TRC Recreation Super Soft Child Size X Small Life Jacket USCG Approved Vinyl Coated Foam Swim Vest for Kids Swimming Pool and Beach Gear, Marina Blue

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Fantastic life vest. My 4 yr old kid loved these at Disney World Resorts. He always refuses to go into the deep end. But with this life vest, he swims around no problem. It’s very comfortable. He never asks me to take it off. He even fell asleep in the car with it on. It’s also very easy to pick him up by holding on the top of the shoulders. So we decided to buy one for going to our local swimming pool. It’s the best kid life vest I’ve ever found.

I don’t write reviews often but this life vest is amazing. We first used them on our recent trip to Disneyland’s Grand Californian pool and were so impressed how independent our toddlers were we decided to buy them right away for our home. Whether your young ones aren’t quite there yet swimming on their own or never taken a lesson these vests are great in the meantime. Why did you pick this product vs others?:Safe yet gives child independence

This is the best life jacket for small children. The arm holes are smaller than the typical arm hole openings found on the neoprene life vest. That feature keeps the jacket from riding up on the child making it much more comfortable to wear. We used them with our children 20+ years ago and now we have them for our grandchildren. The soft shell adds to the comfort of the wearer too.

Very good lifeguard. Personally, I loved it. My daughter doesn't sink and can swim well.

My son is autistic so extremely picky. He does not mind wearing this at all and says it is comfortable. It fits well and does not ride up when in water. Looks great without being over bulky and quickly earned his confidence. Doesn’t affect his range of motion.

I wish these life vests were around when our kids were growing up. My daughter was introduced to Texas Rec life vests when their family went on a Disney cruise. She was so impressed with the comfortable fit and safety features that they immediately bought one when they returned home. We have an outdoor pool; our four year old grandson spends every waking moment in it. We feel much safer knowing he's in one of these vests, and I’m convinced they help boost children's confidence levels. He's not afraid to swim in any water depth and can dive and jump without the vest riding up or becoming uncomfortable. My daughter lives on a lake, so the vest get used both here and there. Texas Rec life vests may be a bit pricier than some other swimming vests, but they’re well worth the cost and peace of mind. These are photos of our four year old—he’s been wearing this X-small for two years and it's showing no signs of wear.Update: We finally bought the next size up (small) for the four year old, but his one year old twin brothers can still get lots of use out of the smaller size because they’re such sturdy little vests. Thanks to this vest and some swimming lessons, the four year old can now swim without one, but he still wears a vest while boating or tubing for safety reasons.

Perfect git for my 6yo daughter, she spent all summer swimming in pools with it while I relaxed watching her.

The media could not be loaded. Upon opening the package, I pulled the life jacket out of the box the first thing I noticed is that the vest was stuck together like it had been melted when trying to unbuckle the straps. Once I flipped the vest over I noticed bubbles all on the outer sides of the life vest along with holes on the top of the shoulder part of the vest. I understand with type of material it can happen. But my son has the same super soft life vest but in the color yellow, and comparing the 2 together even with it being over to 2 years old the yellow vest has no visible wear other than a change in color. No bubbling, or holes. The product I received is faulty, and I would not recommend purchasing.
