The Stearns Classic Series Child Life Vest in red is a Coast Guard approved vest for children weighing 30 to 50 pounds. Flotation is PE foam under a nylon shell. Fit comes from open sides, a crotch strap and three chest belts that adjust. The maker says it is acceptable for personal watercraft or waterskiing.
Our take
Three chest belts plus a crotch strap give this child's vest several points of adjustment, and the open sides leave room to move. It is fitted for 30 to 50 pounds only, so a child outside that range needs a different size.
From our buying guide
US rules count Coast Guard-approved jackets. One approved only to European or ISO standards doesn't meet the US carriage rules, however good it is.
Check before you buy:
- The approval number is on the label, and the jacket fits you as that label marks.
- You're getting the US version, since some jackets are sold in two.
- If it's Level 50, it only counts toward what you must carry when it's worn.
