Anyone have one that they would recommend?
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.
Thanks!

I might go to a boating store and see what they recommend. Sorry I don't have any suggestions!

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: http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Prograde-Drill-Door/dp/B0035RQF54/ref=pd_sim_ba_4
But if they are really young i would probably go with this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003644PTY/ref=s9_simh_gw_p200_d0_g200_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0660NTJRJQBKXE5398W0&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
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.

Stearns makes great jackets. I actually work in the marine industry and we rec those. Just make sure it's got a crotch strap and head support.
