Is it a good idea to take my infant boating?
Friday, Sep. 17th 2010 6:12 AM
It is not advised to take a baby boating before they are at least six months old and they can sit up on their own. Also, babies will not be comfortable in a life jacket when they cannot sit up. A reclined infant in a life jacket will experience great discomfort from the poor fit of most infant life jackets. Once they can sit up, some of the pressure around the neck of the life jacket will be relieved.
