Can I get a life jacket to fit my baby?
Thursday, Sep. 16th 2010 6:12 AM
Life jackets for infants come in one size to fit a child up to 30 pounds. They should have a head support collar and safety crotch strap. These life jackets can be found at all the same places that carry life jackets for bigger children and adults-department stores, marine supply stores and on the Internet. Many life jacket sources only carry life jackets seasonally, but marine supply stores and Internet suppliers will carry them year-round.
