The Stearns Infant Life Vest is specifically designed for children weighing less than 50 pounds. This infant life jacket is approved by the US Coast Guard and is characterized by a built-in handle on its collar. The presence of two encircling belts ensures security and protection for infants. The heads up life vest uses a rounded floatation collar for added neck and head support as well as a grab strap for quick retrieval in emergency situations. The nylon life vest comes in a variety of themes, styles and colors and serves well for your little boy or girl. The Stearns life vest features a durable crosstech floatation foam and strong nylon shell. It comes with a mesh back that provides better ventilation. A zippered front closure ensures a snug fit.
Stearns Infant Life Vest:Not a problem with the vest, but a problem of the description given. This life vest is only rated for children UNDER 30 POUNDS, not 50 as listed!! Because of this, I couldn't use the vest for my 32lb 2-yr old and preferred not to keep it for my infant to use down the road because at this sized rating I feel the zip-up ones are a little more secure for smaller children (and often less bulky). Aggravated by the mistake of the description, but the lady at the local store's return counter was nice and reimbursed me for my shipping costs because of the mistake.
