Find Best Price at Amazon"He's 10 months-old today, weighing about 8.5 kg/ 19 lbs and has decided that he is too big for a baby floatie ring."
"I bought this product based on seeing a friend throw a 3 year old into the deep end of a swimming pool while wearing this."
"My son has been in the water at a very early age and wants freedom so that is why I purchased this even though it's technically a little big on him. It is important with relying on any floatation device to know what your child is capable of AND you never leave them unattended by water. My son did not like it at first but we made him feel comfortable and honestly at his age and with his determination it's the only way he can be in our pool at the moment. I purchased this 3 months ago and with regular use and exposed to hot sun drying it has begun fading and the design is coming off."
"These floaties make her a lot more independent in the pool, which she loves."
"They're easy to put on, my kids (both with sensory processing disorder) don't fight with me when I tell them they have to wear them, and it provides major peace of mind with a child that doesn't know how to swim yet."
"Obviously nothing is a replacement for vigilantly watching children around water but these make it possible for me to introduce my kids safely to the water."
"She's just learning to swim this year and it gives her the confidence to stay in the pool and not clinging to one of us for dear life."

The zips work well, it has a handy carry handle and a great couple of loops on the back to strap it to a bag etc. Big enough that I feel confident heading off for a few days camping but small enough to stuff into backpack pockets etc."
"As a first responder i normally pack my own kits, however i liked that this had integrated labels for everything. When I received this, i carefully went through each and every item expecting the usual (cheapest item available) sort of thing."
"Additionally, I love how the small first aid kit is subdivided into niches inside the case allowing for easier access and quick recognition of the internal contents."
"Fortunately, an emergency need to use the kit has not happened."
"I would imagine it will be perfect for my backpacking adventures and overnight paddles."
"I especially like the fact that even though the pack itself is not water proof the send you everything inside wrapped in individual bags."
"I haven’t had to use anything in this kit yet, but it’s a very well-put together kit from my first impression."
"I purchased this First Aid Kit to give to my son at Christmas."
Featuring a colorful, kid-friendly design, the Stearns Puddle Jumper Deluxe Child Life Jacket is a great way to help children play safely and have fun in the water. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.

"She always wants to swim in the deep end of the pool with the big kids. Our daughter loves her new found freedom of swimming and we feel safer with her in the deep end."
"This jacket is listed to fit 30-50# child."
"My parents bought my 2 year old this even though she was only 27 pounds and I was a little worried about it, but it works SO good."
"This is a really nice design because it doesn't ride up around her neck and it allows her to practice moving her arms and legs in the water."
"Very satisfied with it, however, if your child's a bit unsturdy and tips over backwards, it doesn't flip them over quickly."
"Now I have to look for a new life jacket/ flotation device that isn't bulky, but made for a larger child."
"He can be pretty quick to get away from me, but when he wears this, I don't have to worry about him jumping off a step or running in the baby pool and tripping, which makes me a very happy mama."
Best Boat Safety Bells
This is a beautiful set of two dozen brass bells in six assorted designs measuring about 2" high. Each bells has a hole on the top for tying a thread or a rope or wire.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Each one is high quality, nice brass polished casting, and each one actually rang!"
"Very nice quality and quantity for the money!"
"The hooks are a bit large which does slightly detract from the look of the bell, but overall a good product for the price."
"These are great little bells!"
"Worked perfectly for my rain chain."
"Fair for the money."
"The color, design, material, and ring tone of the bells are unique and invite the holder to think of another time and place. After having this happened I read more reviews and found that missing bells is not unusual and that is a shame. There is a duty of the supplier to provide packaging that will withstand handling by Amazon but, I also expect Amazon to make sure what they place in the shipping bag to be in one piece and the piece fully accounted for."
Best Boat Safety EPIRBs
Weighing just 4.6 oz and topping just 3.9 inches the lightweight ResQLink distress beacon is smaller than a mobile phone. Registering is very important because should your beacon ever be activated, it is how Search and Rescue Teams will know who you are, and contacts provided may be able to supply information about your specific travel plans. Whilst it will function anywhere around the world, the initial point of contact during an emergency situation would be the US Search and Rescue authorities. Whilst it will function anywhere in the world, the initial point of contact during an emergency situation would be the US Search and Rescue authorities with whom the PLB would be registered.

"I have had several ACR PLB's over the years and they just keep getting better in terms of size and ease of use."
"I'm no Evel Knevel or other dare devil but I understand stuff can happen regardless of the best planning and preparation."
"I have been fortunate enough to never have used my PLB but if it works as described it has to be a great safety device for people that do a lot of back-country camping."
"Been wanting one of these for years."
"I will take it with me on off road motorcycle trips as well as flying in my buddies light airplane."
"No way to know for sure due to the nature of the beast and why one buys an ememrgency locator beacon - No harm no use."
"I haven't had to use it thankfully, but the item arrived in great shape and is exactly as described."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The one thing I made certain of before opening the package was to determine it was an acceptable USCG approved emergency device. Having confirmed that, I am very comfortable putting this distress light into a Plano 131252 waterproof box with the included daytime flag. Yes, I was still debating the cost before purchase, but once taking the bite, it was well worth it."
"Product as advertised."
"Bought it on Amazon, came fast, and is simple to operate, high quality, durable. I'll probably end up buying another for the dingy, since the odds of getting in trouble in a small craft are probably greater. Do you really want your guests or kids trying to figure our how to use pyrotechnics on your flammable boat in an emergency while you are concentrating on fixing the disaster or operating the craft?"
"I bought this light as a replacement for the pyrotechnics that need replacement every 42 months."
"Very bright light."
"Way better than having flares and worrying about keeping them dry."
"Nice piece of equipment, and so nice to not have to keep buying flares."
"Great option for a Charter Boat!"

"Fun colors and a long rope comes with it."
"2 years ago I bought 4 of them for vacation rental pools - they are hanging on the wall not to be used as a toy so they were not in the water."
"This looks like a good, serviceable safety pool buoy for our pool."
"Nice décor for the pool and can also be a life saver."
"These (I bought 2) really provided a nautical atmosphere for our pool area."
"I live in Las Vegas and bought this as a pool-side safety device for my guests."
"Certainly would not work as a throwable life ring."
