Very good and useful for learning to swim. There is only one problem, which I don't know if it can be solved in any way... the buoyancy of the water lifts the life jacket up, resulting in the cord hurting the child on the bottom and wherever it touches, as well as the armpits getting chafed from the friction.

the belt underneath causes a problem, it should be much wider so that it does not hurt the children

It is perfect for learning how to swim. My 3-year-old daughter immediately learned to float on her own from the second use

very good construction, child 2.5 years old, 1m, 18kg, does not float unless he keeps trying, exactly what I wanted. it doesn't bother him at all, the fabric is very non-slip, if you need to grab him he won't slip. he can't unbuckle the bottom buckle by himself, but he can unzip it and take it off like pants if he wants. the foam pieces can be removed if you want it to be less easy for him. no problem at the sea (>10 times), I don't have much opinion about the pool, we went once and I had no problem.

Great vest, it does its job properly. Maybe some kids might be bothered by the tightening strap that goes under the groin.

The strap that goes between the legs is excellent, it helps to keep it from coming off and so we feel secure. In general, the armbands create a sense of safety and that's why I chose this one. However, be careful, the child does NOT float on the water, they need either help from the parent or an extra float or the well-known "noodle." However, it does protect from the sun for playing in the sand where the waves break (so maybe there's no need for a sea shirt anymore) and personally, I feel a sense of security when my child goes in and out of the sea to play. Very good quality, we've been using it for three years and it hasn't shown the slightest wear.

Perfect fit and looks very durable. After 25 days of long daily use all day, it shows no signs of wear at all. Overall, the child immediately felt confident and asked for it from the first day, which is the most important thing to understand how they truly feel wearing it. Along the way, we also removed some blocks and everything is just fine.

Very good in terms of build quality, I just can't understand its usefulness since a two-year-old falls forward, so something completely different is needed for the parent to feel relatively safe.

Very good construction, very beautiful. The strap that goes between the legs causes irritation to the skin as it rubs. I also don't think it's suitable for children who don't know how to swim at all because it doesn't keep the child on the surface. Perhaps it's for a transitional stage.

Very good vest but its zipper is much harder to close than another brand we had bought before. I always close it but it takes a bit of effort and becomes annoying.

If you put it on your child, definitely combine it with a shirt underneath (after all, they should wear a sun-protective shirt all day at the beach) because it will definitely leave marks on the skin.

Wonderful vest, with removable blocks (each block pocket can hold 3 smaller ones - so you can gradually remove one of the 3 and not completely empty the pocket). I have washed it 3 times in the washing machine on a low temperature (I removed the blocks) and it didn't get damaged at all! The only thing I have to note is that it doesn't have a great fit. My son is 2 years old (15 kg), I don't see it fitting him until he's 6...

It floated perfectly on its own in the sea, with us next to it of course, but we didn't feel a moment of insecurity! It's worth the money

Much better than arm floats as it provides the correct posture for swimming. With arm floats, the legs simply hang down, while with this product, the legs slightly rise. It requires a little patience at the beginning if the child is used to arm floats, as it requires a different "style" that they may not like at first dive.

Generally, you should buy 2-3 types of life jackets available on the market to see which one serves and suits you and your child best, as it is a necessary expense. This specific one was purchased for a 2-year-old child. For pool use, in combination with arm floaties, it works great. Definitely not for the sea, even with mild waves, our child drank water (always with arm floaties). Perhaps it is more suitable for older children. Very good construction quality.

No complaint, just a note regarding the size. When I bought it, my son was 2.5 years old, 15 kilograms, and 98 centimeters tall. Therefore, the 2-3 years size is relative. In order to zip it up for him, I had to empty the 2 front pockets and still, it was a tight fit. Other than that, it's fine.

The vest saved us. My son wouldn't go into the sea before this and stubbornly refused anything with arm floats, life jacket/ring, noodles, etc. He loved the vest because it doesn't bother him. It has excellent buoyancy and provides great safety, especially for a child who doesn't know how to swim at all. Although the child is 3 years old, we got the small size because he is slim and it fits him perfectly. It might even fit him next year! I recommend it blindly. It's worth every euro.

Good product. The little one is 2.8 and the life jacket fits well. The life jacket helps him stand on his own in the water with his own effort, but there is always someone nearby to supervise him. The main reasons I chose it are because it is made of Neoprene fabric to keep his body at a good temperature and also because it has a safety strap that prevents the life jacket from coming off. Finally, I should also mention that it dries quickly.

With the first application, the child (2 years old) swam on his own, covering short distances to reach me. Constant supervision is needed because he cannot keep the child's head out of the water. Until the child finds balance, he may turn and drink water. Its construction is designed to provide a slight upward push to help the child learn to swim progressively without a life jacket. In other words, it does not keep the head far enough away from the water. If the need is for the child to learn swimming, I highly recommend this product. If the need is for the child not to submerge in the water under any circumstances, I do not recommend it for any reason! Personally, I am very satisfied with the purchase. It dries quickly and fits quite well.
