 Item info needs sizing information (but excellent swim aid!) Jun 28, 2011
By Evelyn G.
I ordered this for my 2-year-old, 27-lb. son to use in the pool. Amazon and Speedo's website both do not have poundage information for the sizing but I guessed and ordered a medium. I was worried when the tag said "2-4 years 22" chest 33-45 lbs" as my son is definitely below the weight, but this vest fits him perfectly. Hopefully this information will help others. My son loves the vest because he can kind of float a bit on his own and I feel safer knowing he's not going to sink to the bottom (of course I stay near him in case he goes under).

Great Swim Vest! Back to buy another! Mar 22, 2011
By Grace G.
My son has used his size large from 5 to 6 years old. It was absolutely perfect for him to gain confidence in our pool at home. Now my older son is growing out of his and able to swim on his own. But my toddler is about ready for a vest of his own, so I'm back to buy a medium for him.
In case there is still any confusion about the use of this vest, let me help clear it up:
This vest is a swim trainer, not a life-jacket. It supplies enough support in the water for weak swimmers to gain strength and confidence. Any circumstance they would be practicing swimming in a pool, on the shore of a lake, pond, or the pool of a waterfall, this vest will allow them to swim without sinking easily. They will have to work a little to keep their head above water. It is a swimming vest, not a lazy floating vest. When my son was about 5, it took him an afternoon to get used to the vest and taking partial responsibility for keeping himself up and swimming. After that we both felt reasonably confident of his general water safety and became very comfortable swimming with this product. He was free to use his arms to paddle, as well as kick around. This vest gives kids a good strong start in the water.
(Please note, this is not for use in the ocean in most circumstances. Sometimes a floating child in the sea is in more danger than a sinking one. Better keep kids safe, within your reach in shallow water they can stand in, and/or secure in a certified life vest. No young child should be allowed to swim unsupervised regardless of how great their floatation device is.)

Great Vest Jul 09, 2010
By MCP
This life vest is great. The medium fit my 2 yr old perfectly. He is 30 lbs 36 inches. I felt a lot safer with it in the pool.

 Make sure you check with your pool's rules! Mar 01, 2011
By S. Ahmad
These are not Coast Guard approved and they will not let my child wear this at our Health Club pool. They also do not allow it at swim lessons. Some people may already know that, but if you buy it and want to use it at a club or a place where they have lifeguards, they will not allow these into certain pools. Whether or not the vest actually works, I cannot say. I don't have my own pool to try it out in. We opted for a puddle jumper because it's coast guard approved and we can use it at our gym. Kind of a bummer, I liked the neoprene factor to keep them warm.

Great item Jan 27, 2010
By Shannon J. Davis

Not too bulky, but gives plenty of support. My only issue is that sometimes it rides up and gives my son a rash on his neck from rubbing against it.
