ONeill Wetsuits Child Reactor USCG Life Vest

These fit my 3 year old son and my 5 year old daughter, they are about the same size. The thickness is pretty good, much better than the cheaper ones at local stores. We wanted something the kids can cast and fish with. I would prefer something a little thinner but they are one of the best options i could find. They are a bit dense too, which obviously comes with a little vest but be advised. The grab handle on the back is a nice feature if they go overboard.

Soft material! My 3 1/2 year old likes it and actually wants to wear her “big girl” life vest!

My 3.5 year old loves it! He wont take it off. Very good quality that will last through siblings.

Perfect fit and good comfort for our picky 7 year olds! We love the bright colors for increased visibility.

My toddler loves splashing around in this life jacket!

Perfect! Fits great (with extra room to grow) on my 42# daughter! Soft and flexible so wont hurt/poke/etc. once we get in the water! Packed and ready for the lake!

Love this life jacket. My 4yo was comfortable wearing it for hours. Fit perfectly, didnt ride up he was able to move comfortably.

Only negative thing is the single crotch strap. I found that other kiddie life vests with dual crotch straps are more comfortable according to my little girl.

This seems to be a well-made life vest. I have a tall and lean 8yo that hates getting her face wet, which means we’ve been putting off swimming lessons for our own sanity. Now, faced with a beach vacation, I wanted something that would be comfortable and that I could trust to keep her safe in the ocean (under supervision, of course). This is highly durable neoprene material—a $20 lifejacket from Target or Walmart, this is not. I like the addition of the handle on the top and the strap between the legs. I wish that there was a neoprene sleeve on that strap as I imagine that may rub the skin and make it sore. I might order something that will work on my own. I got it on sale for roughly $60 and that seems like an absolute steal. I will update after it’s been worn consistently.

Excellent! Bought for my son to use at pool party, and for the summer while learning to swim. This little vest allowed him to go in the water with friends and not fear being over his head. Being able to relax and watch him have fun playing was priceless. Slim design, it didnt get in his way, and he loved the way it looked, so he was not self conscious about wearing it.
