Toddler Lifevest

[Devin]

Try the floating swimsuits, Codie. Our boys grew up wearing them anywhere around water.

They have them all the way down to toddlers. Not USCG approved but, plenty buoyant and comfortable. Just have a toddler USCG approved one on hand if you get checked by GW.

Speedo makes a good looking one but it is not Coast Guard approved. This is what I think you would want, just legal.

exactly! I saw that one earlier and thought I had found what I was looking for until I saw that it was not coast guard approved.

My son had one like that he didn;t mind wearing it but it was warm when we were fishing in the summer.

My girls love the puddle jumper life jackets. It's good to know they are coast guard approved.

no I have not - that would be great if the 30-50lb vest fit him tight enough to keep from riding up on him. We may venture to the metroplex this weekend and see if we can try some on if they don't have any here at our local Wal-Mart

Try it. When my daughter was only 20 pounds or so I put her in one of these and it worked great, fit like a glove. Now she's ~40 pounds and still wearing the same one... no problems.

The old school rubber ones are the worst in my experience about riding up and making the kid look and feel like a turtle My older son has a puddle jumper and likes it now that he is big enough that it doesn't constrict his arm movement but he hated it when he was smaller because the huge arm floats kept his arms restricted. With our 2yr old being even smaller than he was when he didn't like it I am worried that it would constrict his arms to much. I just want a thin, tight vest with no head flap attached to it for a child under 30lbs and it is not looking like it is available, but I seriously might just get one and carefully cut the head flap off of it.

Codie puddle jumper is. What my 3 and 2 yr use my 3 year old is 47 lbs and 2 year old is 32 lbs and works great on both they get use to it.

What size, I have something similar hanging in the garage from when I actually had a boat. If it fits, I'll send it your way. Shoot me a pm with your cell or email for pics.

Nevermind. Stupid squirrels or mice decided they liked the floatation. Sorry bout that

Ordered the puddle jumper today 20 bucks to my door... My son liked the "geen" (green) one.

Codie we have one we got for the oldest grandson it is made by Ski Pro. It has a rear zipper and has shorts on the bottom and no head rest. This size is child long and it is 40-50 pounds and is Coast Guard approved. I got it at North Texas Marine in Gainesville.

Tried on the 30-50 pound vests and it fit just fine adjusted to its smallest size. Thanks for the tip on trying out the childrens size instead of the toddler size!
