I actually work in the marine industry and we rec those. Just make sure it's got a crotch strap and head support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-life-jacket#post-82882 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 14:40:04 +0000 amy 82882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have used Stearns life jackets, currently we are on puddle jumpers but they are toddlers now. I had this one when they were younger: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Prograde-Drill-Door/dp/B0035RQF54/ref=pd_sim_ba_4" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Prograde-Drill-Door/dp/B0035RQF54/ref=pd_sim_ba_4</a></p> <p>But if they are really young i would probably go with this:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003644PTY/ref=s9_simh_gw_p200_d0_g200_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=center-2&#038;pf_rd_r=0660NTJRJQBKXE5398W0&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=470938631&#038;pf_rd_i=507846" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003644PTY/ref=s9_simh_gw_p200_d0_g200_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=center-2&#038;pf_rd_r=0660NTJRJQBKXE5398W0&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=470938631&#038;pf_rd_i=507846</a></p> <p>The thing i would look for is to make sure it has the floatation flap behind the head, that there was no floatation material in the back portion of the vest (this is what allows the baby to should they fall into the water to be faced up) and it has a strap for between the legs and one across the chest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-life-jacket#post-82113 Sat, 25 Feb 2012 05:13:10 +0000 mediagirl 82113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might go to a boating store and see what they recommend. Sorry I don't have any suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-life-jacket#post-73111 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 08:28:54 +0000 winniebee 73111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have one that they would recommend?</p> <p>DH's family has a lakehouse and boating and being around the water is a huge part of our life. I would like to get a life vest for when we are near the water this summer. Baby will be born in May. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
