Baby Life Jackets

Baby Life Jacket

Baby life jackets are made from foam, hence their similar appearance to buoyancy aids - and are designed for the youngest sailors! The foam life jackets are perfect for inshore use, including watersports and swimming, with their high vis colourways designed to help children clearly stand out whilst in the water. In addition, life jackets like Crewsaver Euro 100N Foam Childrens Life Jacket and Marinepool ISO Freedom Faom 100N Life Jacket have added designs across the front, making the life jacket more attractive to children.

A key difference between a baby life jacket and an adult life jacket or adult buoyancy aid is the padding behind the head, which keeps the baby's head up and their airways clear of any water ingress. This also offers any protection against any knocks. When the child reaches around the age of 10-11, or will have the awareness to pull the manual backup toggle in the extremely rare event that the life jacket fails to inflate, it's worth upgrading to a junior life jacket.
