USCG-APPROVED LIFE VESTS
ENHANCE SAFETY AND PEACE-OF-MIND AROUND THE POOL OR LAKE
Approved the U.S. Coast Guard, our life vest allows your child to be in the water and feel safe and secure. The vest features a unique head float design that cushions and protects your child’s head, keeping it above water. The vest is also designed to promote back floating, further insuring safety in the pool or in open water.
We offer our life vest in three different sizes corresponding to your child’s weight. All three vests are constructed of marine-grade nylon and forever-buoyant foam. We’ve also added quick-release adjustable straps for extra comfort and safety.
Give your child the feeling of security this season with our USGC-approved life vests. UL Listed.
