Flotation Device for Youngster

Advice
#1

Can someone suggest a PFD for my six year old son?



Thanks

#2

No specific suggestion except for
getting one with crotch straps for a boy that size. With crotch straps in place, the pfd needn’t be so tight as to make him uncomfortable.

Flotation Collar and grab loop

In addition to crotch strap look for a good quality PFD with a flotation collar and grab loop on the back of the collar. Make sure it is comfortable to wear. If your child is a very strong swimmer you can soon skip the collar type PFD.

Something like this ....

Get a Type II…
…if he’s NOT a strong swimmer.
