## Overview

The Stearns Child Life Jacket is a USCG-approved Type II personal flotation device designed for kids weighing 30-50 pounds. Featuring a unique heads-up neck float for face-up safety, adjustable straps for a secure fit, and a bright, reflective design for high visibility, this vest combines comfort, durability, and top-tier safety. Ideal for pools, beaches, lakes, and boating, it includes a grab handle for quick rescue and a lined crotch strap to prevent slipping, making it the trusted choice for proactive parents who won’t compromise on their child’s water safety.

## Description

The youngest ones in the family can safely enjoy the water in a Stearns Heads-Up Child Vest. It's specially fitted for kids 30-50 lbs., with an extra contoured float above the neck—like a pillow—to encourage face-up flotation. A rescue handle allows adults to easily move the child from the water or the boat. Bright, reflective material makes quick work of spotting the child, and two adjustable chest straps and a Hydroprene-material-covered crotch strap ensure a tight fit at the pool, beach or lake. Durable polyester and nylon construction and PE flotation foam, along with 1-in.-wide webbed straps, will allow you to use the US Coast Guard-approved Type II vest season after season.

Review: Happy with my choice! - After hours of investigating and comparing different life jackets this is the one I settled on. Bright color, type ll turns them on their back while still allowing some mobility to learn to swim. it has the head rest and handle to pull them out. Bottom strap to protect against slipping out. My twins are 20 month old the are big boys at 31 & 33 lbs so I went with the child size that’s recommended for 30+ lb. it fits well.
Review: Great Type II Life Vest for Children - Update: I had originally purchased the "child" sized vest for my daughter, and have liked it so much that I just purchased the "youth" size for her as she is now outgrowing the smaller one (she is just over 50 lbs now). We use a more compact vest for fun at the beach or pool under supervision, but I do not think you can beat this vest for boating with a child. I really like the strap between the legs to keep her secure, the pull handle on the back so I can grab/wrangle her if needed, and that it forces her to float on her back with her head out of the water. Original: I purchased this for my daughter who is just over 30 pounds and has just started learning to swim. After some research, I decided I needed a few criteria for a child's life vest: it had to be Type II rated (this makes the person wearing it float face up even if they cannot swim or are unconscious) , it needed a grab handle, and it needed good adjustment straps for a snug fit as well as a strap between the legs so it could not slide up over her head. This product is one of the few I could find that covered all my requirements. I also like the very bright green color for safety visibility as well. We have not used it boating yet, but my wife took the vest with our daughter to her swimming class this morning and the instructor said he would rate this vest a 10 out of 10 for a child's safety. The instructor took her in the water and she floated comfortably on her back with no effort at all. Again, my daughter is just over 30 pounds, and the adjustment straps made for a perfect fit with room to grow (she is just at the bottom of the rating for this vest which is 30-50 lbs). I would not recommend this for a child smaller than 30 pounds, but it does seem perfectly sized for the range it is rated at, with good adjustment range. The vest zips up the front to keep it securely closed, then the three straps (two around the torso and one between the legs) can be adjusted to keep the vest exactly where it needs to be while remaining comfortable. I used the grab handle on the back to pick my daughter up off the floor (which she thought was fun, so it was not uncomfortable) and she did not slide down in the vest at all. The back flotation pad sits across the shoulders, out of the way, but floats up behind the head when in the water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth your money - top notch safety
*by M***S on July 15, 2025*

I get nervous in the water and these feel extremely safe. We took our kids to a lake and these were amazing. The bright color is very noticeable, which I loved. There is a part behind the head that comes out for a safe back floating position. The mobility is versatile - One of my kids is a great swimmer and can still swim well with these. My other kid isn't the best swimmer and this allows them to feel comfortable. These are easy to adjust. The sizes are spot on. I love that they are durable and will last a long time.
