Overview
Stearns makes this red child life vest from nylon, with a pull-on design instead of a buckle front. Adjustable straps and a leg strap help hold it on a smaller body, and the title calls it a coast guard approved Type III.
Pull-on styling means there is no buckle for a child to fiddle with, and a strap between the legs resists the vest riding up in the water. The weight range is narrow, so a child outside it needs a different size.
Who it's for
Children in the stated weight band who swim, boat or play at the beach. Parents of a child about to outgrow the range should buy the next size up instead.
Pros and cons
- Pull-on design, no buckle
- Leg strap helps hold it down
- Light nylon build
- Narrow weight range
- Care steps not listed
Performance notes
Foam inside the nylon provides the lift, and the leg strap anchors the vest so it stays low on the torso. A snug fit decides how well it works, so adjust the straps before the child enters the water.
