Child Life Jackets - How To Make The Right Choice

As conscientious parents child life jackets are vital. Even when working on the boat when tied up in the marina. With boats arriving and leaving, ropes tying boats up etc, you don't want to take the risk. Because kids grow at different rates you can't determine the size of the vest required. Supposing your three year old has had a big growth spurt and is physically more like your neighbor's five year old. If the size guide says three years and up, then it won't be acceptable. Go by weight for children.

Kids up to sixteen should not use gas powered flotation vests. As they are not physically up to the strain of the gas canister filling the vest. It is a sharp, powerful event after the adult is in the water. Kids get the same amount of support and buoyancy from foam vests. This material is light, dries easily and for easy visibility - bright orange!
