    Toddler life vest

    Needing a life jacket for my daughter. She is about 28 lbs. boating and general water stuff. Would like a type II coast guard approved vest. Any suggestion?
    Obviously safety is number one priority. And hopefully something comfortable that she will tolerate wearing. What are y'all using for your kids?

            I picked one up at Academy. The tags in the PDF should list weight ranges for the kid. I have since passed it on to a friend. They outgrow them quick.

              The puddle jumpers are awesome for a smaller kid. My son is 35 pounds and has pretty much outgrown his. We have a regular vest for him too.

                Get this. It has arm sleeves with flotation. Coastguard approved. My grandson swims with it keeps the child upright in the water.

                  No expert here but was told to get one that has neck support not all of them will keep them upright and on their back. My kids has a flat behind the head when he's been in the water with it it puts him upright at a leaning back position where his face is always out of the water and won't roll forward with face into water if he leans forward like a normal adult vest will

                    My kid in the puddle jumper last summer at 15 months. No issues swimming or floating around at his own will.

                      Thanks for the replies and the offers fellas. I appreciate it. Ran over to Walmart right now and found a puddle jumper I'm going to pick up. Has floatation behind head and on front. Type II.
                      Thank you for the generous offers.

                            Remember if something should happen that puddle jumper won't keep a child's head out of the water.

                            If you're taking the child out on a boat get a PFD that goes around the neck.

                              Stella's old one may be in your boat, they are welcome to it if it's there.
