Getting your kids to wear a life jacket has never been easier thanks to the Stearns Puddle Jumpers flotation devices. U.S. Coast Guard-approved, the Puddle Jumpers come in several color schemes, including such imagination-spurring designs as the green frog, the orange smile, and the red ladybug. More importantly, the floats aren't just for looks; they're also a great confidence builder for kids who are just learning their way around the water. The patent-pending design allows your child a free range of motion and terrific stability in the water, so your boy or girl can safely float in place, swim in a straight line, or play with friends while you watch contentedly from the side. Relaxing in the water will never be easier or more fun that with the Puddle Jumpers life jacket. The Puddle Jumpers are designed for kids who weigh between 30 and 50 pounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best flotation device ever!, May 11, 2009

My 2 year old son loves his floatie! We both love the freedom it gives him to move around in the water. He doesn't have to be held anymore which he loves! He'll float on his back, front, and upright of course! It does not flip him face down as other life vests we've tried. Also, he is under 30 lbs (the manufacturer says it fits from 30-50 lbs) and it fits him just fine. He is 26 lbs. I almost didn't buy it because of this but am so glad I did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for use in all bodies of water, June 26, 2009

The grandparents bought our 2-yo and 4-yo each one of these, and we could not be more pleased. We have used them in the pool, the lake, and even the Gulf. They provide much more stability than water wings, but allow more freedom of movement than the full-body flotation suits. The kids notice a huge difference, and it shows in their confidence in the water. Within minutes of wearing the Puddle Jumpers, our 4-year-old (who is generally timid in even bathwater) was leaping off the diving board and wanting to be tossed in the air.

Two points of warning, which are not enough to warrant even a one-star deduction: If your child is on the smaller side, you will want to be *sure* you cinch the strap tightly around his chest. Our 2-year-old has never slipped out of his suit, but a couple of times when we loosened the strap the wings slipped down below his elbows. If he had wanted to, he might could have pulled his arms out.

Also, I am not kidding about these suits inspiring confidence in your kids. You may find your kids feel invulnerable around the water, even when they aren't wearing the vest. You will want to be sure their confidence doesn't make you less vigilant in monitoring the kids in the water. No life vest or flotation device is absolutely fool-proof, and any kid can find himself suddenly in distress.

Have a fun and safe summer, everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product!!!, September 19, 2008

My son is 2 1/2 and was afraid of being in the water - he was always clinging on to me. We have tried 5 or more different types of live vests and devices and nothing made him feel safe..until puddle jumpers. He loves it, it is comfortable and he is able to "swim and move around" by himself. We have only tried it in the pool, not in the ocean or lake where there might be rougher waters. But it works, he is confident and enjoys the water more than ever. My son is loving the movie Finding Nemo, so the orange one was excellent for him. This product is very much worth the money.
