Are life jackets for kids suitable for swimming lessons?
While children’s life jackets are excellent for water safety, they are not typically used for formal swim lessons. For swim training, consider using kids' swim training aids like swim vests or arm floaties that allow more freedom of movement.
How do I choose the right life jacket size for my child?
Choosing the correct size is essential for safety. Life jackets are sized by weight range:
*A toddler life jacket (20-30 lbs) is designed for young children needing extra head support.
*A child life jacket (50-90 lbs) fits older kids with more active water needs.
Always check product size charts for a snug but comfortable fit.
What is the difference between kids’ life jackets and swim vests?
A kids’ life jacket is designed to provide strong flotation support and keep your child afloat in various water activities. It offers a secure, snug fit and is ideal for safety during boating, paddleboarding, or open water play. While a swim vest is a swim training aid that helps children gain water confidence when learning to swim but offers less flotation than a life jacket.
When should my child wear a life jacket?
Your child should wear a kids life jacket during activities like boating, paddle sports, kayaking, and playing in deeper water where flotation support is needed. For casual pool play or beginner swim practice, alternatives like kids’ swim floaties might be more appropriate.
