Our Favorite Things: The Stearns Puddle Jumper Life Jacket

by Angela on July 20, 2010

I am so excited to share the next installment of our favorite things (see previous Favorite Things here) for two reasons:

1. Love this life jacket. It’s genius. Kids tend to strongly dislike vest life jackets as they are difficult to swim in and ride up while they are in the water. The Stearns Puddle Jumper Life Jacket solves the problem. Kids have so much more mobility in this jacket. And it’s Coast Guard approved, so it is a life saving device.

They are available right now at Target for around $17 or Amazon for $14.99 with FREE Super Saver Shipping.

2. I created my first vlog! My husband and I spent a few hours researching, downloading, uploading, embedding, blah, blah, blah and viola! A video! It’s not bad for a first try.

Check out our two-year old working his new Puddle Jumper Life Jacket. And notice how quickly he jumps in the water when bribed.

Now we just need a bit more sun so we can get more use out of our new life jackets!

I got one for my almost two year old this summer….and they work! She was at the lake with grandma and in an instant fell in the water. Jacket immediately turned her face side up until her brother could get to her. I found mine at Walmart for about $15 (Coast Guard approved)!
