Life jacket?

kbl13 · August 2013

Please recommend a good infant life jacket. We will be visiting DH's parents in a week and will want to go out on their boat. I hate to spend a lot on something we will use once, but I'm definitely not taking B out on the water without one. Thanks!

I got this one, a "Stearns" at Walmart in Canada for $18.88.
I saw someone (not sure which board) post about a "Speedo" brand for $29.99 USD at Target.

This is infant size, which is 20-30 lbs, which seems to be the smallest I can find.

We haven't used it yet as we are going camping at a lake next week. I don't plan to let my hands off LO, but if it's wavy then at least he'll stay afloat.

We have the one on the left and use it all the time, it's great. You can get it at a west marine store.

We have an infant one that my mother bought DH as a shower present. Its Dora and it looks similar to the west marine one.

DD looks like a stuffed sausage in it, her little body is tiny, but its snug, so I feel safe with her in it.

This is DD is hers. She is standing in my lap. When she sits she gets squished up.

We got ours from Overton online. It was like $20 with free shipping. We had the ones that were more of a vest but E would cry and fuss with it on.

We went to a sporting goods store and bought Porters. I think it was about $30. I ink his is made by Body Glove

@SurpriseAt39 That was strange.. I saw the pic you posted, i clicked 'yes' when it asked if your response answered my question, then the pic was gone

SurpriseAt39 · August 2013

@kbl13 Ya, I saw it yesterday (I think) after you clicked 'answered' but now it's gone...from both posts. Maybe it's a glitch when posting from mobile? Oh well...you saw it. That's what matters.
