Life jackets for children

(15 products)

Children's life jackets offer reliable protection and are specifically tailored to children's weight, build, and behavior. Whether a low-maintenance solid life jacket or an automatic version with high safety, a comfortable fit and appropriate buoyancy are important. For maximum safety, your child should be accustomed to the life jacket from an early age.

  • The right life jacket for your child

    Child life jackets are essential protection for the safety of the little ones on board and are among the most important boating accessories. There are basically two types of child life jackets: rigid and automatic. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. When purchasing a child life jacket, you should ensure that the jacket is both safe and comfortable for your child.

  • Important factors when choosing a child life jacket

    The child's body weight is a key factor in choosing the right life jacket. Clothing the child is wearing, such as diapers or thick clothing, should also be considered, as these can affect the required buoyancy.

    Good to know: Life jackets with a buoyancy of 150 Newtons (N) or more offer optimal protection and are considered particularly safe.

  • Solid life jackets for children

    Solid life jackets are characterized by their robustness and low maintenance. They are easy to store and are ideal for children in waters where they cannot stand. A solid life jacket or a buoyancy aid with sufficient buoyancy should always be mandatory for children in such situations.

  • Children's life jackets with automatic release

    Automatic life jackets offer the advantage of inflating immediately upon contact with water, stabilizing the child's head. These vests are faint-proof and ideal for children on boats. Automatic life jackets are often equipped with a harness that allows the child to be securely attached to a lifeline. However, automatic life jackets are more expensive to purchase and require regular maintenance.

  • Tip: How to get your child used to the life jacket

    You know your child best and how they behave in the water. Uncertainty or tense behavior can cause your child to roll over onto their stomach despite wearing a life jacket, which can be dangerous. Therefore, it's important to get your child used to the child life jacket early on and, ideally, to attend a swimming lesson. This will give your child security and increase the protection they receive when wearing the life jacket.
