Child and Baby Life Jackets really are available for babies as well as for infants and juniors.
Please read the information below to help you determine the right model for your child or baby.
Selecting the correct model
Life jackets are recommended for children as they are designed to turn the wearer face up to prevent drowning should they fall in the water unconscious. Buoyancy aids will only keep the wearer afloat.
Choosing the correct size
Buoyancy aids and life jackets must fit properly! It is especially important that children's
life jackets are not bought so that they will grow in to them. Correct fit is
more important than weight class. For example, a person of, say, 73 kg should
select a 50-70 kg buoyancy aid if it is a better fit.
