Summer is a fantastic season for our family, especially for my little kids. They can go to the water park, beach or just play water at our backyard. Since my girl is 5 years old, I decided to let her to learn some swimming skills to keep her safe when playing water. She goes to the swimming class once a week but it’s not enough for a beginner. So I took her to our local swimming pool to teach her swimming. Sometimes it’s hard for me to teach her because she is too nervous to swim on her own.
Fortunately, I was sent Stearns 3D Puddle Jumper for review. I was impressed by its design and lovely color when I received it. It’s blue with a sea turtle printed on it.
Stearns is an associated brand of Coleman. This 3D puddle jumper is durable, safe, and attractive. The 3D animal character makes it appear like a big stuffed toy. It is made of woven polyester, which is a soft but durable kind of fabric. Because it is soft, it does not cause chaffing on my daughter’s skin.
The 3D puddle jumper is worn like an upper garment, thus, allowing my daughter to move freely in the water, without the jumper riding up her neck, which is what happened when she wore a life jacket. The animal character makes it more fun to swim wearing the jumper.
The puddle jumper is fastened and secured using a belt with easy-to-adjust buckles. The buckles lock securely, preventing the jumper from loosening while your child is in the water. The jumper is flexible and it could be easily packed for trips to the pool or the beach. It uses foam as flotation device and it is good for children weighing 30 to 50 pounds.
After swimming in her jumper puddle for several times, my daughter was already confident enough to go into the water without it. But of course, I still preferred her to wear one for every time she is in the water for her own safety. The blue Stearns 3D Puddle Jumper I got was still in excellent condition after it had been used for several weekends. I’m sure my daughter would still be able to use it next summer.
Besides its great performance, 3D Stearns Puddle Jumper is also reasonably priced and there are several retail stores that sell it. You can also order the item online. For your child’s safety while swimming, let him/her use the Stearns 3D Puddle Jumper.
With my daughter wearing Stearns 3D Jumper, I feel at ease and I can enjoy swimming because I am sure that she is safe in her swimming device.
