Can this be used as a life jacket for a 2 year old on a boat?

This jacket was used in conjunction with his swimming lesson. No as a life jacket. Thanks.

The child's hand will go through, but I doubt that it would stay on underwater. If needed, you could modify it, but as is, it would not be effective in keeping the camera attached.

I think it might be dangerous for a 2 yr. old...it is very fast. There is a model for kids age 2 to 5 which would be safer.

Hi, we've done a lot of research and learned that kids' life jackets aren't categorized by types I, II or III. However, we and our swim instructors have tested these jackets for our 2 children (6 and 3) and concluded that the kids are un-sinkable wearing them and the only position for their heads is up above water. They are great. We recently bought a 3rd one for our 1 yo nephew.

Yes, I would not purchase for over two years old. Only suitable for small toddler.

I wouldn't think that would be safe. My 35lb 3 yr old is a little small for this. You need a 5 pt harness for a 2 yr old.

I don't know that I'd have a 2yr old wear this. I had my 4 and 6 year-olds wear these: the 6-yr-old was fine. I put it on my 4-yr-old's ankle because it was too big for his wrist. He played with it constantly and broke it within an hour or 2 - it was then just a straight coiled plastic-thing. I tied it to the back of his pants on his belt loop, where he forgot about it for a while. I'd be concerned a 2-yr-old would get it on his mouth, or play with it a lot and put hands in mouth - BAD idea.

I have a 19 month old that weighs 23lbs. We tried on a friend's Puddle Jumper and it fit a little loose but it still help him float and enjoy himself. Off course, you need to keep a constant eye on your child even with a life vest. I don't think it will fall off, my child is on the slim side and it did not slide off his arms.

Not with any luck. It is a life jacket, it's purpose is to keep you afloat if you are not a good swimmer or if laws wherever you are boating or floating in my case mandate it.

Probably. It's appropriate for my almost 2-year old who is on the small side. Good luck!

I don't think so, it's been a great little float for having the little one next to me in the pool, but I would not trust it for real life saving duty. A determined kid could pretty easily get into a dangerous situation with it.

I bought it for my grandson who was 19lbs and he was two, it is for up to 30lbs. It is a good lifecoat, not sure if the make them any smaller. Hope that helps.

No. It is dangerous. The manufacturers of this product include many warnings about suffication when used improperly. Take a shower when baby is sleeping or playing in her crib. Always hold your baby in the water and always use an infant life vest when near or in the pool, boat, lake, ocean, etc. It is never safe to wear your baby in the water.

Sure could be, but I used it in place of a wet suit and it worked great. No buoyancy, but it kept me warm and sun protected.

Sure my 2 year old granddaughter plays with it, made of hard plastic, jacket is made of clothe

Not at all, it's perfect. My 2 1/2 year old lives it. He should be able to wear it for another year at least. Perfect size and weight for a 2-3 year old.

I bought this jacket about two years ago and it works great. Last year my son jumped off the dock in water over his head. The back part for his head worked perfect keeping his head above water. He was only in the water for a couple of seconds when I used the handle to pull him to safety. To answer your question this jacket fits my son really well but he is four now. At three years old it was a little big on him but still worked great. It is too large for a 11 month old unless they make a smaller version.
