Is this vest coast guard approved?

It does NOT keep the child afloat. It is specifically designed to help the child be more buoyant and develop comfort with the water.

Im 6'1" 200lbs man, the belt on it reaches where a normal belt would fit on your pants. whould it protect from a cow or bull? uhhh no. this is a tactical mounting vest, made to mount pouches and equipment on it, not to protect from blows. despite the hollywood looks, its not a "bulletproof" vest. search surplus stores or google for flak jackets. old vietnam era flaks are heavier and are thickly padded.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with the Petflect Vest, so can't compare them. We are very happy with out SafetyPup XD vest. It has not shown any signs of wear thus far.

YES! you can actually, here on amazon, on another page this same vest is offered in 4 different colors. http://smile.amazon.com/UTG-PVC-VEST-Tactical-Vest/dp/B001WJ4QPI/ref=pd_sim_sg_28?ie=UTF8&refRID=1K33YNCJQH1YSZNTJRAS though for an uplifted cost it seems.

I'm not sure. The Vest only gives the manufacture date of 2005 March: Model AO10000LGB.

Don't remember. Been since last summer since it's been worn. I do know that you ussually need a size bigger than you would think. If your child weighs 30-40 lbs, odds are it will be tight fit or maybe not fit at all. I chose by reading other reviews. People complained that their child didn't fit in vest by using their size chart. Needed bigger size or would only fit for one summer.

The vest is made of a mixture of nylon and cordura. There is also a mesh and velcro on the vest as well.

Not on the vest. I used the vest on safari in South Africa, and was very happy with it. No problems!

Yes, the vest has a neoprene waist and velcro across the entire width. This will certainly appear "smaller" on you than on me (I am 5'4" and 130lbs.), but it will do the job of putting 10 pound of well distributed weight on your chest and back. (I have four of these now, each on stationed in a city I visit frequently. For me it really is that good.)

My answer would be yes. It is VERY CHEAP. You can literally make a cardboard chestplate and it'll be stronger than the vest.it's flimsy.

My original review was for a Moby wrap. It looks like my review has been applied to a product I did not buy! This looks to be a vest, not a wrap.

Absolutely! This is one of the few vests that has flotation material under the dogs chest which helps keep their head above water. Just make sure you get the appropriate size for your dog.

This website: http://www.stearnsflotation.com/Puddle-Jumperreg-Deluxe-Kids-Life-Jacket-Elephant-P56.aspx#.U4P57mFOXIU states "Each Puddle Jumper® PFD is US Coast Guard-approved when worn on boats and can be used as a learn-to-swim aid." This website: http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg5214/pfdselection.asp states the three types.

No this is a standard type of load bearing vest that is some what generic in nature. If you buy you will need to tweak the vest to make it fit. Still a good deal though. But in stalling plates is not an option.

The vest has no ANSI label, so it probably has no rating. Also, the fabric is a very lightweight mesh which I would not recommend for extended use in a rough-service environment.

My boys wore this vest with and also without a swimshirt with no problem. The vest has a "tail" that goes between the legs which keeps it in place.
