One Can Never Be Too Safe Near Water! By Geralyn Hydock on - Updated Oct 15, 2011

One can never be too careful when children are in the vicinity of water. It is up to we as parents to protect our children and this Stearn's Heads Up Life Vest helps to keep them safe, secure, and comfortable at the same time. I know it has given my husband and I peace of mind when our grandson spends time with us at the beach or lake. It is very comfortable therefore he does not mind wearing it.

This lifevest is rated for thirty to fifty pounds. There is an adjustable belt, leg strap, and zipper front closure. The inside is ocnstructed out of durable cross stitch flotation foam. A grab strap is conveniently located on the rounded flotation collar that provides added head and neck support for added security. The vest is available in a wide variety of colors and fancy patterns.

We are really pleased with this product and feel confident that it provides safety for ourlittle grandson when he is enjoying playing in the lake or at the beach. Do not take chances, add a life vest to your child's wardrobe, you will not regret it!

Geri, you sound like me. My son wore one of those swim suits with the built in floatation until he was 6 or 7! Then my husband and son over-ruled me:0( Just can't be too safe, right?

I am pretty sure my son had one just like this. It is an important product in or near the water :)

Every year on the Sacramento River, children lose their lives in our swirling rapid current waters. Many of them could have been saved by wearing a life vest like this. Just a few dollars can protect the most important asset we have: our children.

Sounds like a great vest and a great piece of mind. I always worry about our grandson around our pool. Last year my husband & I were cleaning the pool from the outside and he got up on the deck and jumped in. We both jumped in after him with our clothes on. He was perfectly fine, but very scary when it happened!

We have a pool and life jackets are a rule for all the little ones when they come over or we have a party with lots of people using the pool. We also make sure each parent knows they are responsible for watching their children otherwise they are not allowed in the water. It's not only the beach and lakes that can be dangerous for kids. Thanks for sharing!!

My kids always wore life jackets around our pool. They not only kept them safe but they helped to prevent sunburns as well.

so true can never be to careful, Out of 3 kids 2 of them have jumped in the deep end of a pool , ( one time was at disney my daughter was back from a park going to the hotel and figured she wanted to be mermaid so she jumped in the pool, she was only 2) . Scares me to death anymore when we are around water.
