Retrospec Bobbin’ Life Vest for Kids, Lightweight, Durable Coast Guard Approved Life Vests for Kids, Youth and Infants 30-90 lbs

These were perfect for my girls to use while kayaking! Fits true to size and holds up very well!

My daughter was pleased with the quality, fit and safety of the vest. My grandson has room for growth. The value of the vest was great also.

I misunderstood the description because it doesn’t change when you choose a different sizing. When clicked on the child size it says fits 50-90 lbs but when it arrived the size says 70lbs. Fits my 9 year old snug but she is tiny , 60lbs. I’m guessing the youth size is what goes up to 90lbs but that was unclear. It will work for this summer but unfortunately I will have to size up next summer

Bought this for my daughter as she had outgrown her previous life jacket. This one fits well and is well constructed. Has the standard buckles you would expect in a life jacket. Not much more to say. It just works.

It said one size 50-90 that would have worked. but what came was smaller 40-70.

I wasnt too confident in this purchase. The quality was not the most durable.

This vest is extremely high quality. You do not want to mess around when it comes to safety and skimp out on a life jacket. This is an actual life saving vest/flotation device. It fits my son perfectly and was completely adjustable. It was great for a day out on the boat. It is extremely lightweight and comfortable, as my son didn't seem to mind having it on for an extended period of time. So happy with the quality of this vest.

Excited to select and receive?Yes, I was.Bad startI got off to a bad start with this.Excited to select and receive?Yes, I was excited to select this and similarly so when it arrived.When opened.I was still excited when I opened this, however, after reading the thick tags attached, grew significantly disappointed.Why?Because the attached thick paper labels, which would have added to this, for gifting purposes, clearly contained a, [in a nutshell], a California Proposition 65 type warning [“Prop 65”]. Wow was I disappointed.Listing?I searched the listing, nowhere was there any reference, in the listing, that this had a [Prop 65] type warning.Made of?The listing noted the material was polyethylene (pe). Is that what generated the [Prop 65] warning? If not, what?I appreciate the warning, but.However, the listing should have made clear of the existence of this warning and possible exposure to using this. Did it? I looked long and hard, I saw nothing – August 2024.The question presented.So, the question is, what child do I give this to wear? I really do not want to expose others to this. This warning is a big negative for me and my choice to decide whether to select this was taken away by “not” noting this in the listing.How did this arrive?Within a clear, tape sealed, non-retail type plastic bTrue to sizing?I say yes.True to weight?Hmmm, the listing noted 50 – 90 pounds, however, the vest noted >55 – 88 pounds, that’s a bit of a difference.Brand?Retrospec, I am not familiar with this brand.Durability?So far, excellent, nothing fell apart, and this did its job with no complaints from me.Weight?I found it weighed-in at about (290) grams.Do I like this?Yes, but not that Prop 65 warning. The clips are a tad of a struggle to release, but I am okay with this, and it adjusts perfectly.Easy to use?Yes, as noted above too.Care?Allowing this to properly air dry.Important certifications?Yes, this has them.There are?USCG & Transport Canada Approved – Level 70 lifejacket. But a very important one (1) for me is that this is UL certified.Biggest surprise negatives?That Prop 65 warning, I am old enough to decide, whether to use this, prior to selecting. By taking such away, it took my personal choice away. Then the weight class being heavier than what the listing noted.Biggest surprise positivesUL certification and nice retail tags attached.ValueThat Prop 65 warning really took away significant value, for me, otherwise, the price is competitive.Country of origin?Made in China.Is this perfect?Hmm, I would rate this five (5) stars, before that [Prop 65] warning, which takes them, in my mind, to a three (3). It would have been a two (2) but for at least they did warn, but that warning should have been blatantly visible in the listing. Also supporting this were the important certifications.I hope my thoughts helped add some information.
