Can this be used as a life jacket for a 2 year old on a boat?

This jacket was used in conjunction with his swimming lesson. No as a life jacket. Thanks.

as long as he can hold tube , he will be OK. but make sure he can fit to tube. my 2 years girl can use only 2 year since she is getting tight.as i knew there were various size model.

Yes . The handle bars and neck is high so your child could probably get 2 years worth of riding

It would be fine for sailing. It is lightweight and unobtrusive so you really don't think about having it on. If you are doing serious offshore ocean sailing, however, you would want to upgrade the model to an ocean model which has more buoyancy.

It did not fit well to loose for my granddaughter she was 11 months last year. I had one before for my niece the inner tube blew up with a air pump and it was all one piece looked like a little swim suit with a inner tube in it that worked well she floated all around the lake. This one the inner tube is to big around not a snug fit and the suit kept falling off her shoulders. It seems to be for an older child that can hold on to the tube and jump. Have not tried this year (lake is still froze ) she was only 16lbs last year weight could be a key factor. I did buy her a puddle jumper this year I know those work very well for kids who love the water and they are coast guard approved.

Our grandson was 5 months old and almost 17 pounds. He has a long torso. Unfortunately, even with the long torso we found the jacket was too long and pushed up against his chin and face. Fortunately, we had another jacket available that was better, but still pused u on hi face if we sat him down...so we held him the whole boat ride.

You definitely could! It's very sturdy. Though I didn't see any hooks or anything that you could attach to a watercraft. The plastic ones on there may not hold up to something with that much force.

Yes, my daughter wore it when she was two. A little big, but there is Velcro on the sides that allows you to adjust.

It's good in that it is safe, which is the most important thing in a life jacket. It is for a kid up to 30lbs, so probably good for your 11 month old. It is secure, and will stay on a mobile kid. The straps, neck float, and handle are all important features for young children. The hard part is that 11 month olds don't like life jackets. They restrict movement and are big, bulky, and hot. BUT they have to be worn!

Yes! It sure is! Wouldn't have purchased it if it wasn't Coast Guard approved. In fact, if your life vests are not approved by the Coast Guard, they can ticket you! I'd rather be safe than sorry with a great life vest for an infant.

No it would be for a child that can almost swim. I used on my child at 3 years old. Before that I used a swim vest.

I don't think so however the recommended age is 3 and over so I would be uncomfortable selling where a Two year old would play with it. Thank-you for your interest.

I am 99% confident that it wouldn't get in the way of his little legs, and it's such a great life jacket for the price!!! I use for my yorkie and she doggy-paddles like a madwomen without any problems.

Hi, we've done a lot of research and learned that kids' life jackets aren't categorized by types I, II or III. However, we and our swim instructors have tested these jackets for our 2 children (6 and 3) and concluded that the kids are un-sinkable wearing them and the only position for their heads is up above water. They are great. We recently bought a 3rd one for our 1 yo nephew.

I wouldn't think that would be safe. My 35lb 3 yr old is a little small for this. You need a 5 pt harness for a 2 yr old.

I don't think so. A 2 year old wouldn't have the motor skills nor physical ability to manage the many attributes of his stroller. Just moving the hood forward and back would present a problem, I believe. Also, the handle, even at its lowest point, would be too tall for a 2 year old.

I would say no because it is rather large and there is nothing to keep a child that small in place. It is perfect for a toddler.
