{"title":"Puddle Jumper","description":"\u003cp\u003ePuddle Jumper makes swim vests for children who are still finding their feet in the water, built around comfort, movement and a good dose of fun. Rather than a stiff, restrictive fit, the range is designed to sit easily on a small body, leaving arms and legs free enough to paddle, kick and explore during play at the pool, beach or dam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe focus throughout is on wearability: an adjustable fit that stays put, materials chosen to cope with regular rinsing and sun, and prints and colours that make putting on a swim vest feel like part of the fun rather than a chore.
