Great life vest for a good price

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2012

Verified Purchase

We bought this life vest for my 10 month old daughter for boating. I read some reviews about people saying their child just did not like the thing on them. My daughter doesn't mind it. It fits her just fine. All of the padding for floatation is in the front of the life vest and the back is nothing but nylon, so because of the bulk in the front my daughter cannot do anything with the life vest on her, which possibly when she gets better mobility this will change. I love the handle on the headrest, making it easy to pick her up out of the water. The colors are vibrant (I am sure over time the sun will get to them and fade, as the sun does most everything). There is a strap that goes in between the baby's legs making it safe to lift them out of the water. The only thing I find a little difficult is carrying my baby when the life vest is on her. My daughter likes to be held on my hip with her front side facing me, and because of all of the padding being on the front side of her, it causes her to recline away from me, which means I have to be all the more careful she doesn't fall back. The life vest itself is great though!

Great product

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2012

We purchased this for our 5 month old boy and it was the perfect little life vest for boating. I think the best thing about it is the vest doesn't rub against his chin. It's also clear of any other potential "irritant" spots (face, ears, etc.) that could cause a fuss so he appeared very comfortable and snug. It has a cool handle on the top and his head would be supported out of the water with the flotation element behind his head. I really can't see how there would be a more substantial, comfortable, safe, and durable design for a small baby's life vest.

I purchased this vest for my infant daughter when she was 4 months old we have used it since then and she is 8 months now ! It works great and it seems to be comfortable for her while we are out on the water. Perfect price for the use and quality of this vest ! For size reference my daughter is 18lbs and was about 14lbs when we started using it.

Nice vest

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

Wanted to order the best and safest infant life vest for my new grandbaby. Did my research and kept coming back to the O'Neill vest because of its online reviews. This life vest is made for an infant, fits like a glove, and made me feel secure while traveling by water. Our grandbaby is only 3 months old, so to say the least, she was not too happy while wearing the vest because of its snug fit but again we were very happy with the quality and fit!

This is a good quality life vest

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is a good quality life vest. We're going on a cruise in a few weeks and I insisted on having our own life vest that I knew would fit our 1 yr old baby girl. She is top of the charts for height and weight. This life vest is bulky on her. The material is comfortable, but sitting down, it was squishing her cheeks which made her fuss. I love the heavy duty zipper and double snap design. Plus having zero foam in the back helps increase the odds that it will flip her to her back if needed. Well made vest overall. I'm sure it will be less bulky as she gets bigger and stands up.

Cute and Comfortable

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

I bought this life vest for my 10 month old daughter (weighs about 20 pounds) after reading the reviews about its comfort. It did not disappoint! She's an independent walker already, and when I first put it on her, she toppled over and giggled. (The fall protection is like a secret bonus feature!) But after standing her back up a couple of times, she got the hang of it and was running around just as much as usual. We got it for her to wear while boating, and with over an hour and a half on the water, she never complained. In fact, she was so happy, she was bouncing up and down and squealing, so it didn't phase her at all! I can't yet speak to the functionality within the water, but on comfort and wearability, it's an A+.

A couple of things to note: This is a Type II life vest, which means that it is designed to balance functionality and comfort. So it's very bulky, but again, didn't slow down our daughter. Also, my only complaint is that there's not a better color selection. Only blue and pink are offered. We plan on having another child, so we tend to buy everything possible (except clothes) in gender-neutral colors. Given the two options, we chose blue for this (having a girl in blue seems less of an issue than potentially having a boy in pink), but a green would have been nice.

So far, so good!

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2015

Fortunately we did not have to actually use the life vest in the middle of the ocean, but I felt much better sending my granddaughter out in a boat knowing she had this safety measure. The vest fit her perfectly - she is four months old and ten and a half pounds - with good room to grow due to the adjustable straps, etc. It cradled her nicely and was soft against her skin. She did not fuss or squirm while wearing it. It passed the out-of the-water test with flying colors. I will write another comment once we test it in water.

Doesn't work for what it is intended for.

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a nice quality vest. But it does nothing in terms of safety for my 16 month old (about 24lbs). The minute he gets in the water it throws him back and starts to turn him over. He freaks out and we have to pull him out before he goes face first. I'm not sure what companies can do to fix this. It works better with my four year old who can tread water better. I don't think I would even feel comfortable with him wearing this on a boat. If something were to happen I don't think it would save him and i'm not willing to risk it. The floaties that go around the tops of the arms seem to work best for both my kids. Although they are not recommended for his age, they at least help him float while we stand by him.
