LIFE JACKET SAFETY…

It is extremely important that your child’s safety take priority at all times. Regardless of boating regulations in your area, life jackets are always a good idea. Please make sure to purchase a life jacket that fits your child well, but is still comfortable, and most importantly, make sure the jacket you purchase will float your child face up even if he or she is incapacitated.  Similarly, read the label on each of the jackets you are considering to make sure each one is an approved flotation device before purchasing.

      Very good question Trisha. You need to look for a life jacket that is the appropriate size for you or your child and one that will float face up upon contact with the water.
