The fun lasts longer for kids in the water with a Stearns Puddle Jumper Deluxe Life Jacket. The premium construction is made from woven polyester, a softer fabric for less chafing. The comfortable design also allows children 30-50 lbs. (13.6 kg.-22.7 kg.) to move and swim freely in pools and lakes and at the beach, without the life jacket riding up around their necks. The Coast Guard-approved life jacket features a fun giraffe character on the front for more fun in the water. The life jacket can also be used as a learn-to-swim aid. Keep your youngster safe and mobile in the water with the Puddle Jumper Deluxe Life Jacket from Stearns. The Puddle Jumper's patent-pending design doubles as a swim aid and as a Coast Guard Approved Type III personal flotation device. Intended for small children weighing between 30 and 50 pounds, the Puddle Jumper keeps children's arms and chest afloat, allowing them to kick and paddle forwards on their stomach in a natural swimming motion--without face planting in the water. This design both keeps kids safer in the water and helps them develop their swimming skills with confidence. Built for comfort with kid sensibility in mind, the Puddle Jumper is made of soft, durable woven polyester that won't chafe, and comes in fun designs that little kids will want to wear. Easy to take on and off over swim clothes, the Puddle Jumper attaches securely in the back with an adjustable webbing strap. The US Coast Guard recommends Type III PFDS for use in calm, inland waters, or where there is a good chance for fast rescue. Type III PFDs are considered flotation aids, not life preservers and children should not be left unattended at any time while wearing a Type III PFD.
