👶 Stearns Puddle Jumper Deluxe Kids Life Jacket/Youth Life Vest - Original and Improved Choice for Children Review

This is not a true Stearns jumper. As soon as my 2 year old daughter got in the water she wobbled and wouldn't swim. It was either head forward or straight back. We have another puddle sweater for my 3 year old daughter who has had it for 2 years and if you look closely it says Stearns on the float on the arm and also has a small Stearns tag on the bottom. This one came with all OFF tags and just lay on its side. No Stearns outside and Stearns tags. The sewing details are also very different…

I ordered a mermaid vest for my youngest daughter and was very disappointed with the quality. Lots of thread sticking out and the seams on the sleeves were sloppy. Worst of all, however, was the odd bulge on the inside of the vest. I tried smoothing it out but the stuff/suds kept coming out which made me wonder if it might bother my little one. This was my second puddle jumper and the quality of this one is not the same as our old one. I was also wondering if this could be fake, but I also see…

We love this for our little mermaid! She is 18 months old and weighs 20 kilos. We fought at pool parties this summer because she wanted to splash around with big kids and hated baby rafts. The first 4-5 times she used it we held her in our arms and taught her to hold her head up straight. After that she got used to it and can now swim freely! Her face can still sink in the water, but as she gets stronger, she remembers to lean back, and even when she leans back with her full weight, she still…

2 year old daughter stopped playing on the baby inflatable raft as she became unconscious/afraid of just swimming alone. For the next few trips to the pool we just kept it - it's fun but has its pros and cons. Enter the game Puddle Jumper. This is good because dad doesn't have to blow her up every time she wants to go swimming and since she can't defecate it makes her a bit safer. She can still hold on to mom or dad (more often dad), but we can challenge her and let her rise at arm's length…

So there are a number of reviews here claiming to have received fake puddle jumpers. The real difference is that Coleman, a manufacturer of tents and other camping gear, acquired Sterns in 2008 and recently took over full production of the Puddle Jumper. And in doing so, they obviously cut corners and changed the manufacturing process because the product is inferior to the original. If you order samples with Stearns in hand, you will receive the original Stearns. But otherwise, the ones with…

My daughter loves the water and swimming. Unfortunately, she's enjoying it so much that she's ready to jump without hesitation. We have tried using a toddler/toddler life jacket in the pool but they are too bulky for her to properly enjoy the water. That's when we heard about the Puddle Jumper product. After she bought one of these, it only took her a day to get used to puddle jumping. The whole time she was screaming, crying and whining about how much she hated it. The next day she knew she…
