Questions & Answers

Could this be a category lll from the Coast Guard?

A perfect ideal does not exist for me. Make sure to check with the manufacturer. It's my fault

It looks like the life jacket rolls up (similar to most life vests) when swimming isn't it?

As long as you are swimming, it will roll up. It worked great for me to sew a strap that goes between my son's legs with a connector (the same as the three on the vest). It's the same as the vest for kids.

Besides, I have a grandson that is husky and heavy, so I need to buy by size, not by name. Do you have sizes or can we can order by name?

Both my sons wear a youth large and a youth medium, and it fits them both (a little loose on the This fits me perfectly even though I am a women's size medium.

What are the sides like? Are they open or closed?

The sides of the door are closed, and only the middle section is open

Selected User Reviews For STEARNS Antimicrobial Nylon Youth Vest

My 10 (nearly 11) year old son purchased this for a week of various outdoor water activities
5/5

The quality of the product is excellent, and the cost is reasonable. He is about 9 years old, but he is a bit skinny for someone of his height It was a pretty good fit for him as a 10 year old. The water would ride up a bit on his body when he floated, but he never complained about it (even though he can complain a lot). His safety was never in question due to it. I never had to worry about it. I have not used this item yet, but from the appearance, it appears to be durable and of high The product I purchased is exactly what I was looking for.

It looks like he has a brand new belt now that I sewed a buckle between his legs
5/5

As my son is on the smaller end for this vest, I attached a buckle that goes between his legs and now it fits great. I did that because the best was going over his head in the water before I did that. Within a few years, he will be able to fit into this vest perfectly. I like the quality of it!.

The value of this product is exceptional
5/5

I purchased 2 of these for my 7 and 9 year old sons to use on days out on the lake. They are of excellent quality for the price. Because they are highly visible, I find that to be a great safety feature. Their comfort with these seems to be quite good, so they seem to wear them for most of the day.

Life jackets don't actually come in yellow colors they usually come in There is a feeling of deceit in my heart
3/5

This is a completely different color than what we were expecting. Originally, we ordered one in yellow, but this one came almost completely gray with just a trim of yellow on both sides and at the bottom. It was our intention to paint our child yellow so that if anything happened to him or her, he or she would be able to easily be seen. Despite the gray in the water being quite opaque, you won't be able to see it A very deceiving picture. In addition, we don't have time to return it, since we need to use it the following week for camp, so we are unable The blue one would have been my first choice at the store if I knew. A very disappointing experience. As for the fit, it's a little large as well. While my son is not an overweight child, he is a little thin at 4 feet 6 inches and 70 pounds, but I can put my whole arm up his She can touch the top of her head with the arm holes when in the water, so it rides up almost to.

An average size 5 year-old girl who weighs 55 pounds will find the vest to fit somewhat large
5/5

For a 5 year old who weighs 55 pounds, it's a bit large A little bit of height is added. Despite this, her favorite part is how well it works. Since I didn't want it to completely go over her head in deep water, I created a crotch strap from another amazon product (had to make it work and cut it down). I found this to be a helpful solution, but not one of the best! A heavier or bigger child is more likely to benefit from this jacket than a child close to or just above the recommended To play in shallow waters, you need a jacket that is comfortable.

It has been one year since I have used it heavily, and it is Having owned four for one year with heavy use, I can vouch for their quality
5/5

A dock is on the dock of our house on the water. There is a high amount of mildew in this Playing at our house are all the kids in the neighborhood. We have used them with my students for the last 20 years It has been 12 years since it was brought up without Their size ranges from 8 to 15 inches, so the kids in the neighborhood can wear them easily. It is not stinky and it is not an odor These products still look almost new (they have never been cleaned, only left in the sun to dry). A kid's appearance and sense of well-being are important to them. For the first time, kids do not complain about the life jacket. Because they are so great, the company will probably stop producing them at some point. Is that right?.

I like this vest
5/5

It is a good vest. The fit was exactly what you'd expect for a 50lb, 6 1/2 year old child - Support is excellent, thank you - It was easy to add a bottom strap to ensure that it stayed on*, br The good used in pools and at the beach so far and hasn't faded or had issues, no matter if it's in chlorinated or salt water. It doesn't come with a lower strap for younger swimmers, but it doesn't really seem to be a necessity.

It's a great vest and one I bought for my six-year-old
5/5

Safety first. He had outgrown his other vest, so I wanted to find one to replace it. We go to the lake a lot, so we always wear vests. As well as jet skis, we bought them this summer. This would be great for them as well. I bought this vest for my son who weighs about 57 pounds, so the size is a little large, but he will grow into it.
