GNAR - Youth

We bought this life jacket last summer and it has held up perfectly. We used it for my son when he was 10 months old, and this summer before he turned two. It fit him at both ages, and was secure and comfortable. We spend our summers at our lake house, and we felt safe having him in it anytime he was on or near the water.

Fits 25 pounds baby well. She seems comfy enough. Construction is good. Colors are holding up.

This baby life jacket gives me so much peace of mind. It fits snugly but comfortably, and the straps are easy to adjust for a secure fit. The material feels high quality and doesn’t rub or irritate my baby’s skin. What really impressed me is that my little one doesn’t fuss while wearing it — a big win! It keeps them upright and supported in the water, and the head support works perfectly. We’ve used it for boat rides and pool days, and I’ll definitely buy the next size up when needed. Highly recommend for safety and comfort!

I just added two each of the Infant, Child and Youth size PFDs to use on a commercial tour boat, in addition to the USCG requirement for commercial boats to carry Type I Offshore PFDs for all passengers. In Florida, children nunder 6 are required to wear a Type I,II or III PFD at all times when underway and Infants are required to wear a Type I or II. And dependant on distance offshore, children under 13 are also required to wear PFDs. The Type I Offshore jackets are a USCG minimum requirement, for commercial vessels to carry, for all passengers on board and of an appropriate size. However, as long as Type I PFDs are on board, additional Type II, III or IV PFDs may be carried and worn instead. Type I PFDs are not very comfortable to wear for any length of time for those required to wear one, and we know how fussy those under 6 and especially under 3 can be. Rather than have charter guests provide their own for thker children, I ordered these as a more comfortable option and solution for use whole on the boat or playing in the water. They were immediately put into service after receipt and the kids loved wearing them. The gende neutral graphic design and color pattern, make this ideal for for families with both multiple children, a mix of boys and girls this universal and matching design among sizes is both professional looking and gives the kids have one less thing they could fight about while spending otherwise fun family time together on the water. After swimming, they clean up easily and dry fairly quick while in the sun. Overall a great pick for both recreational use and in commercial use if in addition to carrying the required Type I Offshore.

This vest was the perfect choice. The colors are striking and easy to spot. The material, fit, zipper, and buckles are of excellent quality. Size was spot on with room for growth. We are 100% satisfied with this vest's buoyancy, security, and comfort. My granddaughter felt confident as she moved freely in the water or on the big pull behind rafts. It is quick-drying and super soft!

Great Vest, love these compared to the standard ones, neoprene is much better a sit is slimmer better fitting and more comfortable. Zipper is good heavy duty but size does run smaller than it should so order larger.

Great quality and true Coast Guard Approved PFD/life jacket, which means it meets all Coast Guard requirements for boating to just floating. Albeit, we purchased for our son to just wear in the pool, i could tell when I unpackaged it, that it was good quality and built for more. The fit, design and flotation were perfect for what we expected.

The life jackets of my youth are horrendous compared to this — is comfortable for my infant and the colors would be easy to spot in the water

Allows for great arm movement
