Can anyone recommend a swim vest or flotation swimsuit for my 15mo?

I'm getting my 18 month old DD a puddle jumper. She's going to be on the small end for it so not sure I it would work for your 15 m.o. But it gets grey reviews so you might try it. They are sold all over.

This is what we got for DS to use this summer.

We used the stearns heads-up vest and also the drop-in thing where they sit. The puddle jumper worked better for older ones, IMO.

ds loves the puddle jumper...we started with it about a month ago. he is 17 months now, but still needs a hand close by.

eta: we use it for the pool only. for the boat and lake, we use the these

super soft life jackets. ds will still be too small for the XS this year, so he will still use an infant life jacket.

We started with the Extrasport jacket with grab loop when DD was smaller, this year she's moved up to the NRS Crew child jacket. We take her out on the boat, canoeing, & on whitewater.

For the pool, beach just a puddle jumper worked great.
