## Description

Help keep your little swimmer safe at the beach or on a boat with the Stearns Infant Classic Series Vest. This infant life jacket is made with durable nylon and PE flotation foam to withstand regular use on boats and in the water and is US Coast Guard approved. Specially fitted for infants weighing less than 30 pounds, this toddler life jacket has one adjustable buckle strap and a zipper for a secure fit and comes with an adjustable leg strap, so the vest doesn’t ride up in the water. A rescue handle on the back of the vest allows adults to easily pick up an infant from the water or a boat if necessary.

Review: Great for 11 month old - Fit my 23 pound, 11 month old perfectly. Seems well made and durable! Seemed to be comfortable and lightweight as he didn’t fuss and even fell asleep wearing it! I prefer this design as it has a float behind baby’s head to keep their face away from the water.
Review: great quality & perfect for a lake kid! - my child LOVES the water & we’re big campers, so having this when at the pool, lake, whatever is absolutely a relief. for wise it fits great, he’s less than 30 lbs & secures very nicely on him!! we love the color bc it’s so important to be able to see your kiddo especially around water, so bright red was a necessity & we love that! it adjusts nicely to fit a little more snug around torso & crotch area to keep him safe & sound! & doesn’t obstruct his mobility much either!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Amazon is offering "small" or "large". Both state "This life jacket fits infants weighing less than 30 pounds" What is the difference?**
A: I'm not really sure why they have put sizing in the options because the life jacket that I purchased just says infant inside and up to 30 lbs. I will say that I bought the small because I was buying for my 4 month old that weighs 13 lbs but upon reading your question thought I would try on my 25 lb 2 year old and it also fits her. Hope this helps.

**Q: Is this life jacket u.s. coats guard approved?**
A: Yes!  It sure is!  Wouldn't have purchased it if it wasn't Coast Guard approved.  In fact, if your life vests are not approved by the Coast Guard, they can ticket you!  I'd rather be safe than sorry with a great life vest for an infant.

**Q: What size fits one?**
A: You choose the size based on weight, not age. If your child is under 30 lbs, you would choose the infant size.

**Q: Would this work for a 22 pounder? And should I just disregard the sizes?**
A: I used it for my daughter who was about 22 pounds for a boat trip.  This brand of infant vest is one size that fits infants under 30 lbs. I think the sizing is a mistake on the seller and can be disregarded.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely one of the besy buys!
*by E***Y on May 26, 2015*

I would absolutely recommend this product for the purpose for which I purchased it. I have a six month old son and it's important to me that he find water fun and get used to swimming early on since we're coastal folks. I bought this for him and it fit great. The zipper is a tiny bit fiddly because it's plastic but not enough to cause any problems. It fit snugly and the straps weren't uncomfortable. I put my son in the water and he had a fabulous time floating on his back (supervised, of course!). I can't attest to how this would work in choppy water but if you read the instructions, it's designed for calm waters (lakes, pools, etc). I had him in it and was guiding him around by the handle on the back for some time. he never fell or tipped, even when he got splashy and wriggly. He stayed on his back the whole time. It also rights itself nicely. I would 'stand' him in the water and he would float on to his back again without his face getting submerged. This is the best money we've spent and it's much more cost effective than some of the swimming aids on sale for tiny infants. Again, I can't guarantee this will work as a life preserver in lakes or pools. I'm just sharing my experiences but my son stayed face up and his face was never submerged, even when moving a lot and being buffered.
