Review: Confidence included. - ******Never assume that this is a replacement for full/direct parental supervision of any child wearing a Puddle Jumper. ******* Was at the pool and saw a group of young children playing with puddle jumpers on (pre-k)asked their mom where they got them, she said desertcart. It really seemed to me that those kids really enjoyed swimming more than my daughter which wore a water-ski style floatation device/ jacket from a local wholesale club. Although this particular design I could not find locally, they do carry these in other designs locally ['marts (you'll have to look around) ]but my little Ariel didn't want those. Had to be this one. Using an iPad to view this, the colors match the Puddle Jumper I received. This desertcart item was not overpriced either; PLEASE do not pay over 30+s&h. My daughter is 47lbs 3'6" and she swam the length of the pool several times, like a pro. It really seemed to boost her confidence while in water, while not exactly timid or hydrophobic before hand, she was reluctant to leave the shallow end where her feet could touch and actually practice the kicking / arm movements she was being taught. I think it is enough of a crutch that it will eventually be unnecessary in a few seasons. The thing I really liked about Puddle Jumpers is it did not chafe her, it did not slide up to her neck, and it was not cumbersome. It's Coast Guard certified for a certain size boat, idk what size but it did say on the tags which were attached to the life vest. Stearns' website was just as vague as desertcarts specs. These are Inherently buoyant, IIRC. Never mind I'll dig it out, per the vest: (condensed) SPECIAL USE -TYPE V PFD / INTENDED USE: Flotation Device. --CHILD-- USER WEIGHT: 30-50 lbs. (14-23 kg) Blah blah blah....This is a substitute for Type III PFD-- ONLY WHEN WORN. USCG approved wearable device for uninspected commercial vessels less than 40 ft (12 m) in length not carrying passengers for hire and for recreational boats. Not approved for personal watercraft , for skiing, or similar towed uses. Blah blah blah.... MUST BE WORN WITH BUCKLE IN BACK.... Blah blah....DO NOT CARRY HEAVY OBJECTS- HEAVY OBJECTS IMPAIR FLOTATION. Not designed to turn an unconscious wearer face up in the water... It's design provides a stable position in calm water with their head tilted back...Blah blah blah. UL LISTED FLOTATION AID. ---------------------------------------------------(Forgive me I do not want to write the entire listing on the PFD as there is a great deal of counterfeiting on the internet, and I do not wish to contribute to it. I hope the readers understand.)-------------------------------------- What I got from the above is, USCG Approved if your boat is for pleasure not for hire, then this PFD is a substitute for a type III PFD --at your own risk of course. Made for calm water, no chop. Also bear in mind that if a person/child were to grab the wearer of a puddle jumper it would impair flotation by adding additional weight. Something to think about if swimming in pools or lakes, crowded or not, with other children or unseasoned swimmers which ties to my very first statement. This review I intended for it to be short, so thanks for reading! Review: Cute, safe and functional! - My nearly 2 year old loves these. She was fighting us for more independence in the water (she didnt want to be held) and so I looked into vests that would keep her safe, whilst letting her move around without an adult holding her. This vest does a great job of supporting her body in a way that makes it easy to keep her head above water. She was able to splash around (including going up and down steps and "jumping" off the step ledge) all while keeping her head up. I feel like this is going to be a great tool in helping her learn to swim. Even in one swim session, she was learning a lot about how to move her body in the water. (Please note that while I was looking for something that helped her gain independence, she ALWAYS has adult supervision in the water, as should all young children. I'm very aware of the stats regarding infant drowning and want to stress that this product is fantastic at allowing your child to develop SOME independence in moving around the water, but an adult always should be present). ## Features - The Stearns Original Puddle Jumper Life Jackets have been tested and approved by the U.S. Coast Guard for use as Type V/III personal flotation devices in, on, or near the water - Meet strict requirements for use on boats, in public pools, and at water parks that require Coast Guard-approved devices - Nylon shell for durability - Playful designs make water safety fun for kids - Give beginners confidence when learning how to swim - Designed to fit snugly for added safety - Comfortable styling lets kids move and play freely in or near the water - Safety buckle snaps in the back so kids can't remove vests on their own (when properly tightened) - Adjustable strap offers a secure fit to children 30 to 50 lb. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07MV3PZNP | | Additional Features | Adjustable | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #336,763 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #45 in Snorkel Vests | | Brand Name | Bestway | | Closure Type | Buckle | | Color | Coral Fish | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (5,657) | | Fit Type | Adjustable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00044411035213 | | Included Components | Life Vest | | Item Type Name | Life Jacket | Life Vest for Children | | Item Weight | 0.41 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Puddle Jumper | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3000005713 | | Material Type | Polyester | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 50 Pounds | | Model Number | 3000005713 | | Outer Material | Polyester | | Personal Flotation Device Type | Life Jacket | | Size | 30-50 Pounds | | Strap Type | Adjustable | | UPC | 044411035213 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid - **Brand:** Bestway - **Color:** Coral Fish - **Material:** Polyester - **Size:** 30-50 Pounds ## Images ![Original Puddle Jumper Deluxe Kids Life Jacket, Comfortable Life Vest for Kids Weighing 30-50lbs, USCG Approved Type III Life Vest for Pool, Beach, Boats, & More - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Wt7tTTzOL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is this good for a 1.5 yr old toddler of only 25 pounds? or better not to risk it? any other product out there that might work?** A: You have to go by the weight of your child and what puddle jumper is rated at. If your child is in it’s weight range per the coastguard, than it’s a good fit! **Q: Is this puddle jumper made in usa or china?** A: Wichita ks **Q: i want to buy this product, i saw the most recent review. a lot customers said that they received fake products. it's that true? what's wrong?** A: I didnt receive a "fake" product, but I did not receive the color/style that I selected. I chose blue with pink flowers and I received a completely orange one. **Q: My daughter is 4 and weighs 30.4 lbs. will the 30-50lb be too big?** A: The jacket will not be to big for your 4 year old. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Confidence included. *by G***D on June 23, 2014* ******Never assume that this is a replacement for full/direct parental supervision of any child wearing a Puddle Jumper. ******* Was at the pool and saw a group of young children playing with puddle jumpers on (pre-k)asked their mom where they got them, she said amazon.

This floaty has given her the confidence to jump in and out of the pool. She is now able to jump in and out without wearing it during her swim lessons. She is 2 years old and was average height and weight at her two year appointment. She wears it at the tightest possible setting and it works well in the pool. Out of the pool it does still look a bit big and the arm pieces do sag a bit when wet and out of the pool. However, the chest part stays in place in and out of the pool and together with the arms it is in no danger of sliding down. I’m happy that this will last a long time since there is plenty of room to grow. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stearns Original Puddle Jumper Deluxe Kids Life Jacket, Comfortable Life Vest for Kids Weighing 30-50lbs, USCG Approved Type III Life Vest for Pool, Beach, Boats, & More - Speedo Kids' Swim Goggles Sunny G Ages 3-8 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/105421368-original-puddle-jumper-deluxe-kids-life-jacket-comfortable-life-vest](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/105421368-original-puddle-jumper-deluxe-kids-life-jacket-comfortable-life-vest) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
