Is your little one 2 years old and do they love splashing around in the water? Then our swim vest 2 years is exactly what you are looking for. This swim vest is designed for children aged 2 to 3 years and fits from approximately 15 kg, up to 19 kg. That means your child gets safety and comfort in the water right away, and can keep using the same vest for another full year. Because the foam spreads the buoyancy across the chest and back, your toddler stays in a stable position while their arms remain completely free to move, paddle and practise. Looking for a different size? Explore our swim vests for every age:
Weight is the most important factor when you choose a swim vest. Age is a helpful guideline, but every child grows at their own pace. The swim vest 2 years covers 15 to 19 kg, which fits most children between 2 and 3 years old. Body shape counts as well: at the same weight, a child with a slimmer build may need a different size than a child with a broader build. Is your two-year-old still under 15 kg? Then our swim vest 1 year is the better fit for now, although do bear in mind that the 1 to 2 years size runs small. Once your child passes 19 kg, our swim vest 3 years takes over, covering 19 to 30 kg. Prefer a different kind of support? Our arm bands are worn around the upper arms and come in two sizes: up to 15 kg for approximately 0 to 2 years, and 15 to 30 kg for approximately 2 to 6 years. Our puddle jumpers combine arm bands with a chest piece and are made for children from 15 to 30 kg.
How the swim vest should fit
A good swim vest sits snugly without restricting your child. It should never feel tight, but it also should not be so loose that it rides up the moment your toddler gets into the water. Close the safety zip fully, fasten the safety strap between the legs, and check the fit before every water adventure. Remember that a swim vest offers extra support but is not a life jacket. It never replaces swimming skills or adult supervision, so stay close and within arm's reach of your two-year-old at all times.
