Downsides: The sleeves might be tight for some kids -- dry sleeves and sunblock or any oil/lotion applied immediately before sliding on helps (wet sleeves are really difficult, so don't take it off after getting wet unless you're pretty sure about it staying off). Also, they kind of hold water for a while... Like a half cup or somewhat more. Takes them about 20 minutes to mostly drain; they'll still be damp or harbor a small pocket of water still. So, make sure you have time to drain or a watertight bag to put them in for transport. Also, the only swimming that can be taught are pretty much just doggy paddle and floating on one's back, but most kids will be too young to do anything else anyway.
It dries out quickly so it won't leave a puddle in your car. It is also durable, as we really haven't done anything but wear it and throw it in the pool bag when we are done. With all of that said, I have noticed that this is not the same as a life vest, it wont keep him bobbing like a cork in the water. Instead it is more like a boost to keep him upright and above water while he actively kicks and treads water. It will definitely help bounce him up out of the water when he jumps in, but I don't think it is comparable to a full life vest that you would use on a lake. Great for the pool though!
First things first, if you're looking for a floatation device that will 100% keep your child safe in water then this is not the best choice for you and I'd advise you to buy another product. This product is designed to assist children who are already somewhat competent in water to float. This product is not meant to replace water confidence (i.e. a child that has received swim lessons) and you most certainly do not want to leave a child unattended in any way while they're in the water. Also, this product is not designed to hold a child's head out of the water on its own.
Both of my children receive swim lessons and my wife and I were merely looking for a swim aid that would allow them to enjoy the pool (at our resort) for longer periods of time. In that use, this product is absolutely perfect!
This puddle jumper is designed for kids between 30-50lbs. My youngest comes in just barely over 30lbs and my oldest about 42lbs and the puddle jumpers worked well for both of them. The jumpers go on easily and simply slip onto the arms and are secured in the back with a locking plastic clip. A nylon strap keeps the puddle jumpers snug and can be easily adjusted for different sized children. My wife and I both found the puddle jumpers extremely easy to use and to get on/off the kids. My kids didn't seem to mind at all having these on and for novice swimmers it gave them a bit of a buoyancy and confidence boost. Both my kids were zipping around the pool (with plenty of adult supervision) and having a great time.
This is definitely a product I recommend. However, keep in mind your child's water familiarity and abilities before ordering.

Wonderful fit and keeps my daughter on the water independently. She loves to move around with it and do her kicks and she has no Dear of deep water.
I am finly hands free but still in arm reach of her in case she needs me .
I am super happy with this purchase and toy recommend it to parents with similar age children.
