Do you know how to choose the life jacket for kids? We would like to share some tips for you.

Fit is important in keeping a child's head above water, so do not get a too-big PFD thinking he or she will grow into it.

Sizing for a youngster depends on his or her weight (and not chest size, as it does with adults):

Infant PFDs: 8 to 30 pounds

Child PFDs: 30 to 50 pounds

Youth PFDs: 50 to 90 pounds

For infants and small children, a PFD should have a:

Padded head support to help keep the child’s head above water.

Grab handle to assist retrieving the child out of the water.

Crotch strap to help keep the PFD from riding up.

Youth-sized PFDs look like, and have the same features as, adult PFDs. The more straps a PFD has, the more adjustments can be made for sizing.

Tips: purchase misconceptions about children's life jackets 

  1. Some parents believe that a variety of swimming rings are also considered life-saving supplies. Swimming ring is an inflatable water toy, its material and life-saving supplies are completely different, inflatable swimming ring in the sea is easy to be knocked over by the waves or cut by foreign objects leakage, children have a high chance of drowning.
  2. Choose the color fancy, cute life-saving equipment, and do not pay attention to the product material, function, may buy inferior products. Life undershirts should try to choose red, yellow and other brighter colors, because once the wearer inadvertently fall into the water, can make it easier for rescuers to find you.
