different sizes and all my kids have loved them. The child needs to be big enough to kind of hold up their own weight because this propels them forward some but the freedom to move their arms and legs while swimming has been invaluable. This vest brings me the comfort I need as a parent to know my child is ok in the pool and has been great to help them while they are learning to swim. We have only used them in the pool so I don't know how they would do at a lake or ocean.

This vest is really nice and the prints are super cute. It does not seem to hold very much weight though. I bought the one that coincides with my kids weight and it does not keep them above water at all. Bummer

This came on a trip with us for my toddler to the Bahamas where we were literally spending 4 days straight in the water and it was perfect! He felt comfortable in it, was easy to use and travel with (compacted/thin to put in the back of our backpack carry on). Super adorable and fit my son the best - he is around 33/34" and just under 30lbs.
