Overview
Designed for young children who need a simple, secure flotation option on the water, this vest combines adjustable belts, a chest strap, and a leg strap for added stability. Its lightweight flotation foam keeps the profile manageable while still providing the coverage expected from a U.S. Coast Guard Approved Type III PFD. Sized for children weighing 30 to 50 pounds with a 20" to 25" chest, it is suited to boating and other general on-water activities where dependable wearability matters. The bright yellow color also helps with visibility in typical outdoor settings.
