So it is the season for water sports but it is important not to forget your little crew members when purchasing personal flotation devices, or PFDs. I was out sailing the other day and looked over at a powerboat. The family had a toddler and an infant, neither of which had appropriately fitted PFDs. There was no PFD for the infant! There are a number of infant sized PFDs on the market and any marine store can help you select the right one. Here are a few great choices:
I love this Canadian store
Mountain Baby, a store for outdoor families. They carry the
Salus Bijoux Baby Life Jacket for infants 9-25lbs, priced at $79.94CAD
On the budget end, the
Overton's Infant Flotation Device does the job nicely at only $19.95 and comes in three fun and bright colors.
If you plan on going out to sea, please make sure you investigate the thermal life jackets. This
Ocean Safety Thermo Baby Life Jacket retails for £69.95 and includes a safety clip to hook the infant to an adult.
