The best floatation device for infants and children are Coast Guard approved life jackets! Life jackets allow children full range of motion - therefore allowing them to practice everything they’ve been learning in swim lessons. It also allows them to swim correctly, roll onto their backs, and keeps them in a safe upright position in the water, rather than in the drowning position. For infant and toddler life jackets, when a child falls into the water the life jacket will actually turn them to their back and a head support will pop up, allowing them to safely float on their back to breath. If your life jacket is Coast Guard approved, their approval stamp will be printed on the inside of the vest.
