We've been around the block with PFD's in our parent 'hood and we're letting you know how much we loved these Puddle Jumpers! The pool, the beach the lake. Our Puddle Jumpers went everywhere with us and now we're telling you about them! We love swim lessons and certainly encourage you to enroll your child in classes so that they learn a life saving skill. However when pressed, we too use floatation devices and stumbled across these this summer!
Puddle Jumpers!
Did you know that traditional plastic floaties are not safe?
They offer a false sense of security, can easily slip off or even deflate. Yikes! While many of us were "raised" on floaties-- perhaps it's time to re-think this system. Do your research if anything!
We researched and found out that our Puddle Jumpers offer the following features:
Coast Guard Approved, Type III Performance
For children 30-50 lbs.
Superior Stability and Confidence
Woven polyester Softer Fabric, Less Chafing
The best part? No riding up on their little necks like a life jacket does! It's a one piece system that clips in the back and is adjustable.
It also comes in cute designs but the cute factor aside these Puddle Jumpers kept our kiddos safe:
At the pool.
At the Lake.
At the Beach.
Mac Kid Approved!
We found ours at Target and Kmart. You can also order them online.
As always, vigilant parenting is essential to summer safety. Floatation devices of any sort do not replace good parenting!
Never leave your children unattended near a pool or water for even a moment. It happens all too quickly and without warning.
